Welcome to the 2024 Thames High School Art Weebly ! Our aim is to show you what we do here and , in doing so , to celebrate our students . We update it regularly so you can keep up with everything that is happening .
But first . . . .
THE PHILOSOPHY BIT !
The Visual Arts at Thames High School is about people using their creativity to make objects and images that reflect personal, cultural, spiritual, aesthetic and / or religious concerns. It relates to our wairua and how we make sense of experience, feeling and ideas. It is about our whakapapa and gaining an understanding of the world around us. Through producing practical work and studying the work of established artists and cultures, we become more confident in our ability to communicate.
Creativity is a life skill . It combines rational thinking with magical 'out of the box' thinking . Powerful stuff indeed ! !
stop press . . .
