What a fantastic experience to be able to take children to the art gallery. We chose most of our children due to their enduring interest in art but this trip really would have been an inspiration to all children. Our first stop was at Lightwave gallery which is predominantly a gallery of sculpture using recycled metal at Mount Maunganui.
The mermaid sculpture captured everyone's attention due to her size and the magnificent waka filled with shells that she was displayed on. Children were surprised to learn that all those scales were made from spoons.
We were met by Melissa who took us on a guided tour of some exhibits that were of particular interest to children.
Melissa then took us to the purpose-built art room for an art lesson using some tricky techniques of a real art teacher.
Wow! What an experience for our tamariki!
