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
