This week we spent a wonderful time learning about the local history of the sculptures around the waterfront. Claire from the City Art Gallery told us about how artists use shapes to illustrate ideas.
Our first stop was looking at the ferns and shapes of the sphere above the courtyard.

Then we looked at the story behind the maunga and awa on the bridge and the sculptures of the legend of Ngake and Whataitai.
