My Kowhaiwhai what is it?

Today in class we have been making kowhaiwhai patterns. What is a kowhaiwhai? It is a Maori pattern symbolizing someone. Kowhaiwhai tell a story so we wrote about our kowhaiwhai too! I will show you my kowhaiwhai and what I wrote about it. I hope you enjoy Tip, for looking at it just squint a little.

My Kowhaiwhai


My kowhaiwhai pattern has seven koru in it to represent my family. The second biggest is my mum and the biggest one is my dad. The three in the middle are me, Zach and Alex who are the youngest. And the two outside the biggest ones are Oscar and Jasmine the oldest children supporting their own weight.


In my pattern I used The mathematical transformations: Transition and reflection. I reflected twice then Translated and repeated.



I learnt alot about kowhaiwhais I like the way mine turned out and I think you should try make one yourself. What do you think of my kowhaiwhai? do you like it? I hope you do comment your answer.

Portrait Perfection.

Have you ever wanted to do a portrait of yourself on a google drawing but it never looks like you? well I found a way to do it perfectly, well sort of... 
For the past week we have been trying to make the perfect portrait of our self. We watched a video on the cyber smart site and tried our self. click the link to watch the video and see how you do. this is how I went. Its not perfect but it's pretty good. This is what I did. First take a picture of yourself and then trace the different spots of color on your face. After that get a color picker and find the right colors for your face. Later you take away the lines and turn it transparent and fix up things that don't look right. DONE!
 Don't forget there's still the link if you need a better explanation.

Now presenting my Perfect Portrait:

I have realized that I am not good at making self portraits but maybe you are! Give it a go maybe you'll be better then me. I think the hardest part was getting my face color right but maybe next time i'll do better if I can.
My Resources were a Google drawing and a app called color picker click the links to use them.
How did you do on yours? Comment your answer.
