In He Kākano this term, we have been learning about different kowhaiwhai
patterns and their meaning. First we had to do some practise patterns and
when we felt confident we started drawing some ideas. It took us a while to
figure out whatwe wanted to do but after quite a few sessions we came up
with our pattern.
The meaning behind our pattern is that the koru symbolizes friendship this
includes the red koru heart. The white shapes symbolize abundance. The meaning
behind thissymbol in Māori means a large quantity of something. So overall our
pattern means a large quantity of friendship and love. We chose the colours red,
white, black and green because we wanted to keep the colours close to the original
colours that were mainly used in Māori art.

Hi Phoebe,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Amelia and I am a year 7 student in Lh6 at Gisborne Intermediate. I like the artwork you have put at the bottom of the post and how you have explained what you have done in class. i think that next time you can change the color of your writing so that it is all the same color. I think that you could also improve it by making sure that the words don't go off the side of the page but overall it is a really good post. If you would like to visit my blog it is https://gisintameliag.blogspot.com/. Good job.
Bonjour Phoebe,

Hello Milan and Phoebe,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mr Norris, for LH6 at Gisborne Intermediate School.
You Kowhaiwhai art work is awesome! I love the colour choices and especially how you've both explained what each kowhaiwhai pattern symbolises and means. In class, we will be doing this soon. It's a good way for all students to tell their story through Māori art work using kowhaiwhai patterns and symbols to express it. Well done;) 😎👍🙌
