The First Peoples’ story, The Sun and the Moon by Celestine Aleck, illustrated by Cole Good beautifully conveyed the important relationship between the Sun and the Moon.

In this Coast Salish story, to help make their children happy, the Sun and the Moon make the difficult choice to part from each other. The Creator allows them to visit only at the time of an eclipse and at sunrise and sunset. The great love between the sun and the moon can be seen in the beauty of those times.

Again, our recent Science discoveries inspired yet another Art lesson. We created an Art piece that signifies the important and loving relationship between the Sun and the Moon. This was a two step process as we first used crayons to colour in our sun and moon. The following day we then applied a watercolour wash over our illustration to finish our piece.
