The Art Gallery Project

Room 30 have been privileged this term to work with the Auckland Art Gallery and renowned New Zealand artist Judy Darragh. The project involves Room 30 working with these amazing experts to assist and help plan for a new Creative Learning Centre at the gallery for later this year.

The aim for this project is to involve the students in all phases of the process; from generating ideas, analysing potential problems and solutions, to evaluating the final designs. This is the first time that young people have been involved, so we are very privileged to be taking part in this collaborative venture.

The video below is taken from the 3 working sessions we have had. The next visit will be in May to discuss and critique the design options. What a great learning experience!

CIB Sharing

Room 30 has been learning about animals and topics that apply to animals and have done some fact finding research.

This involved identifying what we already knew or thought we knew and adding new found facts to our knowledge. To share we had a choice of video, sound recordings, slide shows, drama and posters.

We had our presentations and showed our facts in a creative way. Here is one example of a slideshow:
