Welcome to Pae Ringa Toi. This is a learning management system (LMS) for you and your students, friends and whānau to learn about tā moko (traditional Māori tattooing).
The kaupapa (plan or purpose) of this learning management system is education and enlightenment on the topic of Māori visual culture through collaboration with local Māori artists and iwi.
Piki te maunga – the aim is to climb the mountain. You can learn at your own pace as an individual or work through the steps as a group. If you are a teacher you can enjoy a shared learning experience with your students as you explore the content together during class time. The videos are designed to do one at a time and then practice what you’ve learned. When you reach the top, use all of your new skills to create an artwork about your whakapapa.
This website can be used to support level 1 standards, particularly 1.1 and 1.2.
Below are the student examples that feature in the tasks. Please feel free to download them and use them in your classroom setting.
