He Kakano kowhaiwhai patterns

In He Kakano (our senior Māori group) we have been learning about kowhaiwhai and their different meanings. We had to create a piece of artwork showing at least one kowhaiwhai pattern and this is what we chose. 

This kowhaiwhai pattern represents speed, swiftness and agility. We chose this one because we all like sport and we’re all fast. 

This design represents the patiki or flounder. It is a symbol of hospitality. 

We chose this design because we all like eating food.
