AJ's Poupou Art Reflection

Poupou Art Reflection

1. What did you accomplish?

I think I accomplished blending the colours well together and combining a
good colour contrast.

2. Are you satisfied with your poupou artwork?

Why / Why not?

Yes because it shows ‘cool’ colours on one side, and on the opposite it
shows ‘warm’ colours. Some of the bits I am not satisfied with, such as
some of the colouring I did with the pastels as I smudged it over the black
lines.

3. What did you find easy when you created your Poupou artwork?

The main thing I found easy through this process was drawing the poupou
because you could design it however you wanted.

4. What did you find challenging when you created your Poupou artwork?

I found it quite challenging colouring the poupou with pastels because the
pastels smudged very easily and it was hard to fix it up especially since I
was using black pastel in parts of my poupou.

5. What do you need to work on?

I think I need to work on colouring more carefully and taking my time so
that I don’t rush through it. I also think I could draw my poupou more evenly
because it was a little bit crooked the way I drew it.

6. What would you change, modify / adjust with your Poupou artwork?

I would make my poupou look more scarier and also have a different
range of contrasting colours.

7. What would you do next time to improve your Poupou artwork?

I would draw some designs and patterns on my artwork next time to make
it more detailed and complexed. I would also use different varieties of
colours to make the poupou look more bold and stand out more.

Poupou Art Reflection By Ferah

Poupou Art Reflection

I accomplished combining cool and warm colour contrast in my artworks so
that the colours don’t clash. I am very satisfied with my artwork because it is
very symmetrical, smooth and scary which was my goal during the process.
I found it easy to make too mirrored copies of my pou pou. In the process, I
found it challenging to work with a limited amount of colours on each side,
because of the warm coloured side and the cold coloured side. I need to work
on adding more details such as maori patterns and being able to think beyond
with my art. If I were to change anything, I would change the arms and head
as they are both much bigger than the body. I would change the design of my
pou pou.

All of our beautiful Poupou in one slideshow

Do you like the song Poi e by the Patea Maori Club? We have got a very cool presentation with all of our Poupou Art that we created for Maori Language Week.
All of our Poupou Art is stuck onto the Room 1 window. Do pop by and view them. The best thing about this Poupou Art is that it is double sided and can be viewed inside and outside the classroom.

Today the Room 1 Girls worked on their Poupou artwork and had got some of the Poupou that was made yesterday laminated. They have created an amazing display on the windows of our classroom.  It great to have a display that can be enjoyed inside as well as outside. 

A sneak preview of our Poupou Art

As part of Maori Language Week, Room 1 and the Year 6's from Room 3 made some double sided Poupou. The best thing about double sided artwork is that it can be looked at on both sides of the classroom-inside and outside of the classroom. Poupou are seen on most Marae in New Zealand and is a taonga to be treasured by all of us. The Poupou were made using pastel and lamination pockets. The finished Poupou are stuck onto Room 1's windows. Here are some of the finished Poupou and the artists who made them.
