Te Tuhi

The task from te tuhi was a tapa it is made of a type of wood it is from the pacific island which is tonga, samoa and fiji they made it to represent there culture and family by using symbols.The materials were paper ,dye,ink,pastel and paint first scrunch up the paper slowly then use dye to make the paper old for texture then you draw the symbols of your culture your family then what you like doing which is your hobbies and your special place or somewhere you like to go.My techniques were crunching the paper slowly and painting slowly. I found easy was the drawing but the dye and pastel were hard because you need to see the drawing .I learned that the tapa is a special type of paper because it can't break and it's special to the cultures of the pacific islands like tonga fiji and samoa.it was very fun i liked it i want to do it in home.
