Art gallery and library visit
Last week, the Aroha team rode into town and went to the Art gallery and Library for a school trip. Aroha Rua went first, then my hub, Aroha Tahi went next. My group went to the library first. At the Library we read a book that would have something to do with the Art gallery visit and then we did some black-out poems. A black-out poem is when you take a page with lots of words and you chose some of them and black out the rest so the chosen words stand out. After that we were aloud to go around the Library and take books out if you brought your Library card. I didn't but we could come back after school to get them. After that we ate lunch and read more books.
When we had finished we crossed the road to the Art gallery and meet our teacher, Fiona. We went for a walk up the stairs where the first art expedition which was by Jae Kang and her art piece was called 'Waves of your breath' and it's touchable, unlike all of the other ones. Most people thought that it was made of pastel or water paint, but it was made of a special ink. We walked back down and talked about the art for a bit before we went to see the next expedition, by Bob Jahnke. His art is made out of fluorescent tubes, shapes and mirrors. The art work is called 'ATA'. The mirrors are use to to make the effect of it going on forever until our eyes can't see the end anymore. We have a quick look before we sit down to talk about the shapes representing some thing. After that we looked around again before we start our artwork.
We receive a black piece of wood and are told to add some crosses, squares and triangles. to it with the help of coloured pencils. We look around the expedition for some inspiration and continue with our art. once we'd finished that we moved over to the art room to do the other art we can't do in there. We first write our name on the back and then put art aprons on so uniforms don't get messy. We add more colours to our art and gather around the teaching table for the next instructing. We add paint to the art by painting Maori words, such as 'Tahi', the word I used. Once we had finished that, we took our aprons off and said "Good bye" to Fiona and went to collect our bags and get ready for our trip back to school. I hope that I can come back and see the expedition before it goes.
