For CookIsland Languaege week we got to try out and design our own Tivaevae.

This is my design, it represents a turtle in the middle inside a flower with a hook on each side, the reason each side looks the same is because when making your tivaevae you always have to make sure it is simitrical, it also has coconuts as coconuts were the first thing to come to my mind when thinking about the CookIsland, in my opinion I think I did really well to represent the CookIsland culture in my tivaevae.

I enjoyed this task and think it was a really cool idea to make learning about culture fun.

LI: make a pattern for Samoan language week.

Our task was to create a pattern for Samoan Language Week which is called Samoan Hand Tatau, we got to find designs to put on our hand, for my hand I chose to represent my mum, dad, sisters and brother, they all got their own figer. then I found a patern which means to protect, I decided to put the protection design in the middle therefore all of my family members could connect to it, this would show that all my family are protected, then at the bottom of my hand you can see a harakeke, this symbolize me and my family growing together.

I enjoyed my task as it was a bit challenging but at the end I got to share a peace of work which has a deep meaning to it and me.

LI: to create and use our creativity to make a taniwha which presents our name.

This week LS2 got to create a taniwha which represented our names, I chose to make a purple colourful taniwha, to do this I got to scearch up ideas, I found many but none really got my attention so I looked at other taniwhas what my friends were making, everybody had really beutiuful taniwhas and I got many idea, these ideas made my taniwha look awsome.

I really enjoyed this task because art is my favourite subject.

LI: To use different types of warm and cool colours to recreate a world-known painting from Van Gogh.

This week’s art is about Van Gogh and his famous art piece “The Starry Night”. The Class was divided into 2 groups of 16 people, 1 of each group remade “The Starry Night” in warm colours and cool colours digitally.Each group divided 16 pieces of the Starry Night with each person in the group. Working as a collaborative team we gathered all or pieces to 1 DLO to finally reach our desired outcome.

I found this activity Joyful because it was a fun collaborating with different people but it was also interesting to see how our work would look like when put together in the end.

LI:to learn and picture the legends of the Taniwha creature

This week LS2 have been doing Taniwha art to represent our panmure basin because people say that some of the Taniwhas live in our panmure basin, and because we wanted to represent a Taniwha called Moko Ika Hika Waru, The Taniwha Moko Ika Hika Waru was described to have eight tails. The Taniwha is a Maori creature/legend that Maori believed to hide in the rivers, some Taniwha were also belived to abduct women.

I enjoyed this activity bacuse I got to learn more about the Taniwha Moko Ika Hika Waru, but it was hard to look at diffrent Taniwhas to see what details I could add to me and my groups Taniwha art.

I created a digital whale tail and a non whale tail.

First I made a digital whale tail. I drew mine about the food that the whales eat so I drew fish, then I colour it in blue, and drew the holes that help whales breathe, I made it like that  because it can also teach people about whales.

Then when I made my non digital, I drew fish and coloured them in grey,yellow and orange, then I drew two waves to represent what whales swim in.

Lastly I made the background blue because it shows what colour most whales are.

I enjoyed this task because it helped me get better at coloring, but I need too improve blending it in.
