Post here if you have chosen to write about George Littlechild. Here is an example!

This is called "Cheif in the Mirror," by George Littlechild. It is a collage using a combination of photo and paint and maybe fabric or patterned paper. It contains two photos in the centre and repeated patterns in the paint. It did not have a story to go with it, but the title make me think about looking in the mirror and seeing someone great. Repeating the photo in the centre of the composition makes me think that the photo is the most important part! I like the bright colours and the way the bright blue looks against the pink. It is not like any First Nations art if have seen before, but the headress on the cheif lets me know that it is definitely First Nations. I like that it is different than other art I have seen before. My favourite part about this piece of art is the title - sometimes even if I don't feel great I know that there is someone great inside! What do you think?

 * I really like contrast George used in this painting. He has the very dull coloured man in the middle, and around the outside the pink and orange look very vibrant, as well as stand out.

It is also very different because the artist uses a photo as the main component. The colors really make this stand out!

It's very interesting how he used the colors and made the patterns.
 * this painting show the vivid color and contrast. I think it is very cool and neat looking. I think this painting is one of the most intresting painting
 * It has pretty colors.

After learning this, it seemed to me that he's thinking hard about something, and the intelligence in his eyes became apparant. To me, it looks like he is lifting his chin in a sort of defiance, and the paints on his face tell me that he has been on a long journey I NOT DONE!!!!



This painting is called: "First Nations Joe, Mixed Blood Joe, Second Nations Joe". This particular painting has no story to go along with it, but I think it represents how the first nations were the first people on this land, and it symbolizes the way white men took over. It is a very interesting work of art, and George represented the topic very well.


 * I like how the picture changes its really cool.
