Our Maunga Art

Through the past few weeks, Pod 10, 8 and 9 have been doing maunga art using chalk and pastel  These maunga are truly masterpieces. These maunga can be seen on the walls of the school hall.

We worked in groups of 3.  First we had to 'tutu' and try different ways to make maori designs. Then we used chalk to draw the outlines and details to form the maunga's face.


Next, we talked together in our groups about the shapes; would they be bold, smudged or even thin?

Soon we were all starting to colour in our shapes on the face of our maunga. We talked about what colours to use in our group.









Soon, we were colouring in all of the background, and moving on to doing the sky.









After a while, we had a break to show all of our maunga, and walk around to take a look.
Look at our finished maunga! don't they look wonderful!
Now we are planning for our maunga legend stories.

Look at us writing! These stories are going great!!
