My choice of picking spiritual and cultural as my kaupapa wasn't because I would enjoy it. I chose this because it this particular theme has impacted me in a way to help with building me into the person I am now. Also, it is helping me build my relationship between my culture and expanding my knowledge about where I come from and the person I am beginning to evolve into.
I have constantly been researching a lot and reconnecting with things I have lost but are now gaining back. My research has been based around things that are currently in my family in both the spiritual and cultural sides of things.
The work below is a display of wings. They're unfinished and need some adjusting as it is not quite done yet. There is also a meaning behind the reason I have chosen to do wings. It represents one of my grandparents. It's not just a pair of wings that I have drawn just because I like wings. I chose to draw this as a representation of my grandfather who had passed down the values, knowledge etc to me and my family. By this meaning it relates back into the spiritual kind of things.
Here is one thing that I've been researching on. Obviously the cross represents my religion.
Kia ora Nelly. I like that you seem to be improving in how you talk about your kaupapa as this is the point of me asking you to re state it so many times.
ReplyDeleteI would like you to investigate some traditional watercolour techniques next i think, as well as looking at the art work of Marilynn Webb. She is a NZ printmaker who uses landscape in a stylised manner quite a lot.
