Thursday 4th April


Auckland Art Gallery Trip & AUT

Thursday 4th April, 23 students took a day out to the Auckland Art Gallery & AUT to view artworks.  The trip is designed to facilitate students with the required skills for the Literacy Standards worth 4 credits for each year level.  Critical analysis was studied by students to examine the reasons why artworks are created?, the purpose/intentions of the artist etc.

AUT provided a deeper scope for students to make connections with the Pathway Careers.
It also enabled students realise that Visual Arts not only provides the mainstreamed subjects of Painting, Printmaking etc but also enables other avenues into Digital Technology with the famous Weta which produce Lord Of The Rings etc.

It was really rewarding for the students with the positive feedback gained from this worthy experience they gained.  Hopefully it will give students some basis on which they can move forward and make meaningful connections with their artworks.
