I recently had the opportunity to visit ROBERT RUNDLE Elementary School in St. Albert, AB. I was invited to work with grades fives and sixes, doing a presentation and ART activity in relation to my current travelling show (DIRECTIONS) with the Alberta Foundation for the Arts. I focused on Colour Theory, the Elements of Art and Principles of Design, and talked about Artists and Art Movements in History in relation to the exhibit. The photos above are of student works that were made with coloured felt markers on paper after the presentation. There were both incredible and diverse creations that day! It was a very rewarding experience!

Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park September 2010
This is a photo taken by a friend of mine... Aaron Domes... he caught an interesting and beautiful double exposure while capturing the setting sun... this was during an Artist retreat at the park... the 2nd annual... very fun, educational, spiritual and all throughout a visually stunning landscape. I was there directing a clay sculpture workshop in which the participants reflected on and engaged with the environment they had experienced over the 3 day retreat. The work is likely to be featured at the Bowman Arts Centre showcases in 2011... clay as well as paintings, sketches and even glass blowing from what was talked about thus far... looking forward to that!

The Mooly Keystone Talky
The Mooly Keystone Talky emerged through an evolutional anomaly involving a passionate love affair between Sir Edmond the Moose, Jenavieve the three-toed monkey and the pink-tickle watching hourglass goat of Delaware. One might think this was an odd love affair, but all things considered it makes perfect sense. There are three 'key' points: #1 - The pink toe nails, centre-ear and pink goatee and underbelly clearly compliment Sir Edmond's choice of tie that he wore at all cocktail parties in the Wilberly Forest. #2 - The grand smile only came after the union of the beast which completed its ability to converse in the realm of abstract thought and, of course, grunting. #3 - Jenavieve's swinging capacity was slightly diminished but through this magic union the Mooly Keystone Talky was now a much better dancer; especially in Disco, Jive and the not so oddly, Swing.
The Mooly Keystone Talky enjoys long walks on the beach, romantic candlelit dinners and Wrigley's gum. Topics of conversation may include 'The first time one ate pork spareribs', 'The New York Knicks', and 'Interplanetary travel.' If you plan on talking to the Mooly Keystone Talky, you better bring lots to drink. (Fine Wine is not recommended) Instead, a banana puree is preferred; with a twist of lemon. The Mooly Keystone Talky has also been known, in certain circles, to be a bit of a jester. Not afraid of the stage or crowds, this beast has evolved as a bit of an actor. If you are a film buff, pay close attention to the Grand Canyon scene in Thelma & Louise... you will see the wince of Mooly in the back seat of the caddy. On a more front and center note, Drew the Mooly had a voice role in the animated version of Honey I Shrunk the Kids. (Drew played the grasshopper) Where to go next: "To The Moon, Alice... To The Moon!!!"
