Yesterday Room 10 and Renwick 1 went to the Suter Art Gallery to see the John Bevan Ford exhibition. John Bevan Ford was a Maori artist. We had to find different patterns in his paintings. Some patterns we found were tanoko, manaia, and koru. After we had looked at the paintings we drew patterns on a bird. Tomorrow we will draw a landscape then glue our birds onto it.
We also made a big jigsaw together. This jigsaw was of one of the paintings.
When it was time to walk back to school it was raining. We had to walk fast, but we still got wet!
We had a great time at the Suter and we'd like to thank our parent helpers: Julia, Lorellin, Georgie, Tania, and Fred. Your support made this trip possible.
We went to the Suter and we did the same jigsaw puzzle. From Room 11

ReplyDeleteI loved coming on the Suter Trip with Room 10. The birds you coloured in had amazing patterns and interesting colours. I also enjoyed helping you back at school to cut these out and glue them onto your pictures. They all look so original and beautiful.
