We did art work with felt when we went to the MacKenzie Art Gallery. And also a project that included us drawing things that are made of circles in other circles. Bob’s art work is very well known like Nathan Crazy Bull. It is about First Nations that died in the major world wars.

Barbra Meneley

Barbra Meneley began her working life at 15 years old as a truck stop waitress in Fish Creek, Alberta. She is currently competing her MFA in Intermeida at the U of R. Barbra came to our school and got us too make these origami cubes. That you blow up to make the cube. She said she would put all of them in the exhibit at the MacKenzie Art Gallery.

I thought I would see the blocks stacked up in towers, but instead they were as people in around the buildings. The buildings are made up of these puzzle type pieces that have pictures on each side.
