Term+3+update

Term 3 2010 - update

We had a fabulous time last term, being the art exhibition and pet day and the beginning of spring!! Our Key Understanding was that "The Arts are a reflection of their context - cultural, historical and social, and are used by people to convey a message"

We had a close look at social contexts, and how people use art to send a message about things that need to be noticed, locally and globally. We looked closely at the art of Martin Hill, and Andy Goldsworthy. These artists are concerned with environmental issues, and use their art to raise awareness. We had a trip to Opera Point (Whangapoua) and created environmental art on the beach. We also exhibited this at the art exhibition in photo form.
