Considering today's trip and last year's outings to the Art Gallery I must say that I enjoyed today's trip more. I do not know if it was the novelty of the gallery, as I had just moved to Prince George, or if it was because today we had discussions and were treated like educators and not our students but I got far more out of today's adventure.
I am not surprised that there was tremendous variety in the art we saw today. Artistic expression occurs in many ways, whether it be the haunting photographs of Nathalie Daoust, or the provocative photographs of Teri Herbert. It was enlightening to see the range of response of certain members of our group to the photographs of each and the ways in which photographs which some felt too dark for young students could be transformed into the playful activities of mirroring the images in the photographs. It all goes to show that artistic impression is capable of many interpretations and approaches.
All in all, it was an enjoyable diversion for me during this week of many deadlines.

I agree Rod, I think this was a wonderful time and really did take our minds off of the classes and allowed us to have fun.
