It was wonderful to have local artist Ray Keyleigh speak to my grade 9 and 12 art students on Friday. Ray shared his artistic process with them, and chronicled the evolution of his works, explaining some of the narratives embedded in his paintings, prints, and drawings as he leafed through his extensive portfolio. Additionally, Ray spoke about his involvement in creating large scale murals, which was timely since Warman High’s grade 12 art students are working on a large mural that will be permanently installed on the exterior of Route 11’s building. An Indigenous artist, Ray’s artist's talk will no doubt prove inspiring for grade 9 art students who are currently creating their own works of art regarding issues of concern to Indigenous peoples. Those students’ works will eventually be displayed in Warman's City Hall, Warman High School, and Prairie Spirit School Division’s main foyer.
