3 D Fish

I created a 3D (stuffed with newspaper) fish for the Rotary Xmas function.

First, I drew my fish on white paper. Then I cut it up. Next I painted it. Thereafter I added some glitter to make it pretty. Finally I stuffed it with newspaper.

My 3D fish looked beautiful!

Future transport

This is a drawing of what I think transport would look like in the future.

Printmaking

I created this print by making the image on a block using card. Then I rolled an even coat of ink over the surface and placed paper over the block applying pressure using my hands and a roller to transfer the print.

Inoke's Bobby Lawn Rhythm Track

I was able to cut out the parts from a picture and invent a Thing-A-Me-Jig by rearranging the parts.

All about me flower

I created an “All about me” flower. In my flower I described my gender, my ethnicity, my age, my year level and my favourite fruit.

How to make a porotaka

To make a porotaka I used two strips of flax at least 30 centimetres long.

The strips were both the same width. 

First I folded strip A. 

Then I placed strip B inside the fold of strip A.

Next I weaved strip B around strip A.

Thereafter I pulled the four ends tightly to form a square.

Then I trimmed the blades so they are all the same length.

      Finally when I finished making my porotaka, I pinned it to a stick.

How to make a porotiti.

First I cut a circular piece of thick cardboard about the size of a coffee cup.

Then I designed my circular piece of cardboard using different coloured crayons.

Next I pierced two holes in the centre of the cardboard circle about 1 centimetre apart.

Thereafter I threaded a piece of string through the holes. I tied the ends together into a sturdy knot, creating a large hoop.

 

 

A strip of Aotearoa

Firstly I drew the sky, mountain, river, land and sea on a strip of paper using a pencil.  I then used a vivid to go over my drawing. Finally I dyed the strip using a paintbrush and different coloured dyes.

Mihi in Maori

My treasure.

My treasure is a photo.
It is from Tonga.
It looks like an old photo.
It is  80 years old.
It is special to our family because it was my grandad's photo.

My mountain is Mt Wellington.

I belong to the Tongan race.

Plant sketch

I was able to sketch a plant using pencil. Then I used chalk on the pencil outlines. Next I used pastel to colour it in. Finally I used glitter to make my work look pretty.

How do plants grow?

 
The plant starts off as a seed.
Inside the seed is the embryo.
The embryo turns into a seedling and then into the plant.
Flowers produce seeds before they die. 

When seeds reach the ground new plants grow. 

All about me.

I am a boy.

I am a Tongan.

I have black hair.

I have brown eyes.

My favourite fruit is plum.
