Passion Project - Stone Art

Today I have researched Maori Patterns and learned a lot of meaning behind the art.
 For instance the koru, the koru means "new life growth, rebirth a deep connection to the earth."
another example is Moana (the sea). It means "water harmony with the forces of nature.
So far I have drawn 2 drawings but I'm not finished.




Today last period I had to curve my koru design like a tennis ball then carve the spiral so it could look neat. lastly, I had to carve the side to make it have a shadow.

  1. Hello Marino!

    You have really impressed me with your hard work in class and in the workshops. It is excellent to see some of our senior students really showing what creative excellence can look like.

    I like how you explained what shapes you are drawing and what they mean. I look forward to seeing your annotated sketch and plan for the large pieces we will create for our kura.

    Well done!
