Children's Art

Working today, grey day cold wind, so here's some of the art the children were doing.

They were making koru prints with paper, card, and printing ink, and using rollers.

They made a pretty good job considering they are only 7 and will be showing their work to the rest of the school tomorrow at assembly.

The koru which is a Maori word for loop is a spiral shape based on the shape of a new unfurling silver fern frond and symbolizing new life, growth, strength and peace. It is a much used symbol in M?ori art, carving and tattoos. The circular shape of the koru helps to convey the idea of perpetual movement while the inner coil suggests a return to the point of origin.
