Visual+Art

In visual art this term we have been learning how to create a Visual Mihmihi to introduce our whanau/ family, culture, special places/ mountain and river as well as ourselves to the viewer. A Visual Mihimihi is a Maori art work and the purpose is to introduce and tell the viewer about important things to us.

For our Visual Mihimihi we were working towards these learning intentions:

I am learning to understand and describe the purpose of a mihimihi Success Criteria: I will know I can do this when I can:
 * Say when a mihimihi is used.
 * Describe what a mihimihi is and what information it tells the viewer.

I am learning to include and arrange appropriate symbols in my visual mihimihi. Success Criteria: I will know I can do this when I:
 * Include a picture of me
 * Include a picture or symbol of my culture
 * Include koru patterns for my family
 * Include a picture or pattern of a special place to me (e.g. mountain, river)

I am learning to talk to others about my artwork. Success Criteria: I will know I can do this when I:
 * Tell the audience what my art work is about.
 * Describe to the audience how I created my artwork.
 * Discuss what I did well and what I would like to get better at.

Below is a Youtube Clip of our Visual Mihimihi. Each persons mihimihi is on their own page as well.
