This week some of the seniors in the school came into my class to do some art I got to help. This is an image of Matariki. She is the mother of the six sister's in a Maori myth about star patterns we searched the image from the web. We transferred it on to the star we were asked to paint it for the Matariki Festival we painted it with acrylic paint. We needed to be very careful. This is the star painted by the senior students in Piwakawaka and Kereru. We had to make boat baskets to we had to make them out of flax. We had to use them for a sausage sizzles.
The matariki art was neat Zak. they all looked good when they were finished. Did you enjoy making the basket? There were so many of them after everyone made one.
