Whitireia Visual Arts and Design

Whitireia Visual Arts and Design Whitireia New Zealand has been at the leading edge of Visual Arts and Design for more than 20 years.

Drawing on Pacific, Māori, and European traditions, combined with technical excellence, it has produced outstanding New Zealand artists Wi Taepa, Vaune Mason and Andrew Tau'afiafi. Tutors such as Owen Mapp, Peter Deckers, Chris White and Deb Donnelly bring artistic depth and international experience to the programme. Since Digital Design was introduced in 2000, it has extended the creative edge in

to the new media and provided a bridge between art and the design industry. Mid-year and end-of-year exhibitions are annual highlights, together with our intensive workshops where internationally renowned artists and designers teach their unique skills.

Hi everyone. Hope you have had a good break and are looking forward to getting back into your studies. Next week is orientation week, so we are having a morning tea at 10.30am on Monday to welcome new and returning students back to VAD before the Powhiri which is scheduled for 11am.

Looking forward to seeing you all next week - Brenda.

Today we had a group of 22 Taiwanese students spend the day learning the joys of design. We explored the typography of Porirua through photography and then created patterns using the images. It was a joy working with them!

Letter of Porirua:

Last week our design students took part in an extensive week with Alice Moore and Adrian McCleland. Students were asked to explore Porirua through its typography, emphasising and / or exaggerating a particular stance or point of view. The students then employed a variety of graphic techniques, such as; (re)-drawing, scanning, clear cutting, etc., to produce a range of digital elements which were then used to create a time based media output. We got some fantastic results!
