  • 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.

Sweet Charity really is an act of love. Legendary Italian film-maker Federico Fellini created the filmNights of Cabiria for his wife Giulietta Masina. The famous American choreographer Bob Fosse then turned it into a Broadway musical for his wife Gwen Verdon. Perhaps best known from the iconic 1966 film starring Shirley McLaine, Sweet Charity is a feel-good dance musical in the best sense. I love Jackie Clarke’s work and have been looking for something to showcase her talents for some time. The New Zealand Post Season of Sweet Charity is the perfect vehicle for her great voice, her playfulness, her mimicry, her extraordinary understanding of musical styles and her irrepressible energy. I’m also privileged to work with two of New Zealand’s finest and most committed artists, choreographer Shona McCullagh, and musical director/arranger (and composer in his own right), John Gibson.
