Kopu-Wai, the Dog Head Man

Room 15 has read a variety of Maori myths and legends. We have decided to make costumes for the characters of Kopu-Wai, the Dog Head Man for our Wearable Arts evening.  However, we have decided that we would like to write a Taniwha into the story, to make it more interesting! So the characters in the story are: Kopy-Wai (the Dog Head Man), Kaia-Mio (the beautiful girl who gets kidnapped by Kopu-Wai), five vicious two-headed dogs (who live with kopu-Wai), a group of villagers, and a Taniwha.
We are looking forward to start making our wearable art items. We have lots of interesting ideas for showing through art what the characters are like.
