LI: To create a symmetrical design using weaving techniques.
At Tech, my group and I went back to continue our Māori weaving patterns using string and wood. We used the wooden boards with holes and followed the same pattern to keep our design going. This time, I was able to finish my first weaving, which was impressive to see all completed. For those who finished first, we started a second piece that had to match the first. The goal was to make it symmetrical so that when both pieces are together, they create a full picture and tell a story.
It was a bit tricky making sure the second weaving lined up properly with the first, but it helped me think more carefully about my pattern and colour choices. Each colour still added to the story, and I had to plan how both pieces would connect. I really enjoyed seeing my work come together and how the two weavings can form one bigger design. I’m excited to improve it even more next time we go to Tech.
