(News from the visionary!) Tallwing used resin, silver, garnet, sterling, acrylic, copper, and diamonds in her painting of the White Spirit Bears. White Spirit bears are actually a species of the American Black Bear that live in British Columbia, Canada; every 9 cubs there is a white \" spirit bear \" born. (Icon for an Endangered Ecosystem) An oil company wanted to put the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline next to the Great Bear Rainforest. With there only being approximately 400-1000 spirit bears and the oil company's reputation for oil spills could potentially make these bears extinct. The American Visionary Arts Museum created the Army of Poets campaign to protest the pipeline being installed, thanks to the poem of quotes the pipeline will not be placed in this location.

Almost all public school teachers spend their own money to purchase school supplies for students in their class that can not afford to buy their own materials. I had gotten the idea for this piece from my sister's art project where she melted crayons vertically; however this project took a spin on the basic idea of melting crayons. When I made this piece I painted it and melted crayons on the top. This was a harder challenge than I expected as the crayons wanted to fly away so I ended up gluing the crayons to the boarder in order to melt them. When the crayons where staying in place and melting, I realized they were not melting the way I had planned. However, now that I reflect on the project I really like the …","PeriodicalId":352590,"journal":{"name":"Graduate Research Supervision in the Developing World","volume":"293 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122404460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
