Summary Emily Carr (December 13, 1871 – March 2, 1945) was a great Canadian artist, from Victoria, British Columbia, who also had a sense of humour. This is evident from reading through her letters and journals. Emily disliked math and made cartoons joking about it. To celebrate this sense of humour we have placed this geocache near the former location of Emily Carr University of Art and Design with permission. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We encourage a family friendly “Lame Joke” to be logged online - the LAMER the better. Since this is a nano sized cache, please log your joke on line. To start things off, one of our favourite jokes: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”What did the Zero say to the Eight ? .....Nice belt!” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have time for a short walk (approx 15 minutes away) , near by on Granville Street and 7th Ave. you will find a sculpture of Emily with her monkey, dog and horse (sculpture by Canadian artist Joe Fafard ). In the area there are many galleries along Granville street, so enjoy your search. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------Want to know more about Emily Carr? The best short quote we’ve found comes from Mary Pratt, another well know Canadian Artist: “Young, spirited and rebellious, Emily Carr escaped a strict Victorian household to study art in the Paris of Picasso and Matisse. In middle age, she shook the dust of acceptable society from her shoes and began a passionate journey into the wilderness of British Columbia; the power of her genius made her one of the twentieth century’s great painters. Fortunately, she also wrote. In her books, her warmth, her humanity, her sense of fun and the ridiculous combine to present a self-portrait of a remarkable woman and artist. There are schools celebrating Emily. Initially established in 1925 as the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts, it is named after Canadian artist Emily Carr. www.emilycarr.ca
