Tiffany Seymour : "When I first approached this wall it was very overwhelming because it was the first wall I'd ever done and I needed some help. My teacher Mr. James McLellan helped me come up with a sketch. It was just a preliminary sketch, but they appeared to like it. What they wanted was a heritage prairie scene with grass, and then I added some aboriginal people on horseback talking to a farmer. After a time, I got bored with painting the prairie scene so I added a few fun things to make it more interesting. There's an eye at the bottom of the log cabin. I put a dragon in there, too (see photo 3). He's camouflaged in the grass and wraps around the boy and the dog. James also inspired me to add the Sir Isaac Newton quotation."

"We added the farmer but he kind of looks like Mario! Erin drew the dog, the little boy and one of the horses and was a huge help on that Mural. Mandy (van Leeuwen) provided a lot of assistance to get me going."
