Stanmore senior students show creative skills

Hot glue guns were popular as Stanmore Bay School’s senior students put together creations for their biannual Wearable Arts competition.

They were asked to design a headpiece inspired by an environmental issue, historical event, or culture.

Students picked topics as diverse as Gallipoli, Apple computers and the NZ Land Wars.

They used a range of materials and media including sewing, papier-mâché, wire and box construction.

The headpieces were judged on September 25 – criteria included how the artwork linked to the inspiration, how wearable the piece was and how independently the children had worked.
