we made taniko bands for the day for
Did you know that Parihaka remembrance day is about non-violent war against the government and Parihaka village? Did you know that one day there was a massive bird that fell into their village and flew into the sky and just as it left the ground for the sky it dropped one little feather. They chose it as their symbol for peace and harmony but then the government decided to sell Parihakas settlement grounds and they said no but they didn’t fight they chose non-violence.
How to make a Taniko band :
- First get 2 cardboard bands but not the thick kind like the box get the flimsy piece that’s white and small just ask your teacher.
- Next you want to measure your head size and draw a line on where the other end stops when its not to tight and not to loose just right you need that line for how far you need to go.
- Then you want to get a ruler,rubber and a pencil then want to start drawing your patterns on to your band but before drawing write your name on it so you know its yours .
- Then you want to go over the pencil out lines with vivid and then colour it in and leave some white the only colours we were aloud to use was black and white and add some white feathers and then your finished.
