First Step of Whakarua 3's Myth Artwork
We have been retelling some different New Zealand myths at writing time, so we are doing some artwork about the myth Battle of the Mountains. Yesterday we practised drawing one of the mountain characters on a whiteboard, and today we used pencil to draw the outline of our chosen characters. We focused on drawing lightly with pencil and making sure that the features were nice and big.
Here are some photos of the first step. Come back tomorrow to check out the next step of our artwork.
