On the 3rd of December Class 4 went on a trip to Te tuhi which is a Art Gallery in Pakuragna. We went inside, had a seat and watched sketch-up builds while waiting for our tutor Jeremy to come. After a while our he arrived and told us to follow him to the activity room to make tapa.
Tapa is a cloth made out of bark and is dyed earthy colours. The tapa we were making was to have symbols of hobbies, friends or family. We went inside and Jeremy gave us a sheet of paper. There were 4 squares on it. We were told to crunch the paper to get lots of crinkles on the paper. After, he told us to rub he red crayon on the four boxes. This This highlitec the texture of the crinkles. The next step was to dye the paper brown. Simple enough so I did it and it looked so realistic! But we weren't finished.
We still had to draw our symbols of hobbies and family to it! I added a computer because I love video games, a book because I love to read, a cricket ball because I like sports and a house for family. Finally we had to dye the boxes 2 different colours. I did 2 colours facing each other diagonally.
After we had finished our tapa we headed to look at the exhibits. The theme of the exibition was about pacific water but it was mostly a big blur what Jeremy said because I was to busy looking at the paintings or movies. After an enjoyable afternoon it was time to go back we grabbed our pictures and hopped on the bus to go back to school.
MOVIE COMING SOON!!! :D

Extension symbols movie
This Term year 7/8 Extension we learned about symbols because of our school topic Art Attack. Here is a movie that I made to show what I have drawn and learnt. Symbols are cultural things which means they belong to your country. I drew the greenstone and Maori flag for my 1/2 NZ who's 2nd culture is maori. I drew 2 lions because i am my 1/2 Netherlands.
