Students from Howick College along with their teacher gave us, year 7&8 students the chance to learn key features in their performance like Fire Dance, Ailao Dancing (Samoan Stick Dancing), and lastly learn about the background's of each costume they wore.

My friends and I were very fortunate to work with one of New Zealand's Artist, Poet, and Jewellery designer Rosanna Raymond, she gave us information on specific costumes as well as Jewellery, there was on specific jewellery that really intrigued me. The Necklace. It had Pig Horns, little Shark Teeth and Brains of Shark.

Zeal Zone - Art

Today in our Zeal Zone groups, we were given the task to create a symbol other then a poppy as a remembrance accessory for Anzac. As you can see in the image above, I have created a Dove and along back side of the Dove, is the New Zealand Fern.

I decided to use these two images for the following reasons : 

1 . The Dove, represents peace. It symbolise when the war finally came to an end and all countries had peace at last.

2 . New Zealand Fern, the fern represents New Zealand and the fact that they went to war and fought for our country.
