Art<br />
Department<br />
The cultural highlight of the year for<br />
the Art Department was the design and<br />
painting of the backdrop for the Samoan<br />
stage for the <strong>2017</strong> Polyfest.<br />
Due to the massive size requirement, 22m x 1.8m across<br />
the stage, many students were required to complete this<br />
task. A mixture of all year levels from Year 10 to 13 chose<br />
to be involved and the entire project took six weeks to<br />
complete. Even though the artwork was created in three<br />
equal sections, the actual painting dominated both art<br />
rooms, enabling all art students to witness the entire<br />
making process from sketching into the final highlights.<br />
After it was installed at the festival by support staff it<br />
was clear that the cross-level collaboration had been<br />
successful and that a wonderful cultural artwork<br />
had been created by the students at <strong>Mangere</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong>. Special thanks to Ms Ah Sam for making the<br />
opportunity available.<br />
