What you have learnt and how: I have learned to be clear with my inspiration and take inspiration from multiple examples, print them, and take note of what aspects I like the most from each one. This way I will know how I can create something original and go on with the creative process from …

Rationale
A very common feeling toward Te Reo Māori is fear of mispronunciation/ being corrected or infringing on what isn’t there’s/ not wanting to risk stepping over tapu (sacred) lines. Where I sympathise and understand, if this continues the everydayness of Te Reo Māori and our culture will dissipate. People need to start refraining from correcting …

Week 1
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.
