Starter today: what do you think of this painting, called The Hero's Journey?
For more information, have a look at what artist Sofia Minson has to say about her painting.
Today we are going to look at the Hero's cycle and how it relates to the film Boy.
Our task today is to make a map of what happens in Boy, and relate it to the hero's journey.
By the end of the double lesson, we want to be able to explain the hero's journey, and how it links to Boy.
Another word that could be useful for us today is anti-hero. An anti-hero is a main character who lacks courage, or morality. Who do you think shows the most courage in Boy? Who do you think shows the least courage in Boy?
My thoughts on the painting are the lady looks Maori because she is holding a tiaha and has a moko. She also is wearing an engish/pakeha dress and the background is a diverse pattern.

ReplyDeleteWhat do you think of this painting, called The Hero's Journey ? I think this painting is very beautiful and it symbolises a lot of things. I think she looks very strong and powerful as a Māori wahine. I think this specific painting tells a really nice story about how life is from a Māori wahine's perspective !
ReplyDeleteI believe this painting represents Maori women their strength and resilience when dealing with sexism and racism in the early stages of british colinisation of Aotearoa. My reasoning for believing that the women depicted in this painting is from the 1800's is due to her clothing and the floral pattern in the background.
ReplyDeleteThe painting signifies a balance between Maori and English culture, as it depicts a Maori woman wearing Pakeha clothes, whilst also still having Maori features like a Tiaha and a Moko, signifying strength, and the pride she has in her culture.
ReplyDeleteIn this picture I see a confident and strong independent Māori women after the British came and settled in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteI believe it is a Maori woman that is ready to defend her home and family

DeleteThe Painting looks like a Maori Woman with a Taiaha and a Tamoko on her face. She looks like she's about to hurt someone.
