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.

Rimu MLE Song

For home learning, Liske chose to write and record a song. She wrote it about Rimu Hub. We were proud of her effort and with her permission are sharing it on the blog.


I have published it with some recent photos of students learning in the hub. We definitely have fun learning together in Rimu Hub!

Liske has created her own post about the song. Check it out and leave her a comment!

Emailing Jonny 4Higher

Created with Padlet

At the moment Rimu Hub have literacy groups researching, reading and writing about the New Zealand artist of their choice. One of the groups is investigating the mural / graffiti artist, Jonny 4Higher. It is a boys' group and we are in the process of sending well-written emails to him. Some have already been sent and we wait eagerly for a reply! The Padlet above has the boys' original ideas.

Visit Jonny's website to see his amazing murals!

UPDATE

Jonny 4Higher replied to Taylor, answering all his questions. Check it out at his blog! His replies to the other boys have been shorter because Taylor was the first to finish the draft of his email.
