About four weeks ago, Barbara came to our school and showed our class how to make origami boxes. I had to fold the paper many different ways. We blew into them and she took them to make her sculpture. When we went to the art gallery I saw Barbara's artwork. It was magnificent! I thought I would see our boxes in it and they were, all over the place. It was so unique to see and I thought it was cool how my breath is in a piece of art. I would rate her sculpture out of 5 stars, 4! Great work Barbara!

Bob Boyer Review
Bob Boyer was a famous painter who was born in 1948 and sadly died in 2004. His birthplace was in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Most of his artwork is very creative and unique. Many paintings are bright, cheerful, and colourful. My favourite is called, 'A Smallpox Issue'-1983. I like how the ringed circles represent families who have died from the smallpox disease. In some of his art pieces, the trees and grass are very realistic and detailed. They are AMAZING! Bob has many paintings including, A Seven Arrow Storm-1984, Scene/Seen at St.Victor's-1993, A Smallpox Issue -1983, Self-Portrait as Twins-1999, the Mountains, the Night and the 49-1988. They are all unique in their own way!
When we went to the MacKenzie Art Gallery, we went to many places, the front entrance, coat area, gallery, and art studio. The art gallery was huge! Our tour guide, Lindsey, showed our group many paintings on canvas and a few on blankets by Bob. Some activities we did along the way were: we got a piece of paper with twelve circles and we had to draw things made out of circles. It was a lot of fun! I drew, glasses,a smiley face, a sun,a snowman, the earth, a wheel, a ball, an eyeball, a donut, a basketball, and a piece of candy. Also, we got a bag of different shapes of felt, and in small groups we had to create a piece of artwork. My group called ours, 'Bon Appetite', because it looked like a plate of sushi. The last activity we did was, to make a pastel picture that was the same on both sides or in all four corners. It was very interesting on our tour, I would rate it 4 stars. There was some boring parts but, overall, it was good. Great work everyone!
