Visual Art

For the last 10 weeks we have been in inquiry groups and I wanted to go into visual art because I do lots of art and like to do it. WALT: we are learning to design ourselves tattoos. 

I chose this design because I love to draw and I do a lot of it in the weekends including Friday. It mean to me peace, Love and Energy Because I always have peace and love and I always have a lot of energy.

What I found challenging was thinking of what design.

What I found easy was drawing the design of the tattoos

Hangi day

On Thursday after school some men came and dug a hangi pit on our field by the senior playground.

Early on Friday morning they returned to lite the fire. By the time I got to school the fire was roaring and lots of smoke came running out of the hangi pit.

We got to look at the fire and it was explained to us that the wood and iron had to be "white hot!"

Later we went back and they wet the fire and put wet cabbage leaves in, to create steam.

We watched them lower the food in to the pit. There were 3 big baskets.

They put on sacks to cover the food. Then they had to cover the steam areas to make it cook.

3 hours later they got to eat.
