Our amazing art is based on the New Zealand Artist Warren Pohuta. Warren Pohatu is a graphic designer and artist with a strong passion for his culture. Originally from the east coast of the North Island, Warren is a member of the Ngai Tamanuhiri tribe, with links to Ngati Porou, Ngati Kahungunu, Rongowhakaata and Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki. We were inspired by his colourful images of many of our special creatures that inhabit New Zealand.
- We had to plan and sketch our ideas in pencil first.
- We focused on getting the big image proportioned.
- Next we added in some of the finer detail ideas on our plan.
- Then we began our final copy taking care not to press the pencil to hard.
- We outlined in sharpie, adding in all the black details.
- Finally we put all the pastel colour onto the paper. We had to think carefully about colour tones that contrast and /or complement each other.
- Lastly we had to either go over with black pencil, or scratch out some of the pastel to add extra detail..
