Te Tuhi Recount

Te Tuhi.

On Monday, Room 29 had a trip to TE TUHI. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MORE TO PUT IN THIS INTRO SO THE RECOUNT WILL START NOW! Yay.

At sometime near the middle of the day called Monday, it was time to go to TE TUHI. We lined up and walked to the school van. Once we were at TE TUHI, we sat down to wait for the TE TUHI people to get the work shop ready.

Next, we started learning about collage. It turns out that lots of artists did collage, and it started in China with the invention of paper. We also learned that there are 3 types of collage, 3D collage, 2D collage and Digital collage. We started gluing ripped up pieces of paper to a sheet of cardboard-like paper. Then we used an ink sheet to draw designs from pages we ripped out of magazines. Finally we used watercolor paint to paint our collage.

Lastly, we looked at the collages in the gallery and finally left TE TUHI. Once we got back, the Year 4s were singing.  Next time we go to TE TUHI, we will be learning about DIGITAL COLLAGE.
