Koru Designs

We have been learning about koru designs. It is found in lots of Maori artwork. The shape is similar to a fern unfolding as it grows so it symbolises things like peace, growth and new life.
We practised sketching the shape last week and today we drew big korus and coloured them in with crayon and vivid. We are going to try again later in the week with pastel and dye to get an even better looking picture.

Sam D and Skylah finished their first design today. Don't they look great!
