Today I was doing the summer learning journey task for today. I learned about Tānerore and Tama-nui-te-ra. Tānerore is the son of Tama-nui-te-ra, You can only see him when it's a really hot day and there is something moving in the distance. That is him, you can also see Tānerore when a group of people is doing kapa haka and their hands are doing the wiriwiri, a hand movement.
Today's task was to either draw a Kowhaiwhai or do it online using google drawing. I drew mine and coloured it but it doesn't look right with the colours and I used colour pencils to colour it so it doesn't pop. Here is my picture.
Kia Ora Selina,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Zana and I am a blog commenter from the Summer Learning Journey, it is awesome to see your first post of the summer and I look forward to seeing more as you continue blogging!
I thought this activity was very interesting as it teaches you about Tānerore who you are able to see often on these hot summer days and about the infamous kowhaiwhai pattern seen throughout Māori culture. Your introduction and explanation of the activity is well written and you explain who Tānerore is well. I think your kowhaiwhai looks beautiful and I think it looks good with the colors. Unfortunately though the colors do not show too well in the photo, could you let me know what colors you used and why you chose those colors?
Have you seen the kowhaiwhai pattern before? They can often be seen in Maraes or maybe at a museum. I remember having kowhaiwhai patterns painted around the beams in my classroom at school.
Keep up the great work and I hope to see more of your posts over the summer.
Ngā mihi nui,

Kia ora Selina,
ReplyDeleteI can see that you have put a lot of effort into drawing the kowhaiwhai pattern.
I liked the way you described where it came from. I have got pungas growing in our garden and I love looking at the koru as they grow.
Looking forward to reading more blog posts from you over the summer.
