Art Elective in Room 8

This year for learning painting skills we create a mural. With our theme for the year being 'structures' it was appropriate to choose a building that we are closely associated with, the 'University of Otago'. The 25 children in the elective were each given one small piece of the puzzle that they were responsible for painting. This required them to focus on proportioning their paper, aligning their work with people above, below and beside their puzzle piece so that they could make a connection. It wasn't until the final day that they worked out which building they had painted. Great effort team!

The day we finished our mural and discovered it was the University.

Just adding the final touches and making a few connections with colour and shape.

The wee highlander has graduated and our wonderful mural now adorns the hallway in the senior school.
