Matariki designs

To celebrate Matariki,our class are working on an art project. Matariki signifies the new year for Moari people. If you loo into the night sky on a clear night around June or may you might find Matariki. My top third are 6 korus. This third represents new growth. The korus represent my famil tree. The first 2 korus are my parents and the next four are me, my brother, my sister and my fish.

 Now for the middle section. The 5 korus represent me and my family in a boat meaning we stay together. The lines represent my favorite things. The first line is my iPod, the second line is football, the third line is cricket and the fourth line is my best friend.

 Matariki is the third and final section of this panel. For this section I've chosen a Maori kowhaiwhai that you would see in a marae. This is not just a pattern, it signatures new year and new beginning. So that's my Matariki panel. I hope that you have learnt something from this and remember to set your alarm clock early to catch Matariki.
