Canadian Identity Art Presentation
Create an artistic design that symbolizes, encompasses and defines Canadian identity (new flag, logo, etc). Explain the history that affected your design and how this represents the past, present and future of Canada. An artistic design means that you must create it, it should not be a collage of other images.
You will do a 5 minute show and tell to the class and hand in a written explanation of your art piece (about two pages of writing). Email an image of your art and your explanation to brchan@sd43.bc.ca.
