I taught an art lesson with a Japanese ESOL student, Hinako, who was at John Paul College for a short while.
She is a friend of my regular after school art pupil Momoko.
She came to the studio for an hour last Tuesday and needed to make something in one lesson, because she was returning home to Japan at the end of the week.
So I let her decorate a flower I already had cut out of MDF.
She painted it first with two coats of Resene Metallics in a pink which is called Enchanted.
She then put a variety of beads and buttons and old New Zealand coins I had with a plastic Tiki in the middle with glue.
I got her to copy out a label which said Flower of Fortune from New Zealand, which I wrote in English for her.
She will be able to go back home and show them what she made.
This idea could spread to the whole of Japan and I would have a studio over flowing with Japanese art students which would suit me well because they are very artistic and a pleasure to teach.
Momoko is working on a mosaic cat, which takes a lot longer to do.
Reporoa College student Sarah is in the same after school art class as Momoko and she had made a heart the week before using this colour scheme with pink metallic paint.
So it was nice that Sarah's idea was honoured.
