6. Look at LessLIE’s art Spinning Whorl(d). This is what LessLIE says about his art piece.
   1. Spinning Whorl (d)-With the concentric circles of your eyes, focus on the black circle in
      the center of this design. After a minute or two, notice how a spinning feeling is evoked
      through the concentric crescent rings of the design. Looking at another point in the
      room after this can also alter your perception of reality. This is one of the intentions of
      this work, to alter perceptions of reality and notions of Coast Salish art. With this work, I
      wanted to evoke the spinning feeling of spindle whorls through a graphic medium. I
      wanted the image to have life and be interactive. I wanted the work to holistically be
      perceived beyond the aesthetic confines of the paper, ink and frame. I was inspired to
      create this design as a result of the exhibition Out of the Frame, curated by Dr. Andrea
      Walsh. The optical art influence should be obvious. I wanted a contemporary Coast
      Salish graphic work with cross-cultural influences which would challenge people’s
      notions of indigenous art forms as static.
7. Reading: Grade 1’s read a book on Raz Kids, Kindergarten’s spend 15-20 minutes listening to stories.
