Pacifica Heartbeat
On Tuesday the 20th of March the Totara team went to Pacifica Heartbeat. We learnt heaps about pacific art and culture. First we learnt about how to say 'hello' or 'welcome' in lots of pacific languages. Secondly we went to the Auckland Art Gallery were we did weaving and designed patterns based on John Pule's art which we tied together to make a necklace. Next we went to the Town Hall were we learnt to hula and play drums. Then we went the Aotea Centre and did digital tapa art with the help of artist Vaimalia Urale. We made our own digital art, and made it into stickers. Lastly, we performed our hula dance in Aotea square. We had an awesome day and learnt heaps!
