Piwakawaka Maui Art
June 14, 2024
Piwakawaka class: As part of a Māori Myths and Legends unit, Piwakawaka read “How Maui Slowed the Sun” by Peter Gossage. In Māori mythology, Māui, with the help of his brothers, harnessed the sun to slow it down so that the days would be longer and they would all have more time to find food.We looked at symmetry in maths and linked this to the intricate patterns on Maui’s face. Red, yellow and orange blended dye was used to create a glowing sun.
