"Re-Imagining Books" Exhibition

Emily Whiteman —

The Year 10 Visual Arts class had a successful art exhibition, held at Eastgate Library in term 3.

Over the last term, the year 10 visual arts class have been making sculptural responses to books.  Inspired by the impending shift of school sites, the art department had a large selection of old, out-dated art books to be disposed of.  The students used these books to recreate a 3D piece of their choice.  Students researched different construction techniques and themes for their work. 

The students had to write artist's statements, and also helped to curate their show at the Library. 

Thank you to all those parents and caregivers, friends and whanau who came to the opening and also have visited the exhibition.
