Visual Arts as a specialist subject

 

At Oranga School, our ākonga enjoy a rich programme of specialist art lessons that are an integral part of their learning journey. Students are encouraged to explore, take creative risks, and express themselves through a wide range of art forms. Each term they engage with different media and artistic styles—such as portraiture, painting, pastels, printmaking, collage, and sculpture—while building confidence and skill. They learn key artistic techniques alongside an understanding of the elements and principles of art, ensuring every child has the opportunity to experience success and creativity in a vibrant, inclusive environment.

Mrs. KP teaches art as a specialist subject at Oranga School. She is a passionate and creative Art Specialist who believes that every child can be an artist. Outside the classroom, Mrs. KP creates her own works with acrylics, oils, and watercolours, and enjoys sketching people, birds, and plants. Her own artistic practice enriches her teaching, and she loves inspiring students to see the world – and themselves – through an artist’s eyes.
