I would probably go to the 70s to meet my family/parents and see what they were like! - also buy some vintage things to sell later or keep to myself

# data[].attributes.body
I've been to Australia 4 times throughout my life

# data[].attributes.body
OMG how to train your dragon was my childhood!!
The book are better than the films.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t have a single favourite, just really enjoy anything salty and crunchy! (Especially if it also has cheese, even though I’m slightly lactose lol)

# data[].attributes.body
Painting, Photography, Maths for life (tax, saving kiwi saver stuff) dance and art history

# data[].attributes.body
Art history, psychology, legal studies, english, history

# data[].attributes.body
Book recommendations anyone?

# data[].attributes.body
My favourite medium is definitely acrylic paint. Or prismacolours but colour pencil takes sooo long.

# data[].attributes.body
Started reading one flew over the cuckoo's nest but I've been too busy :(

# data[].attributes.body
I go by She/Her!

# data[].attributes.body
Same! I am too

# data[].attributes.body
Yes!! Although I think I like the movies slightly more, but its been awhile so maybe I should give them reread...

# data[].attributes.body
Pretty much anything! Favourites right now include David Bowie, Hozier, Cosmo Sheldrake, The Crane Wives, Tears for Fears, Cavetown, Fleetwood Mac, Bon Iver and more.

# data[].attributes.body
Oooo art therapy sounds cool!

# data[].attributes.body
I'm really interested in set design and concept art for film and tv, though I'm not completely sure yet

# data[].attributes.body
Modern art (1860s - 1970s) is my favourite period of time for art, there were so many new styles emerging and techniques being explored as most artist were moving away from traditional ideas of art

# data[].attributes.body
Art Nouveau (approx 1880s - 1910s), I love how it takes inspiration from nature and organic forms, which would not have been as popular until then due to the influence of the industrial revolution. I think Alphonse Mucha is a great representation of this style, and one of my favourite artists!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Half of the population believe in elves
2. They have a lot of hot springs
3. There is a lot of volcanic activity

# data[].attributes.body
I've had holidays to Samoa and New Caledonia. I have family in Australia so prior to Covid visited them every so often. I went on back packing trip around Europe when I graduated and most recently visited Japan.

# data[].attributes.body
If I wasn't a teacher I think I would have still worked with people. At one stage I thought about Physiotherapy. Art Therapy also appeals to me, but it is a very niche industry in NZ

# data[].attributes.body
A bit eclectic. I like Leonard Cohen, Marlon Williams, Radiohead, Muse and more.

# data[].attributes.body
I speak un poquito Español, he iti te reo Maori

Oh Iceland?

# data[].attributes.body
Bingo

I think for selfish reasons I would travel back to the 1940s-60s so I could buy lots of vintage fashion from that era. I would also like to travel to the 2000s for nostalgia reasons :)

# data[].attributes.body
I love chicken burgers, poutine & lasagna.

# data[].attributes.body
I think realising my genderfluid identity over time has been pretty huge for me. Being comfortable in my own skin has taken a long time

# data[].attributes.body
I know it's really weird, but drawings/sketches/illustrations of fashion catalogues from the 20th century are very lovely to me. I don't know if it counts but I love the loose feeling of them and the way they colour them. The way the bodies are sculpted in relation to the clothing is really pretty.

# data[].attributes.body
Dad's side: essentially entirely Irish, with some English.
Mum's side: Great Grandmother's family immigrated from Europe to Australia around the early 20th century I believe. So European-Australian. My Great grandmother married a second time when my biological great grandfather died in the second world war, and married a Jamaican man, so I personally do not have Jamaican ancestry but I have a lot of Jamaican aunties, uncles and cousins that mostly live in the UK. I've called them a couple times and talk over text, but I'd love to meet them all someday.

# data[].attributes.body
Haha same! Vintage fashion is so cool

# data[].attributes.body
Yay cool! Why did you chose it?

# data[].attributes.body
As someone that loves sewing and drawing, I totally get it! There is actually a lot of work that goes into them to make sure they show all the important features of the garment and how it moves, while still being simple enough that they can be done fairly quickly :)

# data[].attributes.body
From what I know of Iceland (through comedians like Ari Eldjárn, watching documentaries, reading about travel in Iceland), it seems to be a country that is a bit quirky, has a zany sense of humour and doesn't take itself too seriously. Plus the history is really interesting.
I've also enjoyed films that have come out of Iceland in recent years (Rams comes to mind).

# data[].attributes.body
Nice choice, suits me a bit too. Would be cool to visit someday

# data[].attributes.body
Congrats! Discovering yourself properly can be like finally seeing the world with glasses, its amazing :) I have came out as genderqueer in the past few years

Starting up a rainbow group with a few friends for my small rural school has been quite something. I've never had this kind of leadership role or responsibility so its been both very exciting a little bit scary

My mums side are from Scotland but thats a long way back, and idk where my dad appeared from.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe my taste is dreadful to most but..
car seat headrest, Fiona apple, pixies, the sugar cubes. Yada yada the list goes on, but i saw that someone here listens to cavetown and that gets a stamp of approval.

# data[].attributes.body
Anything in creative industries but the ultimate dream is to be a fine artist selling paintings, exhibitions, and also commission work. Not just paintings, I make glass rings from recycled bottles and I think ill continue that.

# data[].attributes.body
Art history, painting, design, animation and design SIT course, biology and English.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely cherries.

# data[].attributes.body
Idk if we’re counting cinema in this but if we are then at the moment its either what we do in the shadows(film) or Our Flag Means Death.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah! Ayeeee I love how queer this class is <3

# data[].attributes.body
That's so cool, especially with the rings! Best of luck :)

# data[].attributes.body
Hehe I have twin fantasy playing in the background rn

# data[].attributes.body
I think I would like to travel back to the Early Modernist period in Europe. Life was changing, incredibly quickly. I think it would have been an exciting time to be living in. I would be a tourist and only visit as I would not be keen to stick around for WWII and its' aftermath.

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah there were so many cool things going on then, especially in the art world. But also lots of not-so good things... Ah well a quick trip would still be fun

# data[].attributes.body
I'm very mixed-media, I will use anything from gouache to textiles to clay. I really like using repurposed or natural materials and seeing what I can make them into!

# data[].attributes.body
Also mixed media. Gouche is cool. I've been playing with gelli-plates recently. Very quick and fun medium to work with.

# data[].attributes.body
Niceeeee, one of my year 11 art internals I did was about print making, so we got to use a bunch of cool things like gelli-plates!

# data[].attributes.body
this year i'm taking painting, photography, fabrics, art history and bio :) i'm picking up photo and art history this year for the first time because i had clashes with stats and media

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
The Second sex by Simone de Beauvoir - such a great read, its very heavy but it's so well written, and is very informative.. it's a beautifully written feminist piece. It was written in 1949.

Simone de Beauvoir is also seen as one of the leaders of the existentialist movement!
