We acknowledge and respect our first nations people and their incredible contribution to the arts. A strong Indigenous representation both in language and art has been very important to us at Bloom Classroom. We feel that the beauty and depth of history that can be communicated with Indigenous art is a gift we are lucky to have shared with us. We want to present beautiful art with meaning that can promote positive conversations and initiate further education and understanding and create completely inclusive environments.
We encourage schools to consider incorporating language, art, and acknowledgment to the school’s traditional landowners in our school welcome and logo mat designs and now we are thrilled to have a collection of art from two local Indigenous artists. We look forward to this collaboration and collection continuing to grow over time as we add new designs.
