Picasso Jigsaw Art

Room 8 learnt about the legend of Maui and the giant fish. It was funny how Maui's brothers said he couldn't go fishing, he was too young to catch anything and when he snuck into their boat and went out fishing with them, he caught the BIGGEST fish possible! The legend tells of how the North and South Island were formed. - The fish-land 'Te ikaroa a Maui' becomes the North Island the hook or 'Te matau a Maui' is Mahia peninsula in the Hawkes Bay. The canoe they brothers were fishing in 'Te waka a Maui' is now the South Island and the anchor holding the boat 'Te punga a Maui' is Stewart Island. After we had learnt about Maui we decided to make a jigsaw art piece of Maui and his canoe. A jigsaw art piece is a Picasso style of artwork. Picasso like abstract art, so it is not meant to be a clean and tidy matched up piece of art. Below I have attached our learning intention, success criteria and the original picture so you can see what we were trying to accomplish. Then I will attach our artwork. We are very proud of our picture.
