Cultural People

As part of our Inquiry and Visual Art this term we have been looking at different cultures around the world. Each class has been given two countries to create a painting of a boy and a girl dressed in typical or cultural clothing. 

Many are still underway in one of the empty classrooms and they are looking awesome...

Haumia has been given the responsibility to paint a Burmese boy and a Samoan girl. We worked hard to complete these during the week when the seniors were at camp. After some research into what clothing they could be wearing, we drew around a template, adding the shape of the clothing, painted in the base colours, then used masking tape and stencils to add colours and patterns on top. Every student in our class contributed to our paintings. Here are our finished products...

Burmese Boy

Samoan Girl

When they are all completed the plan is to have them cut out and attached to the fence alongside the playground.
