We think about the wonderful people and resources that we have in our community. Our thoughts go immediately to Butch Dick and Ted Harrison. Both have been in the school, both are master artists, both are master teachers, both have a great love of sharing their skills, stories and have the gift of touching the hearts with children and both live in Victoria. (Ted Harrison was my art teacher in Whitehorse where I grew up and is also a friend.)
Lori and I realize that their art is so unique and striking, Butch with his coast Salish designs and Ted with his bright simple images, that to use either as a model for our children would not achieve the independent look and feel of children's art that this project needs. So back to the drawing board.
