Kowhaiwhai

Our third task for the summer learning journey is called Tanerore. In the Tanerore task we have to create a kowhaiwhai pattern. We could make it on a google drawing or a piece of paper but I chose the google drawing. 

Tanerore is the son of Hine-raumati. Tanerore is the personification for shimmering air. Tanerore performed a haka for his mother. 

The wiriwiri is an hand action that is use to represent shimmering heat. The wiriwiri is when you make your hand tremble. The wiriwiri can be seen in a haka or action songs which is also know as Waiata a ringa. 

I enjoyed creating the kowhaiwhai patterns. I think my kowhaiwhai pattern is very unique out of all the students in my class.
