WPS Art Festival

Last term, we have been doing our ordinary art (Printmaking) and we have selected some outstanding pieces of art to go on the big wall at the end of the hall, to be displayed to the public.
The exhibition opened this afternoon at 2.30pm.
We learnt different printmaking techniques and styles. We made string blocks, cardboard stamps, kupesi, junk prints, leaf prints, screen prints and scraper prints.
Each week, we rotated between Whaea Josie and Ms Clydesdale. We learnt a lot of different types of printmaking, which was interesting and fun, and our art work improved.
Jamie-Lee's art has improved and she learnt to take her time so her art was better quality. Dana learnt that art is really fun, and if we do really well with art now, you could be an artist when you are older.
Some lucky people made lithographs with professional artist, John Pusateri.
