Designing a moko

Moko is a traditional Maori face tattoo. We learnt that males can have a moko on their whole face but females are to only have it on their chin.  

We began to look at the various designs of moko in our favourite Maori myths and legends books to get an idea before designing our own. 
We recognised that it was mostly the koru pattern. 


Then sketched our ideas.

Then we copied our designs onto our own faces!

What do you think of our moko?




Quick fact !
Did you know that the left side of the moko represents our father and the right side represents our mother?

    Room 5, that is fantastic, I did not know that each side of the face represents our mothers and fathers. Your moko's look great, some of them look really scary .
