Cultural Projects by Fiona

Our BIG IDEA that we have been learning about this term is: people create opportunities to express their culture, beliefs and values through art. Some examples that we did in Room 11 were: African mask made by Rose, collage of the Tongan flag made by Villiami, Indian handkerchief by Prachi, Emily, Jessica & Fiona, Japanese origami by Tai & Daniel, a Hawaiian movie by Ruby, Emarina & Kaia, posters about Korea and Japan by Lian and Senna. We had to choose a culture (our own culture or another culture) and do a project about it. First, we had to plan - this took a while. Some of us brought materials from home and others used school equipment. Then we slowly progressed towards the ‘Finish line’. Most of us did really well, and everyone had FUN!
