  • Cultural Identity Portrait Unit
    Cultural Identity Portrait Unit Drawing and Painting Level 4*, Year 9 This resource is offered as an example of a unit that engages with the “front end” of The New Zealand Curriculum (2007) – considering Vision, Principles, Values, and Key Competencies, as well as Achievement Objectives. *Teachers are encouraged to use or modify this work in any way they find helpful for their programmes and their students. For example, it may be inappropriate to assess all students at level 4. UNIT: Cultural Identity Portrait CURRICULUM LEVEL: 4 MEDIA: Drawing and Painting YEAR LEVEL: 9 DURATION: Approximately 16 – 18 Periods ASSESSMENT: Tchr & Peer DESCRIPTION OF UNIT Students research and paint a self-portrait that demonstrates an understanding of the Rita Angus work ‘Rutu’. CURRICULUM LINKS VISION: Confident – producing portraits of themselves that acknowledge elements of their cultural identity will help students to become confident in their own identity. Connected – working in pairs and small groups enables students to develop their ability to relate well to others. Producing a portrait which incorporates a range of symbols develops students’ abilities as effective users of communication tools. Lifelong learners – comparing traditional and contemporary approaches to painting portraits helps students to develop critical and creative thinking skills. PRINCIPLES: High Expectations – there are near endless opportunities for students to strive for personal excellence through the production of a self-portrait: students are challenged to make art works that clearly represent themselves both visually and culturally. Cultural diversity – students are introduced to portraits showing a range of cultures. They are required to bring aspects of their own cultural identity to the making of the portrait, and share these with other members of their class.

    Fiona Clark Michael Lett 312 Karangahape Road Cnr K Rd & East St PO Box 68287 Newton Auckland 1145 New Zealand P+ 64 9 309 7848 [email protected] www.michaellett.com Fiona Clark Born in 1954, Inglewood, Taranaki, New Zealand Lives and works in Tikorangi, Taranaki, New Zealand Fiona Clark was born in Inglewood, Taranaki, in 1959, a rural background which formed the basis for her hands-on approach and direct attitude towards artistic practice, attributes which have aided her in the production of an expansive body of photographic work. While studying at the Elam School of Fine Arts between 1972-5, Clark began to develop a performance-based practice, before moving into photography in her final year. Performativity and the politics of identity would prove to be concepts which informed Clark’s later work, and these interests indirectly led her to document Auckland’s drag and transsexual community. These works provided the methodology for much of Clark’s later practice, especially in their emphasis on a collaborative approach and a sense of responsibility towards the images’ subjects, as seen in the then-controversial Dance Party series, which was subjected to censorship after being included in the Auckland Art Gallery’s 1977 group show The Active Eye. After returning to Taranaki, Clark embarked on a number of artistic projects encompassing a wide variety of subject matter: Maori fishing rights, body building, HIV-Aids and lesbian cultural histories. Recently, the shows Go Girl (2002-6) and For Fantastic Carmen (2016) represent a continuation of the documentary project which began with the Dance Party series, and which now spans four decades.

  • Stabat Mater Dolorosa
    New Zealand Journal of History, 41, 1 (2007) Stabat mater dolorosa DEATH, PHOTOGRAPHY AND COLLECTIVE MOURNING Death loves to be represented . The image can retain some of the obscure, repressed meanings that the written word filters out. Hence its power to move us so deeply. Philippe Ariès1 ON 27 JULY 1916 the Auckland Weekly News had on its cover a photograph captioned ‘The Casualty List’ (Figure One). The caption directed the viewer’s gaze to the image of a solitary woman leaning against the fireplace of an Edwardian parlour. She had her back to the viewer, her head bowed, her left hand resting on the mantelpiece above the fireplace. In her right hand she clutched a copy of a newspaper. We can see the masthead; the newspaper was the New Zealand Herald. Its slightly crumpled appearance and the caption of the work leaves no doubt that she had been reading the latest lists of men killed, wounded or missing in action. On the mantelpiece was a framed photograph of a man in a soldier’s uniform. Her left hand touched its frame. Hers was a pose of sorrowful resignation within the privacy of a domestic setting. Superimposed on the upper left side of the image was a photograph of a clump of soldiers with their bayonets at the ready, with one figure in the foreground falling back as if fatally wounded. The inclusion of this picture of a battle scene suggested that she was imagining the unfolding of events somewhere on the Western Front. We do not know whether she was mourning the loss of a specific individual — lover, husband, brother — or whether her sorrow was a more generalized grief in response to the sheer excess of youthful tragedy represented by the casualty list.

Pierre Peeters Gallery presents fine examples of New Zealand paintings, works on paper and sculpture which span from the nineteenth century to the present day. For all enquiries ph (09)377 4832 or contact us at [email protected] www.ppg.net.nz Cover illustration: Len Lye, Self Portrait with Night Tree: 1947 W .S Melvin circa 1880 Wet Jacket Arm: Milford Sound Initialled Lower right ‘WSM’ Oil on opaque glass 170 x 280 mm W. S Melvin circa 1880 Lake Manapouri Initialled Lower left ‘ WSM’ Oil on opaque glass 170 x 280 mm These two works by W.S Melvin exemplify the decorative landscape painting of nineteenth century painters of the period working in New Zealand. They knowingly utilise the decorative strength of adjacent reds , soft purples and greens . Painted on what was commonly called ‘milk glass’, popular in nineteenth century applied arts, here Melvin employs this luminous medium for his deftly realised depictions of the picturesque South Island. W.S. Melvin was a nineteenth century painter who exhibited with the Otago Art Society from 1887–1913; and whose work featured in the NZ and South Seas Exhibition in Dunedin 1889–90. John Barr Clarke Hoyte (1835-1913) Coastal Inlet c.1870 Watercolour 390 x 640 mm John Barr Clarke Hoyte could produce airy, sweeping views of the picturesque, but in works like this, he combines the atmosphere and dampness of the elements of a North Island inlet, with a homely, pragmatic and altogether, endearing aspect.
