Today I have completed another summer learning journey activity. This activity started off with finding out what the word "Tanerore" meant. (Meaning from Maori Dictionary) Tanerore means "heat haze - shimmering in the air near the ground of a hot day". We then started with the next part of this activity - creating our own Kowhaiwhai pattern. For my design we had a template that we could use to help with our designs. We were allowed to choose how the design was rotated, shaped etc. So I used the koru's and rotated them so that they would be in a shape of a heart, I got the inspiration from one of my previous kowhaiwhai patterns. I also went with the theme of summer. The koru's represent growth, strength and peace, and the hearts represent affection. I'm proud of my design and I really enjoyed creating it.
Kia ora Florence,
ReplyDeleteI loved your deign! It looks fabulous. I liked how you have added a blurb that tells the beautiful meaning of your kowhaiwhai pattern as it helps the reader understand more about the topic. The thing I liked the most is that you have added a colour combination of three colours which go really well with each other. Do you know what a kowhaiwhai pattern is? Can you explain it in five words?
Keep up the great work! I am looking forward for your reply.

What a fantastic kowhaiwhai! You’ve done such a fabulous job rotating the koru into heart shapes, and I love the colours you have chosen to make your artwork. Ka pai! I also really love how you’ve explained what the koru represent, and how you’ve added to this representation by combining it with the shape of a heart to add affection!
Was it hard to make? How did you work out your design?
Because you’ve done such an incredible job, I’m marking it down as an outstanding blog post for some extra points!
Keep up the incredible work and happy blogging!
Ka kite anō,
