LI: To design our own matariki star, Making a star design to celebrate the importance of the matariki tradition.

First I had to think of a design to do, my design was based on the four elements and the sun and clouds. The sun of my design was representing as the brightest star and the star of growth and development. The clouds represent as the shelter of our country/world.

Secondly, I thought of my four elements and what I should try and make out of them, The four elements: Water, Land, Fire and lastly Air these elements are the importance of the whole world, this design was to show the importance of the four elements and supporting the matariki star tradition.

Lastly, Our class had to vote on who had the best star design, all of the designs were good because everyone tried there best at making theirs neat so people would like it and so we could decide on the  design they would paint.

I enjoyed this task because I got to create my own star design

I made a whale tail design.

First I drew my digital whale tail, And I used shapes I used the no symbol and the diamond symbol. I used these shapes and colors to represent what the color means. The colors I chose were black and orange.

The black side represents the whales declining more than their population, the orange side means they’re having a good life in the ocean. And the diamonds means the trash in the ocean.

Next I coloured in my art and wrote about what the things I was going to put in the whale tail. I wrote it so I can represent my whale tail.

Lastly I used my digital whale tail to put it onto a paper by practising drawing a whale tail. And I practised shading my whale tail. I drew a whale tail because whales are dying from declining and humans pouring oil in the water to kill whales.
