VAS Art Exhibition

This term our topic has been Art of Aotearoa. First we explored icons and symbols used in New Zealand art as well those from other countries. We thought about our own cultural heritage (where our ancestors came from) and created designs to incorporate icons and symbols from these countries and New Zealand. Our final piece of art was produced on a mask, influenced by the United Buddy Bear travelling exhibition (in which artists from different countries created designs on the same 3D bear shape). 

Here are our masks (see if you recognise what cultures have influenced them)...











...and here they all are at the school exhibition
