Fatu Feu'u #Storiesfromthepacific



During this lesson, we have been learning about...
Inspired by Tapa. 

What is a Tapa cloth?
Tapa:
* Used for clothing, costumes, blankets, masks, rooms and to help celebrate birthdays, weddings and funerals. 
* Is made from the bark of the paper Mulberry tree. The bark is flattened, dried, and the decorated with dye, 
* Have different designs. They use different colours, patterns and symbols to one another. 

Because you know what a Tapa Cloth is, we can now move on to the main Topic. This topic is called: "Inspired by Tapa"! 

Here are three famous polynesian artist:
1. Fatu Feu'u
2. John Pule
3. Dagmar Dyck
4. Ahota'ei'loa Toetu'u 

From these 4 polynesian artist, we had to choose one we really liked and research about them. I have chosen, Fatu Feu'u! 

Fatu Feu'u is a Samoan artist. I have chosen Fatu because he uses really bright and colourful colours. And really makes his work outstand. 

Here is a "Google Drawing", showing my learning!
