2022 Takahe Art

With an emphasis on Māori language Week and to make a connection with traditional mythical legends. The Year 4 Takahe class has embraced Māori mythology and researched the Taniwha. Large supernatural beings that live in deep pools in rivers, dark caves, or in the sea, especially in places with dangerous currents or deceptive breakers.
The children have depicted their Taniwha creations, using a range of coloured pastels, that have been blended to create and enhance a captivating graphic of the dwelling monster.
