Native Canadian Art

We have been learning about Canada and the last week we have been looking at one of Andrea's favourite artists, Andy Everson. She met him when she went to Comox (in Canada) 3 years ago. He is a dancer and an artist and works hard to keep his culture alive.

We really like how he mixes his traditional art with modern items in society as well.

We made a movie of our Kid Pix art. WALT try to draw an accurate rendition of one of Andy's work and also choose the correct tools for the desired effect.

Enjoy!

    Andy Everson has so much talent and you have captured his ideas and techniques very well. I really like the colours he uses, colour blocking technique and use of traditional shapes. Thanks for posting!

  3. Hi Room 14,

    I love your interpretation of Andy Everson's art work. I'm really impressed with the detail you have used in your versions. Room 3 is learning to use Kid Pix. It's great that I can show them this so they can see what the big kids can do on Kid Pix.

It's awesome to see someone from another country to comment on our artwork, but it's even more amazing because it was your work! We can't believe you found it! We are so flattered that you like our versions of your artwork.
