Today Room 1 had looked and talked about John Pule. A Niuean born artist who has lived in Auckland New Zealand since 1964. I think his artworks are to bring understatement about Pacific migration and the leap of faith Pacific Islanders have to take to create an income for them and their family. We had looked at one specific piece of art created by John which will be shown on the top left comer.
We had talked on our thoughts about the art that is shown in the top left corner. Half of the class thought it was weird, I thought that shell was mean't new life cause the koru shaped rope on his head symbolized new life or new beginnings. But it was actually about the sea.
