Our current objective in art is to research and learn about subversion in art using methods like thumbnail sketches. Art is supposed to challenge the art constructs and make people think and question things. However, some people do not appreciate having their views challenged and so they get angry. If art does not challenge them tough, they will get bored of your art. Within Tracey's work, the act of subversion is shown in the process of painting over a newspaper written in English. Tracey is a Maori artist so by doing this it is almost as if she is trying to cover up the English part of New Zealand. She doesn't make much of an attempt to hide the fact that she is doing it over something is that sometimes she'll let things like words show through. When she paints she uses Maori patterns as if to say that the country should belong to the Maori more than the British. Newspaper is also not really a permanent canvas and is not designed to be painted on.
Art is meant to be subverted, that's the reason for it, a basis for its existence, even when it comes to the painting of flowers, it is the pure expression of a subjective interpretation of the world. it didn't come into existence to make people happy necessarily, art was born to educate and challenge, inform and inspire, and sometimes, outrage. Great art has been instrumental in pushing the world forward, and it is always met with resistance. The general public is at least 10 years behind the subversive artist. if the majority of people like your work, you're doing something wrong. if they hate it, chances are you are doing something that challenges common perception something important and different and it will take years for the zeitgeist to catch up. Art can use subversion in many ways. Tawhaio wants to subvert the colonization of Maori culture to keep Maori alive and existing on a more equal basis with the colonizing European culture. Her idea is normal to be Maori in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Here are some drawings I have done. One is a thumbnail sketch and the other one is kind of like her work but different but you know what I love it the way it is.

Dork Diary
That she lost her diary and now she can not find it anywhere she has looked and looked for it but it just can’t be seen anywhere she gets people to help find it, but the problem is that it has fallen out of her front pocket of her bag, so she is also thinking someone else has picked it up and has got it somewhere else so that she can’t find it and she doesn’t know who has picked it up. By the sounds of it, she thinks she knows who has her book she has searched for it far and low she thinks Mackenzie has it for when she went into the toilet to cry she bumped into her and she said that she will search for her diary far and low. Because Mackenzie knew that her diary was missing, But here this is what Mackenzie said I’M GOING TO SEARCH THIS ENTIRE SCHOOL UNTIL I FIND YOUR DIARY. AND WHEN I DO YOU WILL BE SORRY. The 3 girls have gone into the boy’s locker room while they are training for football and they went searching for a particular bag and they found it inside the boy’s locker room so they went through it to see if that bag has her diary in it but when one of the girls put her hand in the bag they thought it was in there but it was another book. Finally, I have finished the book and they finally found her diary and guess who had it her little sister took it to school for show and tell and her little sister said that all the kids loved the funny pictures in her diary.
What is the text about? The lost diary Nikki Maxwell has been writing in a diary since the start of the school year, and she usually takes it everywhere she goes. so she can't believe it when one morning she can't find her diary! The hunt is on, and while she looks, pursuing various theories about where it could be, with help of her besties Chloe and Zoey.
Why am I reading this text to get to know about the whole entire book?
