By Kahurangi Waretini and Shylah Karetai | Posted: Tuesday April 5, 2022

From an artist's perspective “The earth without art is just eh” The point of this article is to share how the Casebrook students and teachers feel about the art that we make in our SPEC time with Miss Zant and the different perspectives of art that we all see differently. So we hope that this will inform you about the Great Casebrook art of 2022.

The Yr 7’s have been working on a piece of pacific based artwork, and the Yr 8’s have been working on pop-art posters. We would like to thank Miss. Zant, for helping us with this beautiful art, providing art supplies for us, and just being there to teach us amazing art techniques.

We asked them some questions about the art experience:
