Kiwiana at the Art Gallery

On Friday we went to the Art Gallery to look at some of the art there that has a kiwi flavour to it. Here we are listening to John our Art Gallery teacher. 

After looking at some art we went into the classroom to create our own pieces. We drew a buzzy bee - one of New Zealand's icons - and coloured it with pastel. We cut it out and stuck it onto a picture from around New Zealand. 

We stuck foil onto the frame and cut out shapes from 'greenstone' (textured paper) to put on top of the foil. We love our masterpieces which are going to be displayed in our classroom at school.
