Kia Ora in Te Ngahere we turned our pepeha into art. Now you may be asking how we did this. The first thing that we did is that the teachers gave us a A4 piece of paper and we wrote down our Maunga, Awa, Waka, Marae and we had one space left so we got to choose if we put in our Hapu, whanau name or our Iwi. Once we finished our practice copy we had to draw a simple line drawing to the top of all of them. Then once we had finished whaea Chrissy held some watercolor lessons and we used different brush sizes to experiment different techniques. Once we had finished watercoloring we used a vivid to go over our pencil drawings and words. Then we got our good copy and used water color to color our drawings. On the first one we colored the whole thing but for the rest we only done the line drawing and under. Next we cut out the white pieces on all of them except the first one and glued the squares to a black piece of paper to make the colors pop. I enjoyed this so much because I love art, the process was so fun and the finished product was amazing.
Do you know your pepeha or know what a pepeha is???
