I am new at this thing called blogging so I probably won't have much to say. When I think about visual arts I think about native arts. There are numerous native visual arts, such as birch bark basket making, carvings (totem pole, bent box, silver and gold jewelery), and drum making just to name a few. However, the most obvious visual arts are the artists' prints; for example, Robert Sebastion who is known for his beautiful native arts. When I think about visual arts I think about native arts. Sebastian has a unique and personal connections to his prints. He is Witsuwit'en/Tsimshian and is a member of the Wolf/Bear Clan. He currently resides in Hagwilget, BC in northern British Columbia. I think the students in all grades will enjoy making animals or birds and using paints or pastels to color their choice of a their drawing. Maybe ask the children if they have any personal connection to their art.
So sit back and enjoy the video!
I have heard this artists's name but I wasn't familiar with his work. How beautiful - thanks for sharing this video! And I really like the music as well. The colours Sebastian uses are so vivid - yes, I think oil pastels would be a good choice for students working "in the style of Robert Sebastian" - or acrylic paint would be nice if your school had some. And it is important for students to know that he is a northern BC person who creates art from the same scenery that is their world.
