My Kowhaiwhai Pattern

My Kowhaiwhai Pattern
By Lily


Last term in He Kakano we started painting
kowhaiwhai and their meanings. Kowhaiwhai are
a Traditional Maori pattern. We all had to create a
piece of artwork that showed at least one
kowhaiwhai pattern. This is what I made.  

The purple diamond shapes are myself,
with my wild personality. The green diamonds inside the purple ones is my
heart inside of all of my wacky personality.
The blue swirls are my family supporting me
for whatever I do. The pink and yellow triangles
are my challenges, they are always there but I
have to work my way through them.
I made this design to show my family
and I and how me might have some challenges but we will always get through them together.

  2. Hi Lily, My name is Samantha. I am a student in room 6 at Gisborne Intermediate School. I really like your Kowhaiwhai Pattern. I liked how you explained what the patterns and colors stand for. You could work on making the text smaller. If you would like to see my learning, my blog is http://gisintsamanthag.blogspot.co.nz.
