Tautoru Arts Celebration- The Process

The Arts Celebration is an opportunity for us to experience deeply the Arts curriculum and learn new skills. This year we focused on photography, abstract art and painting and how to communicate ideas that are important to use through visual arts and music. We learned how to create sounds and compose soundscapes to maths our ideas. It's been a time to let our Creativity, Teamwork and Joy of Learning flow.

Creating our art pieces:
One group focused on using the rule of thirds to capture images of the environment around us and learned about the art of John Pule and how he uses nature to tell a story. Another group focused on studying the abstract art of Miro and how he used symbols to represent ideas. The last group focused on the painting technique of impasto used by artists such as Vincent Van Gough,  and how to tell a story in several images such as the work of Banksy- Venice Biennale.

Creating our soundscapes:
We worked in groups to create sounds that would reflect our art ideas.

We are really proud of our learning! We also got to visit what Autahi and Māhutonga/Matariki had been doing and spent some time practising Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence for their artworks as well.
