Visual Arts at the Lincoln Road campus has one theme running through every class this term. Rowena Rooney has set Years 7 and 8 the theme of Sustainability. The students are building their work from collected plastic.
This term all Visual Art classes are studying the theme of “Sustainability”.
We are collecting all plastics from school and home to create animals associated with the ocean, the rainforest and New Zealand native forests.
All art students will be attending a visit to Tipping Point at the Waitakere Refuse Station to become more aware of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
We will be choosing 3 to 5 items on our visit that will contribute to creating our plastic sculpture.
Collection is already well underway. The photographs show what has come in so far: soft plastics, drink bottles, punnets, lids and a milk bottle, all of it headed for the sculpture.
Families can help by sending clean, dry plastic packaging in with your child.
