Art Time

Heke's Nan, Lee, is a talented artist who offered to come in and work with us. We are working through a process with her to complete a wooden wall hanging. Lee carves and cuts out the wood and then paints her designs, often adding all sorts of materials to finish her art off. Lee brought in many of the pieces of art she is presently working on and we thought they were amazing. She has given us a lot of inspiration to complete our own wall hangings.
First we had to doodle to find our 'inner shape' this was then drawn onto a square shape of wood which Lee took home and cut out for us. We have designed our wall hangings to reflect things we like and are painting them in our favourite colours. When this is completed we will be adding feathers, shells, leaves , wool etc that we have gathered to complete them.
We will put some more pictures up as we head towards our finished product.
