| My
grandpa, Leonard Chana is an artist. He is nice and polite. He came to my
school to show my class the kind of work he does. He talked about what kind
of materials he uses. He also gave my class a signed copy of his artwork.
My teacher, Mrs. Gee, really enjoyed his stay. When my class went to lunch
most of the teachers came to see some of the work he brought. Some of the
teachers bought drawings and t-shirts. He gave me a pack of nice greeting
cards he did and more drawings. |
| CC:
Do you have strong memories you can share about your childhood life? LC: I have a lot of memories. When I first went to school I didn't know how it was run. That was the most memorable part. The other one was the time I went to public school for [only one semester.] That was one of the higher points in my childhood life. CC: Have you ever been out of the state? LC: I went to school in California, so I guess that's out of state. I went to boarding school at Sherman Indian High School, which is in |
Riverside,
California. I've been in San Francisco and in Denver, Colorado--mostly the
southwestern states. CC: Can you tell us about your book? LC: The book is called "The Way To Make Perfect Mountains." It's written by Byrd Baylor, this was one of the books that I did illustrations for. They're short stories of different tribes of how they started out when the Earth was young. Just different myths and the magic and culture [that] took place back then |
