Kete Aronui

During Term 2 we have been preparing for the Hamilton East School Arts Festival to be held in Term 3. Our Takahe hub (rooms 19 & 20) have completed three pieces of art each over the term. The students worked in three groups with one teacher, and then rotated every three weeks. As we have 60 students, we have been extremely lucky to have Tisharne, a student teacher take one of the groups. 

 Miss Rasmussen worked with students using pastel to complete whānau koru, a representation of each student's own family.


Tisharne worked with students to create patterns and Māori designs which were illustrated on stars, representing Matariki.




Mrs Tyler taught students how to weave in a circular design, taking into consideration the colours and patterns which would be used.






We look forward to seeing you at the Art Festival in Term 3!

    Your whānau koru is really gorgeous. We love the vibrant colours. Where did you get your inspiration from? What do you think it will look like if you had used white or black to support the patterns.

    We really like the stars because it really looks interesting because of the design.

    We think that your koru work is really good and we like how you weaved with string in a circle. Felon-Marie & Charlize.
