Tuesday the 31st of May

It was really good to see most of the group in class today and to listen to your presentation ideas for your projects. Remember uni is like an endurance exercise and you are aiming for the end date of Monday the 27th at 5:00pm, not before and not after. Time management is essential in this planning.

Field trip

This Friday we are going to the Auckland City Gallery, which means we will be able to see Fiona Paddington's exhibition: Pause for effect

Waiata

Ehara i te mea1 Nō nāianei te aroha Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho Te whenua, te whenua Te oranga o te iwi Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho Whakapono, tumanako Te aroha te aroha; Nō nga tūpuna Tuku iho, tuku iho.

Not the thing of recent times, is love but by the ancestors it has been  passed down, passed down. From the land, the land comes the wellbeing of the people; by the ancestors it has been  passed down, passed down. Faith, hope and love; by the ancestors they have been  passed down, passed down.

The van leaves MIT carpark at 9:00am sharp.
Koha is $10.00 and needs to go to Jackie by Tuesday the 17th, so she can make us lunch.
Remember to think about ways that your art can be inserted into the gallery for documentation for your practice, for example if you screen-print t-shirts, wear one of your works.
