Term 3 Week 7 Art Trail

Last week, Kauri Hub, which is my hub, went to an Art Trail. Also, a fun bonus thing we got to do was that we got to go to the Art Gallery. 
In my group there was, Henrietta's mum, Henrietta, Briar and Lake. We were in Mr Kenny's group. First, we had to do the Art trail, then when we were finished we would go to the art gallery. I think it was good that we got to do the art trail first and then go to the art gallery because we would be tired walking around town, by going to the art gallery second, we could rest. 
First, our question was to  name all the birds on the wall by the court house. I can't remember all of them but I can remember the first one which was name all the birds. Then, when we finished the art trail it was time to go to the art gallery. When we were in the art gallery this lady came and told us the rules. My favorite thing in the art gallery was the hands beat, what you had to do was there was this box thing and you have to move your hands and it will make a beat. After we looked at all the things we went back to school. I had a great day.

Here is a picture of my group!!

Week 7 Term 3 Driftwood Art

Driftwood Art

This is what my word looks like

My class, Room12 did some driftwood art for the art exhibition. We were inspired by Jack Marsden Mayer. He makes animal art out of driftwood. So we made our own driftwood names. The day we were going to do it Mrs Miller said that you needed to think of a name for your driftwood art. Mine was Livy so I collected all the driftwood that I needed. So then I sat down and started to make my name. But It didn't turn out right so I thought of sky.I found this super cool S and Y already made. The S was made out of bamboo tree. The Y was just normal driftwood. For the K I just had to find 3 pieces of driftwood, one long and two short ones. Once I had made my word I showed Mrs Miller and she took a photo of it. Then it was time to glue my word together. Then a few day's later we had to tie a string onto our driftwood.


Jack Mardsen Mayer

His name is Jack Mardsen Mayer, he's from Manchester, England but he lives in New Zealand. He attended Gordonstoun International School where he studied sculpture. He has been working with driftwood since he arrived in New Zealand 2008!
