This week George's mum, Rebecca, came in to take a workshop on self portraits. Rebecca is a wonderful artist and brought in her art work to show the tamariki.
The children used mirrors to study their unique features and transfer what they saw onto paper. Everyone practised on paper first before having a go on a canvas with water colours.
Rebecca asked the children to look for shapes they could see in their faces. Ovals and circles were the predominate shapes. She discussed how eyes have an iris and a pupil and the children had to stop and think carefully as they drew these features.
We value whānau bringing in their expertise. It encourages whanaungatanga/relationships between kindergarten and home. Children learn in an environment where their unique skills are valued and families gain a sense of belonging when they are invited in to share their culture.
Kia maumahana tau mana ake. Remember your uniqueness.
