A place of
magic
Street art exhibition SPECTRUM continues to delight and inspire Years 7 and 8 Art students.
Teaching and Learning Preparatory School
“We have just made our third yearly visit to SPECTRUM and it is a definite favourite with the students,” says Pip Dinsenbacher, Preparatory School Specialist Art Teacher. “The exhibition gives the students an insight into the history, techniques and meaning of street art. It also helps them to connect to the art they see every day on the streets, and recognise different artists’ work. From this has grown a love of the vibrancy, energy and accessibility of contemporary street art in Christchurch.” Pip says the names Wongi, Jacob Yikes, Sofles and Flox mean as much to the students as the names of artists whose work appears in more conventional galleries. “They examine their styles, debate their messages, and are inspired to create their own art in a real and meaningful context growing up in our unique city and community.”
