Reflecting on my Tapa Cloth: By Tim
Reflecting on my Tapa Cloth
1. Are you pleased with your Tapa Cloth? why / why not?
Yes because I like the whiteness from the bleach on my Tapa
2. What did you find easy when you were creating your Tapa?
Dying my Tapa
3. What did you find tricky when you were creating your Tapa?
Using the bleach because it is tiring and I had to bleach my Tapa twice because it did not show up.
4. If you made another Tapa, what would you change and why?
I would change the Maori centre design to a flower
5. Who / What has helped you in creating your Tapa?
Keri.
6. Did you use any of your own cultural patterns in your own Tapa? Which ones? What do they mean? If you didn’t use your cultural patterns, what did patterns did you use? Where did they come from?
No, I got the idea from Miss Paton.
7. What geometric elements does your Tapa Cloth show? Reflection, Rotation, Translation.
I used translation around the sides.
