Maryanne - Inquiry Art / Kowhaiwhai Design

My Artist I chose are The Suluape Family, they are famous for doing people's Malu's and Pe'a's. They use straight lines for their tattoo. In the olden days, The Suluape family only did their tattoo's for the Samoan people, If you weren't Samoan, they won't get your tattoo done. Line is one of the elements the the Suluape family use in their tattoo's. If you see a Malu, you would see that their are only straight lines in a Malu or a Pe'a. Their are no wavy or zigzag lines in a Malu or a Pe'a. The second element of the Suluape's families is the colour. If you see a Malu or a Samoan tatto the colour of it is normally black and the last element of the malu and pe'a is the texture, If you see a malu or a Samoan pe'a the texture is very dark. So the Suluape family do the malu's and the Samoan pe'a's because they when they see people with Malu's and Samoan pe'a's, It shows that you are a true Samoan and you are very brave for representing the Samoan culture

Team 5s Inquiry Topic

This term, Team 5s Inquiry topic is about “ Painting art with meanings”. The teachers in team 5 decided to do a play to explain about our inquiry topic this term. The teachers were pretending to be students and their teacher was Mr.Wiseman. So most of the students painting were not that good but 2 students paintings were amazing but he decided to rip it apart.

So the team that I like out of team 5 is team 3. Team 3s topic this term is Body Painting. I like their inquiry topic this term because their inquiry topic this term looks very exciting and fun. It was very fun to watch. The team 3 teachers were rolling around on the white paper on the floor and they put paint all over their face.

Here are some photos of Team 3
