Living Nature
An Installation
Unit
• Read Mural BRIEF
• RESEARCH: analysis of artist model Fatu Fe’u and Michel Tuffrey
• COLLECTION of cultural designs related to your culture, plant image relating to your whanau, a self portrait,
symbols or images relating to your personal interests.
• Dump sheet exercise- Group brainstorm of mural ideas
• CONCEPTS: Divide an A3 page in to four parts. Draw six ‘thumbnail’ ideas using images and ideas related to
yourself, your interests, your cultural patterns, design your whanau symbols i.e.. Miro plant, Hinau plant, Tawa
plant or Kowhai plant.
• DEVELOPMENT: make two compositional ideas on an A3 page. Explore use of line to create texture and
pattern as seen in artists works studied. Show your use of colour ( make a colour plan using 3-4 colours on
one of the development works) and media
• REFINEMENT: Discuss in small groups how to improve best ideas 5-10 minutes. Transfer your chosen image
to Ply.
• FINAL: Use a variety of media to work into your section of the installation

• Concepts: Make 4 composition ideas on an A3 page. Explore use of line to create textures and patterns as seen in artist’s works studied
• Developments: (On Card to Scale) - Discuss, improve best ideas, make colour plan using 3-4 colours. (2 x A4) ( for learning about colour, using paint and tone)
• Finals - Transfer image to Ply. Paint with white. Work over line work in ink. Allow to dry then work over in colour tone, media
Our project is a mural installation which is based on ‘Living Nature’(and identity), Shape & Colour
Fatu Feu'u
Ulu manu folau
Fatu Feu’u is a senior artist acknowledged as both a leader and mentor within the
Pacific arts community in New Zealand. Feu’u grew up in the village of Poutasi in
Western Samoa and immigrated to New Zealand in 1966 at the age of 20. He has
been an exhibiting artist since the early 1980s and became a full-time artist in 1988.
Fatu is a multi-media artist and while primarily a painter, he explores a range of other
mediums including bronze, wood and stone sculpture, pottery design, lithographs,
woodcuts and glass works (both stained and etched). Fatu gains inspiration from
Polynesian art forms such as siapo (bark cloth), tatau (tattooing), weaving, carving
and ceremonial mask making. In these forms he has discovered a rich lexicon of
motifs and compositional structures. Fatu's works frequently blend traditional and
contemporary elements, incorporating a range of influences, inspirations, techniques
and motifs from Samoa and Aotearoa and more generally from Euro-American to
Pacific cultures.

Michel Tuffery
1.Tangaroa Conversion With Tui 500 X 1300mm
2.Tangaroa,Tangaroa,Tangaroa, Siva in Cook Strait 500 X 1950mm
Michel Tuffery is an acclaimed printmaker, painter and sculptor, who is constantly exploring,
collaborating and innovating.
A New Zealand based artist of Samoan, Rarotongan and Tahitian heritage, Tuffery likens the
role of the artist to that of a journalist – asking questions, investigating and telling stories
from fresh perspectives. For Tuffery, art is his first language. It’s the way he communicates his
ideas on the world around him; his cultural heritage and the diverse cultural fabric that
makes up New Zealand; and the changing nature of life in the Pacific region.
“ Tuffery’s journey is an open and expansive one, its wonder and revelations shared
generously, as a gift, in his art. It illuminates the sea around him, showing us aspects of our
world, our society and our lives that would otherwise remain unseen. ”

Elements: colour, line and shape
COLOUR
Primary Colours Secondary Colours Tertiary Colours
Red, Yellow and Blue.
Equally spaced on the
Colour wheel. When used
together they tend to give
a very contrasting effect.
Secondary colours are
formed when you mix the
primary colours together.
These colours tend to have
a much gentler feel to them
The tertiary colours are
formed by mixing a primary
and secondary hue together.
They could be referred to as
the “in-between” colours.

SHAPE
Principles:
Contrast, balance,
rhythm and harmony
BALANCEThere are three main kinds of visual balance:
Radial formal (or symmetrical) informal (or asymmetrical)
HARMONY & CONTRAST
A harmonious design is one in which its different elements are in unity with each other
Contrast, the opposite quality to harmony, involves the use of opposing elements, such as clashing colours and shapes, in the same design.
PATTERN AND RHYTHM
A repeated design element. Rhythm is related to pattern in that it uses repeating elements

Personal Reflection
• What ideas did you gain from studying the artist models Fatu Fe’u and Michel Tuffrey
• What principles did you use to organise your final design?, for example balance, harmony and contrast
• What are the meanings and significance of the symbols you have used within your final A3 design?
• What messages did you communicate about yourself through your used images?
NZ born Samoan Artist, Michel Tuffrey uses lizards in his work combining it with symbols of his culture
Designers often stylise real
creatures to make
give them emphasis
