3) I really like when art looks misplaced and wonky very much. 
4) I chose this artist because they generally make either very unique and interesting pieces or they have very cool designs and patterns. When I was browsing her art this one caught my eye because I normally like to draw sort of simular to that and The way most of the art looks like its done without lifting their pen is incredible. ]]> 2022-01-10 18:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kaseykirkup/gyflz7hqxil12vw5/wish/1984513149 https://padlet.com/kaseykirkup/gyflz7hqxil12vw5/wish/1984516641 1)"Our Lives are in the Land".

But this is a painting about hope and revival. The bowl (doonagan) represents the bowl of their individual lives, it's their spiritual bowl. We fill it with the good things we do in our life. The strawberries represent the coming of age ceremonies, such as the strawberry fast young women go on. The young woman holding the pipe, and the young man holding the smudge bowl, along with the strawberries represent the return of their ceremonies, and the revival of everything we once had.]]> 2022-01-10 18:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kaseykirkup/gyflz7hqxil12vw5/wish/1984523472 https://padlet.com/kaseykirkup/gyflz7hqxil12vw5/wish/1984540869 1)The name of the peice is "Offerings to save the world" and Christi's insperation is the destruction of the environment .

They show a reverence towards nature. children are naturally drawn towards nature.
The figures are surrounded with the sun and the clouds. 
The colours are soft and in the same palet.
I like the round lines in the drawing and overall simplicity. 
I am one of three children in my family.
I chose this work due to it simplicity and easy conveyance of the message of a prayerful attitude towards whatever we do 

I love being in nature and flowers. 

Plus I spent a lot of time in Sickkids to see different specialists, X-rays and had an operation there. They took good care of me.
