Wow, wow, WOW!! What an amazing way to finish the term - a visit from our chosen artists Charles and Janine Williams and their son Azariah.
You may have spotted some of their work in our Otara town centre:
We got an email at midday today to let us know that they would be popping in to meet us and see our art. As you can imagine, Room 8 were fizzing with excitement!
They were really interested to hear how we created our art and what the
symbols in our work represented. Here is Tarita explaining what
inspired her work.
We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to ask Charles and Janine plenty of questions, and they shared their experiences, as well as some tips with us.
What an absolute privilege it was to host such special guests!
They are beautiful, generous people and hugely talented artists.
Room 8 will be eager to share their excitement with the people at home tonight and I am sure we will all be buzzing about this for a long time to come.
A
HUGE thank you to Charles, Janine and Azariah for giving up their time to spend with us and high fives all around to the budding artists in Room 8 :)
