Week 4: Protect and preserve
Day 1: Preserving the past
Activity 1: World of Wearable (Wow) Art

The idea of reusing materials was taken to a whole new level by a woman named Dame
Suzie Moncrieff who, thirty years ago, created an event in New Zealand called the ‘World
of Wearable Art’ (WOW). WOW takes place in Wellington (and in other cities) every year.
Artists from around the world create outfits made entirely from recycled materials.

Let’s imagine that you were invited to this year’s WOW awards and you were able to
interview the creator. On your blog, list five interview questions that you would like to
ask Dame Suzie Moncrieff.

Kia ora Dame Suzie Moncrieff,

I would like to ask a few question about you and your life.  Here they are!

#1:What’s it like being famous? I’ve never met anyone famous before. Well, I think of my
family as famous, but in my own way. I bet it could be a bit stressful and a little annoying.

#2: Do you sell your creations? I would definitely sell my creations, especially if someone really likes or enjoys it, wouldn’t you think? I would probably have to test it our first just in cause they might want a refund.

 #3: Do you sell the creations you really like? Let say for instance if you really like a piece of clothing you made would you sell it or, keep it for yourself? I’m not to sure on what I would do, although I do have lots of clothes myself.

 #4: When did you first start making outfits? Were you looking at making outfits when you were young or when you got a little older? I love to draw and I have been thinking of trying to make my own outfits.

#5: Why did you decide to put your mind on designing your own outfits? If you don’t know
what I mean, here’s what i’m trying to say. So why did you commit and put your mind on
designing your own outfits? You probably just loved and enjoyed doing it right?
