This week we learned about rhetorics and how to convey a message through imagery that triggers emotions and relativity in terms of subject matter and how people perceive these things. We brainstormed inequalities in NZ and in general. This helped spark an idea for my project subject. I’m very passionate about my Maori culture and learning te reo as it changed my life and is on its way up. After the oppression in the 80s, the language was seen as a ‘taonga’, which is a sacred gift. Something that is precious and seen as being very important. But I see this term as being out of reach and rare. I’d like to see Te Reo as a normality in New Zealand in the future.
We were given 2 words to make 10 concepts with, I got race and tree, then race and shallow, then race and love. This was quite a challenge, but helped me generate ideas of how I can make concepts quickly.
