Maori Art - PRINTMAKING - Elements of Kowhaiwhai Unit of Work

This Māori arts printmaking teaching resource provides a ready-to-use, culturally responsive introduction to printing techniques including crayon rubbings (frottage), dry roller prints, wet roller prints and overprints. The students design and make their own printing plate using traditional elements of kōwhaiwhai such as koru, patiki, mangopare, rauru and others. They learn how to create different types of prints using crayons, printing rollers and printing ink.

This resource includes everything you need to introduce printmaking into your classroom:

• a 16 page visual teaching guide (can be printed to use as a modelling book or cast on a screen) with supporting pictures and design sketches for each step of the printing process
• a detailed unit plan with curriculum links, achievement objectives, specific learning outcomes and possible assessment questions
• teacher preparation notes, a material list and a clear lesson sequence with extension ideas
• a visual reference sheet with elements of kōwhaiwhai and some of their meanings

The step-by-step instructions will make teaching the exciting and rewarding process of printmaking fun and worthwhile. You will learn alongside your akonga how rewarding printmaking can be - a very different medium to painting, crayon and dye or any other art form. You will be surprised how different tamariki will stand out in this type of art.
