Week 5 - Ihi Wehi

Session 1.

Presentation.

Poster 1.
Fay and Caroline suggested I get rid of the Maori patterns and the hand, saying that this was crowding the poster. They also suggested that I crop crop into the image so the tukutuku pannel is bigger.





































Poster 2 my idea was to show a teacher marking the roll and the text to suggest that the Maori is absent, alluding to an effect teacher bias can have on Maori students learning and attitude towards it.


The second poster the tutors suggested that I get rid of the teacher and add more empty desks and get rid of the teacher. Also the font was too small and hard to read.

Peer feedback.

Feedback I received was that the text gave an understanding of the issue, but the first poster was thought to be about autism and the tukutuku panel took a while to identify. Poster 1 thought to be clustered, hard to read subtext. Colours in one of the posters not engaging.





Session 2.

Work and feedback.



Desk idea. Caroline suggested that i look at Thomas Kendall, a historic New Zealand missionary, who taught Maori children in the 1800's, these children however wanted to just sing and play so they stopped coming to class. http://www.listener.co.nz/current-affairs/historical/first-school-opened-new-zealand/



Thomas Kendal idea. I removed the desks and students and replaced it with an image of the missionary Thomas Kendall holding a clipboard calling the roll with the Maori name with a cross next to his name, suggesting that he is absent. Caroline suggested that If I wanted to use the image of Thomas Kendall, that i should use the whole image and not just a cut out of Thomas.
