Y9 Woodblock Printmaking

Inspired by traditional Māori kowhaiwhai and tukutuku panel design and the artwork of New Zealand contemporary artist Reuben Paterson (Ngāti Rangitihi, Ngāi Tūhoe), Y9 students developed a personal composition for the woodblock printmaking unit. Like Paterson, students also explored conventions such as rotation, symmetry and repetition in their work.
