LI: To explore the world in 1840 and the art of the Treaty
This week we looked at what the world was like in 1840. Did you know that the oldest photo known was taken in 1840. After this we identifiend some of the key people and their roles in the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. I found it interesting because Hone Heke was the first person to sign the Treaty of Waitangi. We then used the information from both of these activities to help us read a painting of the day the treaty was signed. We used our knowledge to infer what the artist Marcus King might have wanted us to think was happening. I found this really interesting because I learned that the picture was painted by Marcus King in 1938.
Salam Bethany.
