Pebble in a Pond Exhibition
Viseu, Portugal
March 1-5,2006
Canadian Inventions/Canadian Artists
(Pebbles in a Pond)
The focus of this school year
(2005-06) in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada is the examination of the
way in which humans are part of a closely-knit world. Everything that
we do in this world affects the other people and the environment
directly around us and around the world. Every relationship, personal
or environmental, that begins, evolves and ends affects the many people
surrounding the relationship. Every relationship is different and has a
different significance to those involved. Each person views every
situation differently. Just as we may not understand exactly another
person’s situation we can never really understand how another person
feels or thinks. The student artwork (K-8) this year will be using the
concept of throwing a pebble in a pond and creating ripples each time
we make a decision. The work will include the exploration of the
concept of making decisions and how decision-making can affect all of
those around us. The artwork will comment on human relationships, the
interconnectedness of the environment and human inventions
(specifically Canadian) that have changed the way in which we perceive
the world and the way that we live in the world.
The following works will be in the exhibition. Some works are missing
because I either don't have a digital or due to computer challenges my
last week in Canada I didn't get them downloaded. Last updated Feb 22,
2006. If I have missed anyone or the links don't work I sincerely
apologize. Ms. Martin
