W.A. Fraser - Fall 2012
Story Telling/Passing of Knowledge Mural - Aboriginal Resource Library
I could spend an hr or so talking about the process of creating this mural. This one really took me a while to design because I wanted to incorporated and try out several new techniques I had been researching and reading up on. One of which is Thangka painting from Asia and of course studying more artist from the Woodland school too. I spent a bit more time looking at Daphne Odjig and Bruce Morrisseau, son of Norval.
I started to realize this was a massive undertaking this was going to be when I moved from working with several thumbnail ideas into making a scale drawing. Even at 1" scale this drawing was over 7f feet in length!!
