Term 1 Identity

Around the end of term 1 we did a piece of art kind of introducing us to what what we are doing this term, which is about art. To do the art we got the teacher to trace our shadow onto a white piece of paper. Then we cut that trace out and stuck it on some black paper and put it one the wall.

Express Yourself In Art

During this term we have been researching artists, this is a piece of work that I have done in a group.

Marti Friedlander

She began working as a photographer in 1964, when she travelled around New Zealand.

Her passion was taking photos of New zealand and the different events that took place.

Marti Friedlander photographed the people of New Zealand from the 1960s up until the present.
By bringing an immigrant’s perspective on her adopted country she showed New Zealanders to
themselves. She is particularly renowned for her portraits of artists in the 1960’s and 1970s, and for
her images of the last Maori women to have received the chin moko in a customary manner.
