Year 10 Visual Art classes visited the Long Bay Coastal Track to photograph and sketch the land and seascapes in preparation for a Painting assessment task.
They have been learning how to observe and record tonal and textural information as well as planning a composition made up of multiple perspectives. The Vaughan Homestead provided a number of more structured images to contrast with the open landscape views.
A karakia was observed in respect to the land and its natural resources before students made and photographed a woven harakeke (flax) flower. These images will be included in their final landscape-inspired painting on return to the classroom.
