Michelle Stoney of Gitanmaax was at the Terrace Art Gallery to mentor youth in Northwest Coast styles of artwork this fall, and there’s a lot for students to look forward to coming up in the new year.
“The first day I went into the classroom at the high school. It was a pretty full class and I did a little artist talk on how I became an artist and then we did a little form-line introduction on how images are made,” said Stoney.Formline is the designs used in Northwest Coast art, she explained. Circles and shapes are a base for the designs centered around an oval that she describes as the shape of a squished salmon egg.
Laura McGregor, art gallery coordinator, explained the project is part of the Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society’s Grand Trunk Pathway Migration project, and students can continue the program into the new year. “The idea is to have all kinds of salmon swimming along the millennium pathway here in Terrace,” she said.
