Matariki Blog
Matariki is a time to acknowledge the dead and to release their spirits to become stars. It was also a time to reflect, to be thankful to the gods for the harvest, to feast and to share the bounty of the harvest with family and friends.
For Art, we have been making a collaborative Matariki Star.
First, we draw the designs on a star shaped piece of paper.
Then you sketched your design on the diamond shaped foam.
Next I poked holes in the foam.
Then connected the holes up so it has a out line up.
Then you get it printed with ink using a roller and push it on some paper to get your design. My one was some koru’s on the side of the diamond shaped foam. It was fun.
