Te Moana – The Ocean

These woodcuts are based on Te Moana.

The visual elements in the prints have come from a study of kowhaiwhai patterns, some Pacifica Art and Contemporary Art associated with the ocean.

Personal images generated by each student were also incorporated into some designs.

Each student had to combine all these elements in a series of three sketches and then choose one to develop into a finished print.

In the production of the prints students had to master cutting, inking and printing skills.

We have just farewelled some of our visiting students with their last assembly. Nina and Marie both spoke about their year at Geraldine High School and thanked their teachers and all their friends for making the year an unforgettable one!
Also leaving us and speaking to the school was Heather and Aysegul. Heather talked about how welcoming she had found Geraldine and Aysegul wanted to thank everyone for making her year special.
We wish them all safe travels back to their countries and hope to see them again some day soon! Ka kite ano!
