Pou Pou Artwork

This week is Maori Language Week. We have been learning our pepeha over the last couple of months. We have also been doing some corrugated card artwork inspired by pou pou that are found on the inside walls of te whare whakairo - the carved Maori meeting house at a marae. Pou pou are carvings in the upright slabs that form the solid framework. The carvings are representative of tupuna or ancestors. Have a look at the artworks we have completed so far.
