Tuakana Teina

This Wednesday, Rm 2 worked along with LS2 students for Tuakana Teina and created an artwork dedicated towards Maori Language week. Tuakana Tiena at our school is a time when senior students help the juniors through learning. This is good for us as we could contribute to learning in an exciting way with younger students while being leaders, and also appreciating the Maori culture for this week. My partner, Luna worked really well together to come up with some creative design patterns for our panel. The goal was to encourage the younger students to do most of the work and get them out of their comfort zone to be able to try new things with their learning. The art we created was drawn with chalk on black cardstock paper and overlined with twin rope to almost accentuate and bring out the detail of our designs of our string art panels. I really enjoyed helping my partner create her art and of course working collaboratively with Luna.
