Poupou art

This week in Te Ngahere we have been doing art. I have been learning how to draw a poupou. A poupou is a taniwha that supports each hapu around a whare. In class we had to follow these steps on how to draw the poupou. Once we have drawn our poupou we then went on drawing something that our poupou could hold unless we chose to draw nothing for it to hold. We also had to draw patterns that relate to something about us or just draw random patterns. Then we got to pick coloured pastels to blend in on our poupou. I enjoy doing this art because I like to get creative and its fun. I have finished my practise art and already started my real copy but I just need to focus and not talk to people. Would you like to draw a poupou ? Here is a photo of my real copy.
