Koru Art

This week, we are celebrating te reo Maori me nga tikanga, that is Maori language and culture.  


To begin our week, we created pieces of KORU Art. In Maori culture, the koru (typically seen on a fern frond) symbolises new life and growth.


We used the art techniques of silhouette and and symmetry.  Don't the finished pieces look stunning!


How do you celebrate native cultures in your class?
What pieces of art have you completed recently?
