  • WELCOME TO ART

    Collapse all Expand all

    HI Everyone

    Welcome to your time in the art room.  Either Miss Wu Zheng and myself will be your teacher and although we will be teaching the same unit of work, we might have our own different ways of presenting the lessons to you.

    This term we would like to connect with the other learning areas in your Whanau to support your understanding of the term Turangawaewae.  The idea is for you to create an amazing painting which identifies some information about your place and where you live.

    Our aim is for you to have fun in art, work hard to make the most of your time, risk-take and experiment and challenge yourself to improve from your current skill levels. Ask questions about art and what you are doing in the art department if you are unsure. We are friendly and supportive.

    Regards

    Mrs Newbold and Miss Wu Zheng
