A Visit from our Featured Artist
Martin Horspool a New Zealand artist who creates 3D sculptures of robots from recycled junk. Today he visited us and talked about his robots, how and why he makes them. He also spoke about creating balance and personality in his robots.
I have seen work from the artist in Hamilton and I am sure that your students were thrilled to meet the artist himself, thats a wonderful opportunity to learn first hand for you and your students.
Wow! It must be so exciting to have somebody so talented to visit your school. Thanks for sharing with us.
