Over the past few weeks, students have been busily Tuning In to the Term 2 Wearable Arts inquiry. The overarching theme for the performance is Adorn. We are drawing inspiration from the Māori creation myth of Rangi and Papa. Our class has been given the sub-theme of water (oceans, waterfalls, lakes, rivers etc).
In teams of 3, students have been working hard to create a list of questions that they need answered (the Asking Questions stage). Week 4 will be Seeking and Sorting week. Students will use a variety of books, websites and human resources to find the answers they need.
I have penciled in Week 6 (Monday 10th June - Thursday 13th June) as construction week. If you are able to help at all during this time, your help would be much appreciated! Also, I am on the look out for a wonderful person who would be willing to lend us their sewing machine for the week.
Please ask your child about their wearable arts creations, as your input is valuable. I am encouraging the students to think 'art rather than costume'.
Thanks very much!
Mrs Nicky Pateman
