Interesting Inquiry and Magnificent Matariki!

Hey Readers, this week for Inquiry I wrote a small explanation on my issue of Hyperfemininity.
I also painted the dress and I'll paint more of it later today!
Here is my Explanation of my art and why I chose it!

My Art shows that women are still being held to insane stereotypes that aren’t right. Women shouldn’t have to be married and have kids if they don’t want to. It’s crazy that men or even other women at times think that this is how women should be treated so I showed that this is wrong. I did this by taking a girl who must wear and like pink and made her chained up and stuck to the stereotypes showing that she can’t getaway.

Here is a picture of my Finished Sketch and Painting so far.

For the past three Fridays, we worked on Matariki art. I showed a picture of my progress last week so this week I'll show you the finished product!

If you can't read the explanation it says, This is a piece of art showing the meaning of the stars in the Matariki constellation through animals that best describe them.

The Owl is Matariki which means the eyes of Tāwhirimātea. I chose an owl because they have big eyes. 

The Eagle is Tupu-ā-Rangi which is sky tohunga, I chose an Eagle because it’s a flying, bold bird. 

I made Waipuna-ā-Rangi into a deer because it means sky spring and a Deer reminds me of spring.

With Waitī, which means sweet water I made a Dolphin because they are sweet animals that live in the sea.

For Tupu-ā-Nuku which means the Earth, I chose an earthworm for obvious reasons.

With Ururangi which is the entry to the heavens, I picked a Goat because I love them.

Last but not least, Waitā - a sprinkle of water. I chose a Jellyfish Because they are made from mostly water.

What Global Issue is the most important to you?

What art have you done for Matariki?

That's all! See you next week!
