Today I taught my 3rd graders how to draw various tiki. Some of their drawings looked pretty sweet. I look forward to seeing what they can do as the year progresses.
T Tamapoutini Member Aotearoa (New Zealand) Joined: Aug 30, 2006 Posts: 1530	T Tamapoutini Posted posted on Fri, Oct 13, 2006 4:49 PM Lucky kids! Bet we all wish we got a start like this... Thought Id add a pic here of a few tiki Masterworks by my 4 1/2yr old daughter Kenna (she signs her work 'Kena'! I dont know, artists...) Came home one day & started my regular online browse of auction sites to find her first painting listed (thanks to Mum!), she got 2 bids & the piece went to Australia, cool eh? She now has plans for global domination... hahaha These are all her own designs, apparently inspired from watching her 'master carver' (her words) Dad, who she sees regularly drawing such things... If this is anything to go by, I would say they are derived from traditional Maori (greenstone/pounamu) Hei-tiki. Ahh, so proud! (at least it covers the price of materials & aint TV!!!) :) Tama

O Ojaitimo Member Joined: Aug 04, 2006 Posts: 1317	O Ojaitimo Posted posted on Sat, Sep 15, 2007 12:50 PM Woo Hoo thanks for your great work, your kids must love you. I'll bet a lot of the students at the school wish you were their teacher. Tiki assembly! I wonder what they think of the " Ultra Lounge Tiki look" places ( I'm not naming any names here but we all know some) "To appeal to our younger crowd we made some changes" Vegas seems to be tiki crazy and I found dozens of wannabes examples around town. Only a few looked good IMHO. Your Tiki students will hopefully demand better. New tiki palaces will be built and we can all be happier. I worked at Casa Pacifica as a nurse taking care of about 75 kids on 25 acres, there are 5 cottages of every age group. Shortly after 9-11 these kids were already shook but 9-11 hit them especially hard. For a few hours they all had a great party. Palm trees,sand beach, tiki, limbo sticks, food, and music. The kid's and staff all transported themselves to to the beach that day. For a few hours the world was forgotten. I don't think thats going to happen with the "Ultra Tiki" being transported and all. So I guess I'll ride this phase out until the kid's get them built by "To appeal to our younger crowd we made some changes" So thanks again Woo Hoo. I was looking through Tiki Style and thinking this would be a great school book for kids. Student edition with out a few of the images like the contents painting, and 116 and 117; The school boards woundn't go for it, then again they don't allow National Geographic either or do they? Maybe that is only in Europe? [ Edited by: Ojaitimo 2007-09-16 08:18 ]

This is the type of illustration my Thai kids had to suffer during our culture special on New Zealand. I don't know what age your kiddies are but teach them the Haka Dance, it's a great way to start a Monday watching 30 six year olds doing the battle dance of the Maoris.
