Term 3 Koru Art

Towards the end of Term 3 we integrated three areas of learning -
Geometry, knowledge of Maori Legends and Visual Arts.
*Our aim was to create a piece of art using koru motifs to
create an overall pattern.
*We first explored and drew koru shapes and kowhaiwhai patterns,
then chose one shape and used this to make a paper transfer.
*Using the paper transfer, we transformed the shape to show our
understanding of translation, reflection and rotation.This created a tile pattern on the 12 squares.
*After creating the outline of the tile pattern, we chose which
parts to make positive and negative spaces by colouring in with
a black vivid pen.
*The last part was to think about which dye colours to use to
create patterns within patterns.
*When you look at the final pieces of art, see if you can find...
warm colours, cool colours, block colours, blended colours
AND
lines of patterns, chequered patterns, repeating patterns
*Enjoy viewing the process of our art creations.

Thank you for viewing our blog. We look forward to reading your feedback.
