You need to show you understand how an indigenous art form (like tā moko, kōwhaiwhai, pūtātā, or similar) has developed and changed over time, and explain the important ideas and techniques within it. You'll pick one traditional Māori or indigenous art and dig into where it comes from and what makes it culturally significant in today's context.
What to do, grades and common mistakes
- ·Choose one indigenous art form and explain its origins and historical development (whakapapa)
- ·Identify and describe the key principles and techniques that define the art form
- ·Interpret how the art form's cultural meanings connect to concepts like mana, ihi, wana, wehi, and mauri
- ·Use specific examples or case studies to show how the art form exists and is used today
- ·Explain the relationship between traditional practices and contemporary applications of the art form
You clearly explain the origins and main characteristics of an indigenous art form, with examples that show what it is and where it comes from.
You develop your understanding further by connecting the art form's development to its deeper cultural meanings and explaining how those principles still matter today.
