What is my Kaupapa

What is my Kaupapa?

My visual arts course this year will be focused on Painting. I took painting last year as-well and really enjoyed it, I'm taking it two years in a row as painting is something that really interest and I enjoy being creative. I've chosen this year for my Kaupapa to be Feminism and Social conscience. I picked this as my Kaupapa as it goes well with my theme that I have picked which is 'Rich & Poor'. This theme is something that I wanted to do because I enjoy the idea of comparing things the people with money can afford and people who don't have money can't. I wanted two compare the two such as 'Money is happiness'. 

The paragraph above is my intro into my folio and my art this year. Its explains my kaupapa and a few of my ideas that I'm going to be using. Below I have created a mood board on some artist that have used the same kaupapa as me.

After completing this I have chosen three artists that I am going to use for my 2.1. These are Leonora Carrington, Banksy and Yayoi Kusuma. This will also help me start my 2.2 as-well which is my folio. 

Below is a brainstorm of my theme and my Kaupapa.

This is a brainstorm we worked on together in class, this is shows my chosen subject and some of the ideas I want to add into my my paintings/drawings. It also shows my matrix themes and some ideas that come from that, such as feminism and how body type is part of it. An example of this is how other woman view other woman as having bigger or slime bodies.

Welcome to Tourism

Tourism Activity One

Where do you want to go?/ What are you going to do

I want to go on a massive cruise ship around America, where theres heaps of people around a massive pool on the ship and water slides included. At every location we stop at I want to stay there for two-three nights. A couple of places I want to visit is California because a lot of people I watch on shows or what not live there and I want to visit them and also because I want to go Universal Studios. Another place I want to visit is LA to go on all the rollar coaster rides that are there and go to nice restaurants and just experience a very luxurious life. I want to spend a year travelling all around America.

Where will you stay?

I will most likely being staying on the cruise ship for most of the time or staying at a five star hotel in some of the places. 

How are you getting there?

I’ll be travelling there on a Cruise Ship.

Who’s going with you?

Im going to bring my family with me. Not just the ones I live with the whole to show them the appreciation I have for all they have done for me. I’ll also give them some money to spend on anything they and cover there needs while were on the cruise.

What do you need to do in order to get there?

To go on this cruise you just need the regular things in life like clothes, chargers and all the but also you need to bring a passport or a birth certificate for proof of age and all of that.
