ASATA Visual Arts Day

Auckland Secondary Art Teachers Association 2018




Lalava lashing techniques:  workshop by NZ Artist Filipe Tohi.


End of 2018 and some exciting workshops took place at Dilworth School hosted by HOD Art Laura Sunderland.  
The main objective of the Professional Development was to fuse ideas into collaborative planning for 2019 using Sculpture and Printmaking as the two art forms that are categorised as declining somewhat in the teaching programme.
Workshops ranged from Lavalava - sinnet binding: Filipe Tohi, Lisa Crowley:  Tertiary perspective and others.  I took a keen interest to Printmaking for Textile Design as a Tertiary Pathway with Astrid Visser from Massey Albany.  Ideas are leaning towards the focus of Printmaking for Level 2 boards.  Change of folio production presumably for Level 2 2019.  
Generally, my overall intention is to create a programme that will motivate students to take Art.  Printmaking may just be the art form that will enhance enough interest to come through into Art.
