Kowhaiwhai pattern

LI: To create a kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer



Today I learnt that when it is very hot and the air is shimmering Tānerore performs the haka for his mother, Hine-Raumati. This happens in summer as the land heats up. Our challenge was to think about this while we designed our own kowhaiwhai pattern to represent summer. My pattern shows a boat going out of the safe zone to fish and get food.

  1. Kia ora Vayan,

    What an awesome kowhaiwhai! I love the contrast between the red and the black. I think your pattern also has such a great meaning. I hope you enjoyed this task!

    I love hearing about different Māori myths and legends. My favourite is about Māui slowing the sun. What is your favourite?

    I look forward to seeing more of your work!

    Mā te wā,

    Charlotte
