Our creation - maunga art

This term, we have also been doing our own maunga art - created by one person. These were again made by chalk and pastel. Although, this time, we had to draw a real maunga - instead of a fiction one.

These maunga have used a range of different colours, and many unique designs, one of which has a river running down from the eyes. The backgrounds of these maunga were either night or day; some even had one rising, and the other setting!
Some maunga that people had used were Taranaki, Hurupaki, Parahaki and Mania.

These maunga were once again inspired from the illustrations in the book:
"Battle Of The Mountains."

  2. Maunga means 'mountain'. These artworks are fab-u-lous, so bright and vibrant. Everyone worked so hard on these, carefully creating and colouring to produce amazing artworks.
