Sustainability Art Exhibition
Written By Chloe Woods
In Term 3 the whole of Sockburn School were focusing on pollution and sustainability. Each class constructed a presentation on our topic.
P1: Kahikatea created 3 presentations, a mural, sculpture and storyboard. Each presentation included facts and information about sustainability and pollution put into one! The mural had two sides to it, a sustainable side and an unsustainable side. The moral of the mural is for someone to chose a lifestyle.
P2: The sculptures were made out of ice cream containers and spare art equipment. We had to try and make a pollution/sustainability through a sculpture. A kind of sculpture that was sustainable and stopped pollution.
P3: Kahikatea also wrote an information report on pollution and how it affects the world. We all chose a separate topic to work on. A lot of people chose marine life. The presentation of the pollution writing was set out on a massive board for everyone to see.
P4: Pohutukawa & Matai also created artwork. Matai had a spectacular idea, it wasn’t based on pollution or sustainability. Matai collected clear plastic bottles and painted them different colours. They also curled the bottles and stuck them to a piece of wood. These are called chihuly’s!
P5: Pohutukawa created clay bowls. It wasn’t much but the bowls were very eye catching and actually caught people's attention. The bowls were all different colours, shapes and sizes which made them special.
Conclusion: Overall the art exhibition was a very awesome event and a lot of families came. There could’ve been a lot more changes including lights and more artwork. But at the end of the day we tried our best and made and awesome effort.
