My Favourite Part: My favourite part is painting it with brown water and letting it dry and making it look really cool . My favourite part is drawing our Maoir Art to add to it to make it look perfect just how it is . My favourite part for water colouring is the splat and the blending it together with different colours.

Art Hurumanu/ Tapa cloth

Hi Readers Today I am going to talk about how to make Tapa cloth and how use it in some kind of way in the tongan tradition. So Tongans have always made Tapa cloth for weddings and birthdays and all those sort of stuff and it takes them so in they have to go though a section where the bark that they use to make the Tapa has to left outside in the sea little period of time. And then their is period where they have to hit to smooth it out and connect to together hitting them together to then they stay together so when it comes to painting it won't fall apart. So after that section It painting time and we paint on out Tongan traditional art on to it sometimes leave it to dry and then we use for the floor.

So my class and our buddy class have been learning to make Tapa cloth and how we can make it with only paper. So first we got instructions from miss b and learned how draw tongan art and other Pacific Islanders art. We moved from that and drew it on to brown paper that we are going to on the wall for display. We finished Them and put them on our black paper that we are going to display all the work we done.

Thank you
