This year as our parting koha for Pt England School we have designed and painted our own kowhaiwhai. These will be mounted permanently as our koha as Year 8 of 2018. I've called my artwork 'Ko Au' - 'Me'. It has symbols that represent my Family, Myself and Also GOD.
The steps I took to produce this are :
1. Practising our Kowhaiwhai
2. Sketching/Drawing Korus
3. Darkening on Wood
4. Painting
5. Outlining product with Black Marker
6. Varnish product
When we were painting our boards we had to be extra careful. Trying not to smudge the paint was hard enough. It has been a fun journey Sketching/Drawing our product to actually painting it. I hope that these paintings will become memories to Pt England School forever.
