Te Pani Pakakau - Painting the marimbas

Our Year 6 & 7 students did a great job of painting the marimbas, and worked with care to ensure the instruments look their best.

3 finished and one undercoated: painting inside on a wet day.

Kimiora Ratana, Ja'ziyah Rawiri-Hereora-Komene and Cleveland Rawiri Randall practicing synchronised painting. The beauty of it!

Rakena Rangihuna and Aria Toia also tried the zen approach.

Finished marimbas!

All the sound garden instruments (including these pouaka tangi/ding boxes) are now painted and ready for the next exciting step, where our students will decorate them with their own patterns using stencils. I can't wait to see their designs bring the artwork to life!
