The Maori World of Art

Here is a quick snapshot of some of the art being created in Room 10 this term. We have used the ate Ara Tika process to research about Poupou and the special meaning behind them and the symbols they contain.

It is great that children have a choice about the medium they can use to present their art. They have total control over the process.
