Hey Readers!
It's day two for me for the Summer Learning Journey, today I choose to do Tānerore, it did take me a while to choose but I got there in the end. As I said yesterday I have three steps to complete the activity, they are learn, create and share! For the first step learn I read a story called who is Tānerore, in the story it talked about haka and Tānerore's mother and how he does the haka. Once I finished reading the story I watched video of a haka and I had to try find the wiriwiri which is a trembling hand. I did find the trembling hand, do you want to find it? Here is the link for you to watch the video: Tanerore. After that I learn't how to draw kowhaiwhai by watching a video, the details made the drawings stand out really well which was good. The video had different types of kowhaiwhai, my Favorite one was the hammer head shark because it really looked like one and the koru's were beautiful on the drawing. Here is the video if you really want to watch it: Kowhaiwhai.
Create was the second step, I needed to create my very own kowhaiwhai I could draw it on paper or use a template. I choose to draw on paper because doing it on my chrome seemed very complicated but maybe next time I could challenge myself into trying something new. I got my pencil and drawing book and I begun the drawing I looked back at the video to get a some inspiration for my drawing. The first one I did I didn't really like it but then I started persisting and tried again I finished but I still didn't like it so I made a new one. Once I finished my second one I fixed it up and then rubbed some out and fixed it up agian. As I finally finish my kowhaiwhai up I feel relieved and took a photo. What is my meaning of my kowhaiwhai? My meaning of my kowhaiwhai is love and family it shows how family means alot to everyone ad you need lots of love in life to survive. Lastly share all I need to do is blog so here is my blog post.
Have you ever learn't about a kowhaiwhai?

ReplyDeleteTumeke! Awesome! Thank you for sharing this post on your blog. You have done a great job in your description at introducing the activity and talking about the steps you took to achieve it. I really enjoyed reading this because you explained things in detail which made it easy for me to read and follow. You also added in the links for other bloggers to visit which is such a thoughtful thing to do for anyone else who might be interested in learning about Tanerore.
I would have to agree with you when you said “You need lots of love in life to survive” because it is true and one thing that makes me feel loved is family which is also the meaning behind your kowhaiwhai. Considering it is Christmas soon you could think about doing some drawings for your family members, framing them and gifting them as presents, just an idea.
As for learning about kowhaiwhai, when i was in year 9 at school my art teacher use to teach us about the history of kowhaiwhai and i really enjoyed the different meanings about the different patterns and what they represent.
Keep up the good work. I look forward to hearing back from you in the comment section below and seeing more posts on your blog.

ReplyDeleteIt's Jordan here from South Hornby School, thank you very much for choosing to comment on my post. Thank you for the christmas gift idea I will think about doing it for my family. It's quite awesome that we had both learn't about kowhaiwhai before. I'm glad you liked my blurb and thought that it was detailed. What is your favorite type of art to do? Mine is dot art because it is really relaxing and it turns out really amazing! I hope to see a reply soon and more comments coming.
