Fatu Feu'u is a Samoan artist who create amazing pieces of art. Even though he is an artist he still creates things like sculptors and much more. He really enjoys making tapacloths. Different countries have different styles of tapacloths. For example In Tonga it is called the ngatu, in Fiji the masi, in Niue the hiapo, in the Cook Islands - the tapa, and in Hawaii the kapa. So the activity asked me to invent my own type of tapacloth. So here it is.
On the outside there are flowers. they represent earth an nature. The long sticks of green are grass. The person in the middle represents to take care of everything.
I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you have any feedback please leave it in the comments. Do you like my tapacloth? BYE!!
Ahiahi pai Vitaraag,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the tapa cloth that you’ve created, I love it! It’s really creative. I like how you have explained what each of the different parts mean - this shows you’ve thought hard about this activity and put lots of effort in.
Is the person in the middle a specific person, or a random person?
Thanks for sharing,
Eliza :)
Hola Vitaraag! I love your tapa, and the meaning behind it as well. It's a very creative design. I like the idea of putting petals around the globe, creating a really cool symbol. I think they're my favorite thing about your tapa, besides how it promotes people to care for the earth. What do you like most about your design? Good work!
ReplyDeleteHi Vitaraag,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you gave a reason for each part of the tapa cloth, like how the flowers represent the earth, and the person in the middle is the caretaker of the earth. I also liked how you put some blended colours for your background. What does the black box the flowers are in represent?
