Art work Extension

 

End of Extension

2020 is coming to an end. It was my first time being in Extension Class. I would like to think of it as an opportunity to be thankful for. I give many thanks to Mrs Langitupu for giving me the opportunity. I have a few highlights for this year.

My favourite highlight for this year would be the year 7&8 Extension Trip to KMPG. Some of KPMG's team took us around the KMPG building for a tour. We made christmas cards, decorations and gifts. We ate some nice food, my favourite food would've been the chocolate muffin :))

Pt England's Art Exhibition

Today Pt England School had an art exhibition. All of the classes had to make art and put it up in their classes. 

First team we visted was team four. Team 4 drew different types of polyneisan patterns. Each pattern had a little description about what that pattern sumbolises. I saw alot of Niuean, Tongan, Maori, Samoan and Cook Island patterns. My favourite ployneisan pattern's were drew by Ezekiel, I say this because of the detail he put in his drawings.

We then made our way to Team 1. Team one looked at differnt types of art, they looked at Pablo Picasso's shape art and Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers. Team 1 mainly looked at art with colour. They recreated different piece of artworks and used different artist's methods.

Team 2 looked at cubism potrait, Pablo Picasso, Indian elephants and rangoli pattern's. They created different pieces of art works by using Pablo Picasso's  shape method.

Who was Kate Sheppard and what did she do ???

 Kate Sheppard was a protester for ‘Women’s rights’. She was born on 10 March 1847 and died on 13 July 1934. She fought for New Zealand women’s rights to vote. Kate Sheppard was born in the UK but later on left to permanently live in New Zealand. 

 

The ‘Women's suffrage’ protest was a famous protest held in New Zealand. It was first held in the 19th century. The protest was held to give New Zealand women the right to vote. It took a few petitions for ‘Women’s Suffrage’ to be successful in 1893. 

 

Kate Sheppard travelled around New Zealand for 6 years. Her first petition failed in 1891 but she tried again. Another petition was held in 1892 but failed yet again. In 1893 she collected more than 32,000 peoples signatures for her petition, it was taken to Parliament House in a wheelbarrow.

 

In the early 1800s women had restricted roles, that changed in 1893 when New Zealand became the first self-governing country to give women the right to vote on the 19th of september, in 1893. 

 

Kate Sheppard was a really good leader who fought for New Zealand Women’s rights to vote and have a full role in society.
