The wind is a great resource we have in Aotearoa. It is reusable energy that doesn't bring too much pollution when generating power. In my travelling time, I once found a chocolate and cocoa factory, using wind energy from the windmill. Today, we explore the possibility of enhancing our art or sculpture by the wind. Wouldn't it be nice to see your drawing fly high?
What happens in the forest at night time when you are fast asleep? Explore shades, tones and highlights while you create an amazing painting about the creatures and the magic of the night.
