2TOI

Level 2 Toi Māori

Course Description

In Level 2 Toi Māori, students will gain an understanding of the significance of Māori art forms in both traditional and contemporary settings.  Students will use their knowledge around the appropriate use of Māori designs, symbols and patterns, to create both 2D and 3D artworks.  Students will also be exposed to commissioned artworks both individually and collectively.  Students will be given the opportunity to submit work for the annual national Ringa Toi exhibition.

The Level 2 Toi programme 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.’
