3. Welcome to drawing outside the line During this lesson we will be exploring… Drawing Identity Image: http://mystamps.bizland.com/stwire.htmhttp://mystamps.bizland.com/stwire.htm But before we start, let’s recap what we learnt in our last lesson.

4. In our last lesson we learnt that “today’s artists are”… constructing spatial drawings that we can walk under, over and around. creating land drawings using the colour, shape and texture of the land for inspiration. using technology to create drawings that make us think about the technology we use. creating optical illusion drawings to interact with the public and surrounding environment. interested in how a drawing sounds and looks.

5. Lets start this lesson by exploring “Drawing Identity”. Imagehttp://artoftrejoramiro.blogspot.co.nz/2008/12/identity-drawing.htmlhttp://artoftrejoramiro.blogspot.co.nz/2008/12/identity-drawing.html

6. Drawing Identity… We have a few ideas of what drawing can be made of or what a drawing can look like. But what is identity? Artists from around the world have used drawing as a way to express their identity. Let’s see how the artists in our last lesson and some new ones, have made art that tells us about their identity...

How we dress, brush our hair, the colour of our skin or eyes, whether we are tall or short visually projects to others the kind of person we may be. Artist Daniel Tautua’s drawings show family, friends and people in the community. Daniel’s recent wall drawings include people who live, work or go to school in the area where the gallery is located. Our family, friends and the places we grew up help make our identity too. These wall drawings were created in the Mangere Arts Centre, showing people who are part of the Mangere community. Everyday during the exhibition Daniel’s wall drawing would grow with the more people he meet in the local community. Daniel’s drawings not only show the identity of one or two people but help show the identity of the community. Artist Francis Pesamino draws portraits of notable Pacific people living in New Zealand. Francis often uses line and text in his drawings. Physical appearance is shown through dark outlines while words are used to describe characteristics and personality of the person he is drawing. These particular drawings made by Francis were exhibited in the Mangere Arts Centre, all of whom have a connection with Mangere, such as sporting role models Valarie Adams and David Tua. Each drawing has been created with outlines and words, showing the identity of these people both inside and outside.

Many cultures in Polynesia use particular patterns, each very different and some quite similar. Each pattern becomes part of a story and can be drawn using different tools. Tatau and Ta Moko are traditional forms of Samoan and Maori tattooing. Patterns are permanently drawn across the face, arms, back and legs using dark ink and specific tattooing instruments. Polynesian tapa cloth can also share identity through pattern, symbols and imagery. Each design and pattern can tell a story about the person wearing the tattoo. Patterns and symbols can represent and tell us the island, village or tribe the person comes from or the role they have in their village or tribe. Ngatu – Tongan tapa. Unique to Ngatu is the symbols of the'Pine road' (the road from the palace to the royal cemetery), or the 'Shield of Tonga', or the 'Lion' (the king) and the 'Dove' (the king as ruler).

The patterns, symbols and imagery that is used however, can create a very distinctive identity for each Pacific culture. Looking at four different tapa you can see the difference in design. Each tapa cloth belongs to a different Pacific culture showing us how distinctive each is both in design and identity. Do you know which tapa cloth belongs to which Pacific culture? 1. Ngatu – Tongan tapa Hiapo – Nuiean tapa Siapo – Samoan tapa Masi – Fijian tapa 1.2. 3. 4. Can you see these symbols in this Ngatu? 2. 3. 4.

Pablo Picasso was regarded as one of the greatest painters of the 20 th century but was also known to push the boundaries of art and what he would use to create his art. During his time Picasso made paintings, sculptures, prints, ceramic artworks and light drawings. Like Picasso, NZ artist Simon Ingram likes to push the boundaries of art and how a painting is made. Looking at the materials used for his drawing what can we already tell about Simon and what he might be interested in? We can tell by the materials Simon has used that he is very interested in technology, particularly machines and robots. We can tell that he knows a lot about this technology and to use it to make art. We could also say that maybe Simon is thinking about what artists will use to create art in the future? Will robots and machines replace artists or painters? NZ sonic artist James McCarthy also pushes the boundaries of art using technology. James uses piano wire to create a wall drawing which people can see and listen to. By looking at the materials James has chosen, we can instantly see this artist has a passion for music and art, and has knowledge and experience with using musical instruments. I wonder if he played a musical instrument when he was at school? Or if he was part of a band?

For British artist Andy Goldsworthy working with nature is the best way to make art. We can tell by the materials Andy uses in his art that he likes being outdoors and enjoys what nature has to offer. We can also tell that Andy only likes to use the natural elements around him. Maybe Andy is thinking about ways of making art that shows how beautiful nature is and that art doesn’t only have to be in a gallery?

11. Over the years drawing has been a great way to express our identity. From symbols and patterns to the materials we use to draw, they all help express parts of our identity. I wonder in 50 years time what new materials artists will use to express their identity?

12. Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far… As we have seen, drawing can express identity in many different ways…

13. What have we learnt so far? Identity can be expressed through portraiture and appearance, both of ourselves and those around us. through the materials we use when we make our art. through pattern, symbols and imagery that we use and create.

14. We hope you have enjoyed learning about the art of drawing… During your visit you will experience a range of artworks including a 3D Drawing!

15. We look forward to having you all here End of lesson
