Maori art (Social studies)

What have you learnt about
In Social studies, we started looking at the Maori art, and how they did tattoos
Back then when men got their tattoos done it was forbidden for them to cry or wince as it showed a sign of weakness.
After we watched a video of a guy getting a tattoo we were then given a piece of paper with a face on it so we could draw our own Maori tattoos

Your design 
(Mine)





















What your design means to you
The chin of a Maori design normally means Mana, To me it feels like the Mana is of high status therefore untouchable
For the Jaw it means Birth Status. To me, the design feels like a balance between two status altogether. E.g Royal and Commoner together.
