Kaitiakitanga.

( WALT ) Whainga paetae : I know why being a kaitiaki is so important to me. 


Kia ora ko Aeisha toku ingoa.

Today I am going to be talking about my kaitiakitanga art. 

A couple of weeks ago, Whaea lee wasn't able to make it to school, so whaea Ariana came into relieve. 

When whaea Ariana came, we did these beautiful art. The art was a MokoMoko I think, Whaea Ariana showed us different ways to colour it, and then we got colours that mean alot to us. The colours I choose was red, green, black, brown, and blue. I chose these colours because some of them were the gods colours.  The green represented Papatuanuku. The red represented tumatauenga. 

The brown represented taane mahuta, And the blue                                                                                             represented tangaroa and tawhirimatea.

                                                                                         The face might look a little silly, But I just wanted                                                                                              to do something different. 

Mangopare.

Kia ora ko Aeisha tooku ingoa this is my mahi toi. I did this art with our reliever Whaea Ariana.
She comes in sometimes when Whaea Lee isn’t coming into school for the day. 

I called my art Ruuaumoko because there is a lot of red, orange and yellow. 

The blue represents Tangaroa and Tawhirimatea. 

Tangaroa is the god of the oceans, sea and water. 

Tawhirimatea is the god of wind. 

The orange background represents Tūmatauenga.

Yesterday my class Te Puna Wairua started on tukutuku panels.
Tukutuku Panels are a design that is important to maori, Tukutuku is a ornamental weaving, it is mainly used to adore the walls in a wharenui. also tukutuku were used to help tell stories. The design I did was Aoraki, which is a maunga that Matua Andre is from.
The blue represents Tangaroa.
The green represents Papatuanuku.
The brown squares underneath represent Taane Mahuta.
