Matariki Blog 

 

Matariki is a time to acknowledge the dead and to release their spirits to become stars. It was also a time to reflect, to be thankful to the gods for the harvest, to feast and to share the bounty of the harvest with family and friends.

For Art, we have been making a collaborative Matariki Star.

First, we sketched our design on a diamond shaped piece of paper.

 After that we drew our design in felt pen and poked holes on the piece we drew in the lines we poked.

Finally we painted on the foam pieces and put it on paper and it made the star.
