1. Ruth talked us through making it.
2. We penciled it out.
3. Added korus.
4. Put in the hand of our whakairo, something that said 'us'. E.G Someone who likes soccer, they would put a soccer ball.
5. Then we outlined it with Black or brown pastel.
6. Finally we dyed our Whakairo red or brown.
Our second creation, is still at work. It is a Kowhaiwhai panel patten. Before we dye or paint it, we designed it in our design and art book. We then experimented to see if we would like to pastel, dye, water-colour or paint it. We did this by drawing our design, and then moved from table to table. Each table had either Paint, dye... Here are our Whakairo.
Watch our blog to see our finished Kowhaiwhai panels.
