During Māori language week we got really into the Māori myths and legends written and illustrated by Peter Gossage. We particularly loved the art - the beautiful colours and swirling patterns.
We liked the way he decorated the faces of the characters in his books and wanted to have a go ourselves.
We looked at all the Maui books, In the beginning and Rona and the Moon for ideas.
First we sketched our ideas.
Next we transferred these designs onto larger paper and drew strong outlines with Sharpies. Once that was completed we used water paints (2-3 different colours) to fill in our paintings.
These came out looking super coll. They are on display in our cloakroom. Come check them out!
