On Wednesday October 7, the class and I went to the Vancouver art gallery with another class and I had a fun first time in Vancouver. The group that I was in had a BLAST! It was fantastic to see aboriginal art and the different collections.There were 2 main artists we really saw and talked about with our guide. Those 2 artists were: Christos Dikeakos and Robert davidson. The aboriginal art was awesome. It was very nice to see different art pieces at the same time, during the guide we saw masks, totem poles, baskets and cool sculptures! The 3 that really stood out for me were the Grizlly Bear Mask, The tiny totem pole and the small abalone basket. One my favourite parts was at the end of our tour when we drew aboriginal drawing art. We drew with the ovoid shapes and the u shape. Many different shapes. After the trip to the art gallery, I learned that there are many different types of aboriginal art, different shapes and clear carvings in the aboriginal art. Surrey BC is very quiet and there are not as many events and also bigger buildings. It is as if Surrey was country side and Vancouver was the big city. Similarities are, there is Churches it has many streets and it is still in BC! Overall I had the best time again and I hope to go on may other field trips with Ms.Loh and the class!

Thank you to Clotons mom and Ambers Grandma for coming to the art gallery with us, Mrs. Summers and Ms.B for helping us! Also Mr.Losmoore ,Ms.Loh and Mrs Summers for planning our scavenger hunt at the Canada place! Thank you very much for also having good friends on the trip and our team at the scavenger hunt. BTW, I fell a sleep a couple of times because I was very tired of walking around! :

On wednesday we went to the Art gallery and around Canada Place. The art gallery was fun because we got to be creative with a new art form that we just learned. I also really enjoyed the scavenger hunt although I kind of wished we could go farther and answer all the questions on the sheet ( thanks to the rain). i learned that the main shapes in Aboriginal art is an ovoid and a u form. Surrey is a lot less busier than Vancouver and doesn't really have so many building so close together. It also had a lot more food trucks on each street and it all smelled good. Many people were also in business attire and held briefcases. So? I guess all the business people work in Vancouver.

Yesterday my class and I went to the Art Gallery . My group and I went all around the gallery we saw beautiful Aboriginal paintings and saw carving and masks. I loved the sky train ride fun and it was and a little crowded but I managed . The bus drive was real crowded we had to squish in the bus then we fit in because we went with Mr. Loosemores class. The art gallery was big so we had to walk everywhere my legs got tired. The best thing for me when we went to go in this room which had a big screen of the famous carver David Robinson. We did a huge scavenger hunt we went around the Canada Place so we had a paper then we had to find each place. The Aboriginals had to do 100 to 110 ovoids. The scavenger hunt paper was all wet so we decided to follow are friends. It was a rainy day but it was the best.

Yesterday our class went on a field trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery. My group an I had a great tour at the art gallery. We saw a lot of beautiful Aboriginal art. We saw aboriginal baskets,hats,masks,and other fantastic pieces. In the gallery we also saw some famous photos by Christos Dikeakos but some of the photos are photo shop just to make it look a bit better. My favourite part about the tour were the hats. Our group learned about darwing ovoids and u shapes in our drawing workshop. We also learned that aboriginal artist had to draw 100-110 ovoids for practice. There are a lot of differences between Vancouver and Surrey. One of them is that Vancouver is more packed and a lot of people go there for tors and having fun. While Surrey doesn't have as much fun places to go in Surrey. And Vancouver has more people living in Vancouver because Vancouver is more bigger than Surrey. I would to thank Ms.Loh 'Ms.B,Coltons mom and Ambers Grandama for making this field trip be a success thanks again.

We had lots of fun at Vancouver art gallery on Oct.7

We were able to see the Gund exhibition and a lot of Aboriginal art. My favourite thing i saw there was the totem poles and masks. We also saw some art from Christos Dikeakos which was very good to. He took pictures of landscapes in Vancouver and how its changing every day. Also one of his other talents were weaving baskets and hats. To go to the Gallery we had to take a bus and the skytrain which was very packed and squishy. After the gallery we went to the welcome center near the ocean in Vancouver for lunch. This was a very fun field trip and I would like to say thak you to coltons mom and ambers grandma for coming with us for the whole day .

Yesterday I went to the Vancouver Art Gallery. My class went with div 4. I think it was really fun. The first thing that our class saw in the Art Gallery was Christos Dikeako's First Nation art collection. After that we went to go see more of First Nation art, masks and baskets that were woven carefully. It was a blast! I hope that we have more field trips like this! I want to give a big thank you to Ms.Loh for arranging this fieldtrip for us.

it was really interesting when we visited the vancouver art gallery. I wonder how people could weave such a small basket. I really liked all the masks because of their "unique" materials. I loved all the pictures. I find it difficult to draw aboriginal art but when we saw Christos Dikeakos draw it he made it seem really easy. i wish i had a real collection but when Ms.Loh said to bring a colection I just bought all my taekwondo medals. now i think i can start a collection and mabey it would go in the gund collection.

thanks to ambers grandma, colton's mom and ms.loh

On Wednesday October 7th, our class went to the Vancouver art gallery with another class. My group and I had a fantastic tour around the art gallery. It was very fascinating seeing so many art pieces at the same time. At the art gallery we saw a lot of Robert Davidson's art and we saw a lot of Christos Dikeako's collections. During our tour we saw baskets, masks, totems, and many different sculptures. At the end of the tour we got to draw first nations art like animals/patterns. After this trip to the art gallery I have learned that art could be made out of many different materials. I have also learned that art could be inspired by spill accidents too, like for example you accidentally spill juice on the ground and it turns into a beautiful pattern. Vancouver and Surrey have many differences and many similarities. Vancouver is crowed and has many places to go to. (Rogers arena, Art gallery, Canada place, Stanley park, and many others) Vancouver is a very exciting and loud city, but on the other hand Surrey is a very peaceful and quiet city. I had lots of fun on our trip to the art gallery, on this trip I think that I have gotten a lot closer with my class and that really made me happy. I hope we get to go on other field trips like this soon, but for now lets just hope for it to be a beautiful sunny day next time!

Thank you to Amber's grandma and Colton's mom for tagging along with us on our trip to the art gallery!

Yesterday I went on a field trip to the Vancouver Art Gallery with my class.  I especially enjoyed riding the skytrain and seeing all the sights out the window.  My favourite piece of art was the carved wooden mask of a wolf.  When it was my turn to share with my group I told them it was my favourite because I liked the carved teeth and the bright colours the artist used. After the Art Gallery we went to Canada Place and had our lunch. Outside we were able to see the ocean, moutains, seagulls and some seaplanes. It was a rainy day but I still had fun!

We had a lot of fun yesterday at the Vancouver Art Gallery. We were able to go see the Gund exhibition and saw different Aboriginal  collections. There were collections of Aboriginal baskets, masks, totem poles and a lot more. My favourite collection has to be the baskets (by Christos Dikeakos) and I even saw a basket that looked like a house( I have to say that was my favourite out of all of them). We also saw this item that was a serving platter and one side of the platter is completed by a master carver and the over side is completed by his student. After the tour we were able to go to a workshop where we got to design and create our own Aboriginal picture. I was able to make a abstract Aboriginal art work. Vancouver and Surrey has a lot of differences and similar spots. For example Vancouver is very busy and has a lot of buildings and famous places to  visit, and Surrey is very calm and quite and doesn't contain a lot of famous and fun places. This fieldtrip was a lot of fun and hopefully we have anther one coming up! :)

Yesterday,div.4 and our class went to the Vancouver art gallery. My group an I had a lovely tour, of aboriginal art and collections.One of the collectors was Christos Dikeakos. I really liked his collections and photographs. I also liked the baskets. I learned a lot of things about the baskets. Did you know that the basket art wasn't just made out of straw. They used cedar bark,berries, shells,and mud to decorate and make the baskets.My favourite parts of the field trip was. The public transit and when we learned how to draw aboriginal art by a real aboriginal artist. I learned how to draw ovoids and to flow and go for my art! Did you know that the artist students had to draw 100 ovoids for practice. One of the differences between Vancouver and Surrey is. Vancouver is packed and has more tourist attractions.Surrey is still growing and more laid back than Vancouver. I think Vancouver is more of a bisnis city . Surrey is more of a family friendly place. I loved this field trip and looking forward to more ( with our class).Thank you Ms.Loh,Ms.B and all the parent volunteers for making this field trip happen.

Yesterday, my group and i learn about a Vancouver-based artist Christos Dikeakos. We explored his exhibition of first nations collections. I love his photographs. We also saw some baskets. My group thought that they saw a nazi sign on a basket but it was called a four way sign. I learn that they don't put the four way sign anymore because people think that it's a nazi sign too. Vancouver has lots of buildings while Surrey has lots of houses. In Vancouver it's also crowded with people and lots of cars driving to get to work.

Yesterday was really fun. Our class went to the Vancouver art gallery with Mr.Loosemoores class. we saw the Gund exhibition which was one of my favourites. I also really liked seeing the baskets. I noticed a price tag in one of the baskets but I realized that it was actually a lot number from an auction. We went to a workshop and we learned how to make First Nations art. I drew a raven on top of a bear and I was really proud of it. Once the tour was over we went on a scavenger hunt. I think that Surrey and Vancouver are pretty similar in some ways but also different. Vancouver has a lot of tall buildings whereas Surrey has a lot of houses. It's also very busy and noisy in Vancouver but in Surrey it's not as busy and loud. I really liked this field trip and I think we deserve another one!

Yesterday, everyone was there but our good friend Justice did not come with us.We had to leave him at the best school ever. We went on the bus then we went on the sky train to see the art gallery. The sky train was not very bad because there where a lot of people. Finally we where there and it was amazing.My group saw a nazie sign on the basket but it was called a four way sign. I learned that everything you see don't think it something bad.Vancouver is way bigger then Surrey because of the buildings our way bigger.

Yesterday, my group and I explored Christos Dikeako's exhibition of his First nation collections. We saw masks, baskets, carvings, totems and sculptures as we walked around. My favourite part was seeing the baskets because they looked so beautiful. I learned that swastikas were actually an Aboriginal symbol for the sun at the start so it was weaved onto baskets a lot. Then once the Nazi's were affiliated with them, they stopped using it for 50 - 100 years. Vancouver is different than Surrey in many ways, but they are also the same in many ways too. In Vancouver, it's crowded but there are many places to visit. (Art Gallery, Police Museum, Canada Place, etc.) but in Surrey, it's more peaceful and it doesn't hold many important/exciting places. This is one of the reasons why I think they're different from each other. Overall, I enjoyed exploring the Art Gallery and Vancouver once again with my class! Let's hope to get more field trips like this soon!
