The arts of the Māori

About this photo

PhotographerUnidentifiedLocationnot specifiedNotesEducation Department bulletin “The Arts of the Maori” prepared by Mr Gordon Tovey, national supervisor for arts and crafts. Tovey's deep respect and affinity with Maori, as witnessed by a landmark course on arts and craft at Ruatoria in March 1960, resulted in this publication in 1961. It was issued to every school. By the mid 1960s, despite controversy, Gordon Tovey ensured New Zealand teachers and children were aware of and were participating in their bicultural heritage for the first time. Influenced by Tovey to develop their own creativity, many of his students, such as Cliff Whiting, Para Matchitt and Ralph Hotere, became leading artists and craftspeople. - Source http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/5t17/tovey-arthur-gordonKeywordMāori educationArt
