Tupuārangi Art

This week we have been learning about the star Tupuārangi. Tupuārangi is the star connected to the collection of birds and other elevated food products like fruit and berries from the trees.  We drew fruit outlines with pencil and then used pastels to shade in our outlines.  We had to be careful we chose colours that would blend well together and that represented the fruit we choose.

Tupuānuku Art

This week we have been learning about the star Tupuānuku. Tupuānuku is the star connected to food grown in the ground, such as vegetables and rongoa (traditional medicine). “Tupu” means ‘to grow’ and “nuku” is the shortened version of “Papatuanuku” and means ‘earth’. We did some art to help us remember. We folded the paper so we could draw the vegetables under the ground and then we added what they looked like on top. Finally we died them using blue and brown.
