Welcome
Learning Experiences Outside the ClassromTe Tuhi Centre for the Arts
Create symbols inspired by shapes from your national flag. Try using black and white only and leave un-coloured. Draw your symbols in a box similar to symbols in tapa.
If you belong to more than one culture, you can create symbols for those too.
Here are a few examples. Try to spot where the shapes were taken from.
Flags can be used to represent a country and can remind us of culture.
Interests - do you have any hobbies? What do you like to do?
Our interests (hobbies) reflect our personality. They are things are interested in or may do in our spare time.
Here are a few examples to get you started…
Playing sportsPlaying video gamesWatching moviesListening to music or playing a musical instrument
With all our symbols we can tell our personal story like Polynesian tapa can.
Art activity
On an A4 paper divide your page into 4 squares depending on your class.
In each square draw one symbol. Each drawing needs to be big (the size of the square) and should be simple line drawings - no shading/no colouring in.
Now that we have our symbols, we need to put together a pencil design for our personal tapa cloth.
Remember…symbols are different to pictures…
A symbol is a simple drawing of one thing,
A picture is a drawing that can show lots of different things.
Now we have our tapa cloth design. We will need to bring these drawings to Te Tuhi when we visit.
Let’s recap on what we have learnt so far…As we have seen, symbols and what they represent can
tell a story that is personal and unique…
Symbols…
Can represent our family.
What have we learnt so far?
Can represent our culture.
Can represent our home.
Can represent our interests.
We hope you have enjoyed learning about the stories of Polynesian tapa…
During our gallery visit we will experience artworks that have their own stories. We will also make our own art telling our personal story so make sure we bring our drawings with us
