Friday Fun Challenge - Friday 1st May 2020

Today's Challenge: Auckland's Big Rail Project (Art!)

You are to create a 10cm by 10cm tile design for Auckland City Rail Link! Your task is to create a picture of where you would like to go by train, once the underground railway is built. Your journey could be anywhere - taking the train down the road from your home to the local dairy, or heading off into outer space, or anywhere you like in between. Your tile design will be fired onto ceramic tiles and used to decorate Auckland's new City Rail Link Aotea underground station. How cool is that?! You will be contributing to New Zealand's BIGGEST art project!

Watch the video below to see the plan:


Please follow the guidelines below, when creating your tile design:

  • You can use paints, crayons, pencils or pastels
  • Your artwork needs to be square shaped as it will be printed onto 10cm x 10cm tiles to be built into the station. 
  • Artwork can either be scanned or photographed and sent by email to art@cityraillink.govt.nz
  • Artwork should also include the artist’s name, their age and school they go to
  • If possible, City Rail Link Ltd would love to receive short videos of tamariki holding up their art and explaining what they have drawn so that it can be shared on CRL’s social media channels and website
  • More information can be found at www.cityraillink.co.nz/resources-for-students-teachers-city-rail-link

  2. That's good to hear, Kiran. Have you created a tile design yet? If so, feel free to share it with us by posting it to your blog. Remember to follow the instructions above if you want to send it to city rail link to go inside the new station!
