Drama recital

Well done to all of the Rimu Hub students who performed in the Drama recital on Tuesday night.

Students performed scenes from famous musicals- Bugsy Malone, Annie and the Wizard of OZ to name a few.

I was so proud of the performances by each of the students. You all put in a big effort and are well on your way to becoming theatrical thespians.

Well done Jodi, Bella, Georgia, Ruby, Rosie K and Eva.

Mickey To Tiki Tu Meke

We have been learning about different New Zealand artists across the arts. Here is a description of an iconic artwork by Dick Frizzell. It is written by Bella C.

Mickey to Tiki Tu Meke

This sketch is a transformation of Mickey Mouse to a tiki, It is designed by a artist named Dick Frizzell. It is called Mickey To Tiki Tu Meke. Dick Frizzell is a famous New Zealand artist who grow up barefoot in Hawkes Bay.

This piece of art starts out as Mickey Mouse then transforms in six steps into a Tiki. A tiki is something that is kiwiana and is often on a necklace.  There is a reversed version of this art that is Tiki To Mickey

The art tells us that there are similarities between NZ and Disney character.  I like this art because it is clever how he transforms one thing into another.  I chose this because it is one of my favourites from him.

Being happy and serious at the same time is something I find unique about it.  It is special to me because it was made by someone that went to the same school as me. And I believe I could do it too, with a little practice that is.
