 What connections can you make between the two Artists Kaupapa and the use of text and image?

Tracey Tawhiao and Robyn Kahukiwa have similar kaupapa as they both are Maori so they represent their culture in their artwork. They use text and images to further enhance and send a clearer message by adding words to images. Since Maori culture isn't represented so well in the media, these artists represent their culture

Robyn Kahukiwa's artworks are more focused on the past and mostly focusing on feminism while Tracey Tawhiao's artworks are focused on the present and use subversion to show how the media treats Maori and Pacifica, people.

An example of Robyn Kahukiwas artwork. Here she has painted 6 women and used a very monotoned colour palette with greens, yellows and reds.

This is Tracey Tawhiaos artwork where she uses different tones of red and used a lot of grids with symbols: fishes, korus, triangles and diamonds.

Art - Series and Sequences

 In art, we have been thinking of our Kaupapa and how we are going to layout our art portfolios. 

For this activity, we are to point out what belongs as a series of work that stands alone by itself. Our teacher taught us that we can look at our portfolios like an essay; the first few parts are the introduction, the body and then the last image could be the link to another paragraph which is the second part of the portfolio.
