Our Kowhaiwhai Artwork
By Billie & Hannah
This year in He Kakano we have been learning about Kowhaiwhai patterns and our challenge was to design and create our own Kowhaiwhai pattern. Before we could paint on a canvas, we had to practice what we were going to paint. We chose to do a very modern design with a 3D aspect. We are very happy with how our artwork turned out.
The top pattern means strength, to be strong when things are hard and to be strong when you believe in yourself. The bottom one means to be strong for other people when things are hard for them, and can also mean journey.
The design with the diamonds stands for everyone being different and who you are. Is means everyone has a different body shape, personality, looks and the way that you do things.
The pattern in the middle with the flower means flourishing life. Things are going well and the environment around you is doing well. Above with the koru means family and friends or the people you are close with.
This design with the rectangles means that you accomplish new challenges and skills and they stay with you for the rest of your life.
