Wearable Art with a Pacific flavour!
Room 9 have spent the last 2 terms creating 2 pieces of Wearable Art.
The first piece was a t-shirt with a painted picture that reminded us of the Pacific.
The girls chose to sketch and paint a Pasifika flower.
The boys chose to draw a sea turtle.
Inside each of these drawings were patterns that we had explored and seen displayed in
Pasifika artworks. We practised by sketching these into our art books.
The second artwork created by the girls were hula skirts. We reused plastic bags and tied them together as we worked in pairs. At first it was a little tricky but the more we did, the better we got at tying them together. Like they say - practise makes perfect!
The second artwork displayed by the boys was a Lavalava or Pareu (sarong)
to compliment their t-shirts.
We had a lot of help from Mrs Kong to complete the sarongs, painting of the t-shirts and in the construction of our hula skirts in time for the art show so a BIG THANK YOU to her for all her help! We couldn't have done it without you.
We hope you enjoy our wonderful creations ... Tamure tamure, e te muremure ra...
