Tonga Art Experience

On Tuesday 12 of November, two Tongan artists came into Community Five and helped us to improve our self portraits. Instead of the traditional realistic self portraits we know, they got us to use expression.

They introduced us to a new type of art called collage, where we stuck pieces of newspaper or magazines to our art to give it more detail. We added different colours to make it look like a real piece of art, and we were encouraged to mix up our colours, for example, a green face , or red eyes, and other colours like orange, purple, pink, white and green.

We would like to thank the artists for giving up their spare time to teach us some new art techniques, Ms Lane and Mr and Mrs Hamilton, for organising it.
