Native to U.S. prairies, this heirloom is also known as monarda, horsemint, wild bee balm, and Oswego tea (because of its use by Native Americans). Its complex flavor is a combination of oregano, thyme, and mint; a unique seasoning for jellies, salads, and other savory dishes. The showy, pinkish-lavender flowers bloom all summer to the delight of bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, the wood nymph butterfly in particular. Adaptable to short periods of drought and poor soils and resistant to mildew. Perennial in USDA zones 3 to 9. Deer resistant.
Diane “Honey” Jacobson’s latest book is an important comment about First Nations efforts to save the salmon and her personal youthful journey to find meaning and a sense of place in life. Like the style in her first book My Life in a Kwagu’l Big House, Diane’s style in My Life with the Salmon is full of action, amazing adventures and fascinating connections between land, water and people. In My Life with the Salmon, we follow “Honey” through sometimes hilarious and sometimes difficult periods but we always learn a life lesson.

I recently completed these Inuit Whale portraits with Grade 2 in my current residency. It is mixed media on canvas. We did them in multiple layers so there is some 3D action happening. I was surprised at how well they turned out, awesome job Grade 2! Before I give the 'how to', so we are clear and I don't get targeted again by those online haters (as my students call them): Disclaimer: I am not an Inuit artist, this is my interpretation solely for the use of teachers and parents when teaching the social studies curriculum. My blog is not a forum to address any concerns about larger issues, only to assist other art educators with their work. MATERIALS REQUIRED: - primed canvas, I use the 8 x 11" multipack from Micheals which I buy on sale (this week it's $17.99 for a pack of 10). You could also use primed heavy cardboard or 1/8" masonite. - blue or yellow acrylic paint. I use the Craft Smart brand from Micheals for all my residencies. It gives great coverage, lots of colours, and is priced right. The current brand offered to most schools in the Calgary area is too translucent, requiring multiple coats…..very frustrating. - recycled cardboard - drywall filler - black acrylic paint - white craft foam - red and black card stock - tacky glue - Mod podge for sealing - my templates: jumping whale, swimming whale - wax paper PROCEDURE: Paint your canvas, make sure to do the 4 sides as well. Using my templates, cut out the base of the whale out of cardboard. We had 75 whales being created so I made sure (tried to) that the kids wrote their names on the coloured side of the cardboard. Working on top of wax paper, add a layer of dry wall filler. I just get the kids to use their fingers to spread on a nice coat. Leave to dry. (about 6 hrs.) If they curl a bit just gently bend straight. Paint over the drywall with black acrylic paint. Leave to dry. I gave each child a piece of white craft foam. I made 6 sets of stencils for each type of whale which the kids shared. I labelled and numbered each set and placed them in a ziploc bag. This worked well and we didn't lose any pieces. Trace out all pieces in pencil and them cut out. Glue the black base piece to the canvas with tacky glue. If it is really curly you might have to use the glue gun (adults only). Glue on the white foam pieces and then cut additional pieces out of red and black card stock to add. I did not give out any stencils for the red and black details. The kids designed their own. For the mouth cut a rounded rectangle and the cut in half with a zig zag. Glue into place leaving some space between the 2 pieces. I had some copies of my original drawings for the kids to follow if they wanted. it was like putting a puzzle together. When glue has dried add a nice coat of Mod podge to seal and add a nice shiny coat. You can see yellow wasn't the most popular paint choice. Great work Grade 2! See you next time. Gail

There is a lot of Ted Harrison love at the school these days. Both Grades 2 and 3 are completing art projects based on his work. Ted Harrison is a well known Canadian artist famous for his use of line and color in his landscape paintings around his beloved Yukon home. This is an easy art project based on his work. MATERIALS REQUIRED: - watercolor paper or heavy weight sketch paper - watercolor, tempera, or acrylic paints - black paper - glue - scissors - reference photos (there are lots of images of Ted Harrison's work online) - oil pastels or wax crayons I like to tape off my paper and then draw in your line design. You want to discuss the way Ted Harrison uses a strong line to show shape or contour of the landscape, how the line is just as important as the color. With younger kids you may want to use pastels or wax crayons and draw those heavy lines. I'm using crayon here and they resist the paint allowing you to keep those heavy lines, oil pastels work even better. Start painting. It's good to start with the lightest colors first and then work your way to the darkest. Although the crayon or pastel resists the paint you still want the kids to stay within the lines if the can so you have those separate areas of deep color. With older kids you can get them to conserve that white line. When painting with watercolors you'll want to leave some space between the colors any way so they don't mix together before drying. Another option is to try the stained glass method. I've mixed a couple of squirts of acrylic paint into a bottle of white school glue. I then use this to mark my heavy lines, lie flat and let dry. (about 12 hrs.) Once the glue is dry paint in your strong color. They glue helps to corral the paint in each area for easier painting. Now you can add an Inukshuk if you wish. Cut out individual stones out of black paper. Then glue down on top of your painting. Place a sheet of wax paper on top and rest a heavy book on top of that to help it dry flat. The paintings also look great just on their own. Here is some work by Grade 2. They used their twistables for this and it turned out terrific but I think they are ready to try the painting option. Great work grade 2!
