Kia Ora! In class for topic we have been researching about Koru's. We have been gathering this information and putting it all together.
Here is what I found:
Koru's are used to represent creations because of the way it was shaped in a circular way. The Koru design is also used for decorations, it could be used for tatoos, Maori Art and carvings. The Word 'Koru' means 'Loop' in english. It represents new life and growth, it means strength and peace. Many people believe that Koru means to have a fresh start and new life. Koru's are a symbol to new life, growth and strength.
Kowhaiwhai patterns are used to help tell a story. Kowhaiwhai patterns can sometimes be seen in a Marae, including Korus. The colours on a kowhaiwhai are Red, White and Black.
