The message of the project is about children ’ s health : Children need to engage in physical activity . The organizers of this project are hoping to communicate specifically with children who are spending several hours online each day . Their larger goal is to have as many YouTube hits as there are people in Saskatchewan ( 1,063,535 ) by the end of term .

The Creature in Me Art Exhibition took place on March 21 , 2012 . This is an exhibition inspired by the work of Jack Sures . Dr . Norm Yakel ’ s EVIS 101 students and MacNeill Elementary School ’ s , Mrs . Wittal ’ s Grade One students worked together to produce the art .
Paying special attention to how Jack Sure ’ s incorporates his signature creation — the bandicoot — students imagined possibilities for their own signature piece . The interaction with the elementary school class , along with research gathered from www . artsask . ca , and a visit to the MacKenzie Art Gallery helped guide the fabrication of the EVIS 101 students ’ signature pieces .
