Manuka Sign

Today I was learning about plants in my school gardens. For this activity I had to find a Māori plant in my school garden then I had to find out what that plant was used for, I picked a Manuka, (Branches of Mānuka are burnt to create ashes and can be rubbed on your scalp to cure dandruff. Leaves can be put in a calabash with water and hot stones, and the liquid can be drunk to ease a fever.) then I had to plan my sign on my chromebook after that I had to paint a piece of wood for my sign, next I had to write on my sign with a paint pen, after that I had to nail it into the stick that went into the ground. I enjoyed painting my sign and I found it challenging to pick what plant to do. I would love it if you commented on My Amazing Portrait of Myself. click this link to read The Science of Rongoa, this link to view a site about Rongoa plants and link for a video of how to make a Rongoa garden.

Today I was learning how to shade using pencils. For this task I had to decide what nz bird I wanted to do, I chose the royal spoonbill. Then I had to trace it on the window, then once I had my bird traced I had to put shapes in the middle of my bird, next I had to shade in my shapes using the colours the photo of the bird had. After that I had to dye the background, the next step was to put little square crape paper around my bird, lastly, I had to outline my bird with a black pen. I enjoyed dying it because I felt calming and I found it challenging to trace the bird because I only had one try and I felt like I was going to mess up. I would love it if you commented on My speech about Why you need to like horses. this was my art.
