Festival of the arts

Lo: To draw whakaahua for kowhatu toi. 

For festival of the arts I'm doing Kowhatu Toi and we are making stones and paint a Maori design on it.

Koru - the Koru is  a fern plant that  means peace and life to you, strength, and  represents a new life.

        For kowhatu toi we have to get three rocks and paint it white before drawing on the rocks.

               Paint the rocks about three times a coat and do on the other side make sure you paint the           holes  that you can see.

I have learned what Koru,Niho taniwha,mangopare,Ritorito,Raperape,Manawa and Puhoro means and what they do.
