Our Koru Texture Designs

This term Whio class have been learning about the Maori and their culture, so in art we have decided to try different textures to create our Koru patterns. Here are some examples of our work.

    The koru is the symbol of new life so it was good to see that some students used recycled materials. New life for what usually gets thrown away. Well done guys!

    You must be very proud of your wonderful work. I hope that you enjoy finding the koru pattern in ferns in the bush, as I do.
