Term 4 - Week 2 (Freischund Hundertwasser)

Hundertwasser toilet block in Kawa Kawa

Hundertwasser in New Zealand 1988

This term we have been focusing our art on the famous artist Freischund Hundertwasser. We have to paint a Hundertwasser village and make a collage of one of his buildings. Here are some facts about Frieschund Hundertwasser:
-  He was fascinated by spirals and called straight lines the 'Devil's Tools'.
- His name means Peace-Kingdom Hundred-Water.
Rebekah's draft of a Hundertwasser Village
He was born in Austria but decided he would rather reside in the beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa. He is famous for designing the toilet block in Kawa Kawa in the North Island. Attached is a photo of those famous toilets. Also we wanted to share with you one draft of the Hundertwasser village. Enjoy.

    Some of you may know that Hundertwasser is one of my favourites! Have a check - I think his first name is Friedensreich?
