Collaging Google Drawing

Today in ruma tahi we have been learning to make a collage using Google Drawing. We used the explore, mask and arrange tools to put our collage together. We had to create a NZ bird and put it into its natural habitat. I thought it was a lot of fun and I am really pleased with my Red-Crowned Parakeet. Have you ever had a go at making a collage using Google Drawing?

My Kowhaiwhai Art Work

 Kowhaiwhai Art

In He Kakano we have been learning about kowhaiwhai patterns and their meanings. This term we had to create our own kowhaiwhai patterns and describe their meanings. I decided to make my art about friendship and I used a butterfly to symbolize it because I think butterflies are friendly. The black designs in the corners symbolize a group of friends and the purple designs symbolize a bridge to friendship. I chose purple, black and white for the colours because I think the colours mix well.
