On Tuesday 19th of August, our class visited the Tauranga Art Gallery. I decided to make the most of it by reviewing the pieces we were able to view. Here are my reviews.
When we entered, we sat down in front of a Red Piano with a Maori design on the edges. It was called the "Black Rainbow" made by Ralph Hotere and Michael Parekowhai. The piano was very well detailed, and was even amazingly playable! There was a real neat story behind it also, and what the designs were actually for. We then moved into a room with letters EVERYWHERE! The lady taking us around (Mel) told us that each letter meant something involving writing such as; I being Illustration and N being Narrative. We had about ten minutes to look around and explore before we went through some books and explained what letter it would be out of N and I.
Later on, we then went into the Art Studio. Mel told us we had to make a random picture using water colours and a straw. It was going to be put into a class book of all these weird and wacky art designs, made into odd animals. Mine was "Tazz Fazz, who bought his favourite Jazz." Pretty weird, huh? Mrs Mills then put it into the book and sent it back to the Art Gallery. I wonder what they thought of it?
