Te Tuhi Trip 2

Hi today we went to Te Tuhi to do some art based on our turangawaewae ( A place to stand or to call home).We drew four different things our Home,Family, Stories and culture.For home I drew a Marae because our ancestors used them for meetings or funerals,For family I did two different things and they were the diamond pattern and a kuru wai pattern.I used these two because the kuru wai represents my maori side and the diamond in the pacific represent the generations in your family.For my story I choose maui and the sun because I heard it a lot growing up and it has grown on me from a little age.And for culture I used love hearts and because I love the pacific and where I am from (New Zealand and the Cook Islands) and blobs that look like hills because to me they are some of the island's hidden under water all over the world.
