Art With Whaea Dagmar!!!

Term Two Week Two

Art with the CREATIVE

 Whaea Dagmar

UP CLOSE with CHUCK CLOSE

Top 5 reasons Chuck Close is a good Citizen.
  1. He overcame his learning disability and figured out a way to work around it.
  2. He overcame his physical challenges of being in a wheel chair and having limited movement.
  3. Followed his creative dream even though everyone said it wasn't the thing to do.
  4. He uses other knowledge like maths to help him with his art.
  5. He doesn't see himself as a role model or hero but helps other people to see that they can recover from something and get on with what they love.



This week we were lucky enough to be the first class to do art with Whaea Dagmar.

Check out our amazing artwork and watch this SPACE FOR OUR FINISHED PRODUCTS.
