Description

In the THREE weeks of 4.1 in preparation for 4.2 the students will research a Māori Artist.  Students will be encouraged to choose a Māori Artist and create an artwork similar or inspired by them. 

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.”  - Oscar Wilde

We will continue to learn to make our own: 

  • Whakairo/Carving drawings – ongoing
  • Grid art – ongoing
  • Ngā Toi a Iwi/Tribal Arts - ongoing

Students will continue to learn the tikanga (culture) behind the art forms and the reo (language) as we go.  I hope students will also look into their own whakapapa/geneology and find other cultures they belong to.

Term 4 student will be expected to research: 

  • Māori Artists
  • Ngā Toi a Iwi/Tribal Arts
