Level 3 Whakairo (Carving)
Course Description
In Level 3 Whakairo, students will develop theoretical and practical knowledge about Māori design and art elements as well as developing skills in Māori design practices. Students will demonstrate knowledge of whakairo production for meaning, intention and function.
The Level 3 Whakairo interweaves daily cultural practices such as taumata (Karakia/ngā kupu a ngā Tūpuna/mihimihi/Waiata) and fosters the values of whanaungatanga - others, whakaiti - humility and manaakitanga - respect.
‘Kia whakatōmuri te haere ki mua’ ‘to walk into the future our eyes must be fixed on the past.’
