Guidelines for Tutors
Conventions – established procedures, in making art works that use particular
techniques or processes to represent, organise or interpret ideas.
Design elements – refer to the basic qualities of two and three-dimensional
compositions (e.g. line, point, tone, texture, colour, form or mass, shape, space).
Māori art conventions – the established application of design elements and principles
employed by Māori in making art works (e.g. tone is absent from pre-European Māori
art practice). Māori art conventions are intimately associated with Māori terms
relevant to techniques, tools, materials, processes and procedures (e.g. ngao pae –
an adzing technique, whao – a chisel, muka – processing flax fibre, whakairo rākau –
traditional Māori wood carving, karakia – incantation); therefore, familiarity with the
Māori language is a critical element in the practice and study of Māori.
Experience – learning experience should be experiential (involving all the senses)
and experimental across a range of whakairo practices and using a range of
whakairo media.
