Marne Nortier, \u2019n derdejaar-onderwysstudent aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch, wil \u201cAfrika se ware storie\u201d graag met haar kuns vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 20-jarige, wat in Durbanville grootgeword het, vertel sy het van jongs af aanklank by \u2019n verfkwas, potlood en skilderdoek gevind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gelukkig het haar ouers haar potensiaal as kunstenaar op \u2019n jong ouderdom reeds raakgesien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het van jongs af al begin skets en verf, en op vierjarige ouderdom het ek met kunsklasse begin. My ouers kon natuurlik my potensiaal raaksien en hulle het my nog altyd gemotiveer om dit [skilder] te doen \u2013 veral my ma.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Nortier het sy as ho\u00ebrskoolleerder besef sy wil eendag \u2019n kunsonderwyser word, omdat leerders di\u00e9 vak nie noodwendig as belangrik of waardevol beskou nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToe ek op laerskool was, was kuns altyd vir my die lekkerste. Ek dink dis omdat ek \u2019n visuele leerder is; ek moes altyd eers prentjies sien voordat ek kon verstaan. Oor die algemeen dink ek kuns word in skole afgeskeep; dis asof wiskunde altyd meer prioriteit geniet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nortier glo sy kan met kuns veral visuele leerders help om nie net kuns te bemeester nie, maar ook vakke soos wiskunde en wetenskap \u2013 deur kuns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSmiles of Africa\u201d, die tema waaronder Nortier skilder, is ge\u00efnspireer deur uitreike van haar kerk in dele van Afrika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het in 2019 met die uitreike van ons kerk baie foto\u2019s geneem \u2013 veral foto\u2019s van kinders wat glimlag,\u201d vertel sy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDieselfde jaar moes ons toe \u2019n kunstaak doen met Afrika as die tema. Ek het toe di\u00e9 foto\u2019s as konsep vir my sketse gebruik. Dit is t\u00f3\u00e9 dat ek my spesifieke kunsstyl ontdek het.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nortier sou graag eendag haar werk met die w\u00eareld wil deel en terselfdertyd ook help om die wanopvattings oor Afrika te bekamp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie hoof-boodskap wat ek wil oordra, is die rou emosie en storie van Afrika. Ek wens mense kon die mooi in hierdie kinders se eenvoudige lewe sien,\u201d deel Nortier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoewel hierdie kinders deur moeilike omstandighede gaan, glimlag hulle steeds. Ek wens ook dat mense oor die w\u00eareld heen dit eendag kan sien. Ons mense het steeds hoop, en dit is te sien in die o\u00eb en glimlag van hierdie kinders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
