Art Meets Science
Available: until 8 October
Curriculum links: Visual Art, science, pūtaiao
Year level: 5-8
Duration: 90 minutes
Investigate how art, science and matauranga Māori connect: how can a person’s curiosity about natural phenomena inspire their art?
We look at weather systems, aquatic life, taiao and kinetic energy, exploring Len Lye's exhibition Edge of the Sea and Te Hau Whakatonu | A Series of Never-Ending Beginnings before creating our own artwork that brings science and imagination together.
