Creativity in the Long Bay landscape
Recent trips for two Year 10 Visual Art classes allowed students 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 and planning a composition of multiple perspectives.
For each group of students visiting Long Bay, the Vaughan Homestead provided several more structured images to contrast with the open landscape views. They observed a karakia with respect to the land and its natural resources. The students also enjoyed a flax flower weaving session, creating another element to include in their final painting on return to the classroom.
