YMS was very proud to showcase our whole school art celebration. Everyone worked super hard to present an amazing range of art with many items relating to Matariki, the Maori New Year.
We opened the event with our fantastic Kapa Haka supported by our kaiako Matua Anton and Mr Robertson. Senior pupils did an awesome job of welcoming and closing procedures. The whole school performed four waiata including Matariki Macarena dedicated to the nine stars of Matariki (Pleiades)
Miss Chinnery designed and created a really neat programme of events that the audience could use as a 'Gallery-Guide' which detailed what each class had been focusing on.
Installations were set to view in every teaching space and visitors were invited to wander to each space and meet the artist's and to chat about their work.
Ms Lange organised a 'Silent-Auction' with some excellent donated artworks displayed in the school office area.
She also set-up a 'Guess-Who' line art gallery which allowed everyone to guess which of the ten artists did which work! The person who guesses the most correctly wins an art pack! We had line-art donated from What Now presenters, Crusaders and staff - AWESOME!!!
Enjoy viewing some images from the day - a massive thank you to our amazing community for supporting our lovely wee school's event :)
