The Art Gallery

I love art! Yesterday May 6th my class 5-6 O/O went to the Moose Jaw Art Museum. We went to find out about and see some clay work. Our tour guide was named Kristy.
Our first stop in the gallery was an exhibit of Neil McLeod work. Neil is First Nation so his paintings have warm colours and many Faces. He has some faces in them that almost look scary, with giant white teeth and red, yellow, and orange eyes. He also has a few words and even a poetic sentence.one of the few words is written in Cree. Most of my class said it was like graffiti.
The next exhibit was all Allen Harding McKay. The exhibit was braced on planes going Afghanistan. He himself was in Afghanistan, but not fighting. He was asked to come to see all of it and take a look. When he was there he took a video. When he got back he took still pictures of the video, put the on the computer, made them loom like drawings, and then coloured them.
After Allen's exhibit we went to the pottery exhibit. All of the pottery was made be the wood kiln work of Saskatchewan. Some of them were from 1920. There were ones made by hand and ones made by a spinner.
In the activity room we got to make boxes out of clay slabs. Mine had a butterfly on the lid and the bottom and had leafs on the sides.
