Toss woollaston

In rm 8 we have been studying people who have made a difference. Here is some facts of one of them.

==Life==

Born in [[Toko]], [[Taranaki Region|Taranaki]] in 1910, Woollaston studied art at the [[University of Canterbury|Canterbury School of Art]] in [[Christchurch]]. He became interested in [[modernism]] after moving to [[Dunedin]] to study with R N Field.

In 1934 he settled at Mapua, near [[Nelson, New Zealand|Nelson]], and married Edith Alexander two years later. You suck who. Evers reading thisThey became part of a circle of local artists and writers which included [[Colin McCahon]]. After [[World War II]] the Woollastons moved to [[Greymouth]], and the landscape of the [[West Coast, New Zealand|West Coast]] became a major feature in his art.

It was only from the 1960s that Woollaston was able to paint full-time; previously he had taken numerous part time jobs to support himself and his family.

As well as painting, Woollaston wrote, poetry in particular having been a lifelong passion. His books included ''The Far-away Hills'' in 1960, and ''Sage Tea'' (his autobiography) in 1980.

He was made a [[Knight Bachelor]] in 1979, being the first New Zealander to be knighted for his services to art ([[Peter Siddell]] being the second).

His son [[Philip Woollaston]] was the (Labour) Member of Parliament for [[Nelson (New Zealand electorate)|Nelson]] from 1981 to 1990.

Motivating pictures

Here I was just walking threw the forest tacking pictures of trees and plants that I liked. Then I herd a gigantic noise. So I ran around the corner and I saw a humongous avalanche. Then I ran as fast as I could and I just didn't want to ever stop. I finally saw somebody. I thought it couldn't be true and it wasn't two seconds later he got wiped out bye the avalanche. I thought my life was over but then suddenly the avalanche stopped and I was still alive. I was relieved and even better I saw my van. So then I got out of there and drove home.

Couplets

It is blank.

Now there's a plank.

The man got in a rocket.

And he has a apple in his pocket.

If a ball pops.

It stops.

A baker.

Is a maker.

You look.

At a book.

Dam that grumpy old bee.

Soon I'm going to stuff it in the tree.

I gave my bunny a carrot.

But he through it back at my parrot.

I went to Japan.

My mum gave me her pan.

I'm in a bar.

Then my dad said tweet tweet stupid little star.

I had tea on a plate.

And so did my mate.

My life was great.

But now I'm living in a crate.
