Last week we went to camp at Waipara camp.

3D Art – Hundertwasser

We made 3D Art based on the study of Hundertwasser. Using recycled materials, paint, cardboard and vivids, we created our own “Hundertwasser” houses. 

I showed resilience because when things get hard I didn’t give up. And if I was stuck I would ask for help from others.

My favourite part was when we were Attaching the boxes because it was easy.
