Kowhatu Toi

Stone Art!

For the past week so far, the year 7's and year 8's have been doing an arts Kete.

I got put in stone art (because I wasn't at school when we got to choose what we wanted to be in but that's ok).

Yesterday in stone art I Learn't about the Puhoro ,and the MangoPare (MangoPare  represents the Hammer Head Shark).

Here's some photos I got of me drawing the Puhoro, Mangopare, RitoRito, The Koru, and the Niho Taniwha, 

Hope you like them.   

Here's the Koru art

I like the top left side of the koru design I drew. I am very proud of it!.

another drawing i done with Koru's

I'm proud of myself for this one. It looks pretty cool!.

The Niho Taniwha

 

I think I could do better next time. 

Here's the Mangopare

I sort of stuffed up but its not bad for my first time drawing this form.

Here's RitoRito

(The RitoRito in this picture is the type of triangles in the spiral).

pretty COOL I done well for this one!

Last but not least the Puhoro

Not exact what it looks like but I think i was close.

Whea Mel gave us Work books so me and the rest of the group who is also in stone art can do all this practicing of the art we want to do on the Stones. ;)

So far I think there pretty good this is all to practice for before we start drawing what Maori form drawings on the stones ( that we want to draw ).

If you think my drawings are pretty good thank you. I think I could do better when I practice them more but I should be good maybe, maybe not who knows until I have finished what I decide to draw on my stones. :)
