My MAGNIFICENT Hoiho artwork

Fun new activity in art!!! Two weeks ago in Ruma Rua we have been doing art of New Zealand native birds like the Tui, Fantail and Kiwi. We each had to choose a bird to draw I picked the Hoiho also known as in english yellow eyed penguin. Here's a very interesting fact about them. Did you know that the colour yellow in there eye is caused by a chemical called carotene which is also high in vitamin A? In the past few weeks in our class we have been learning about geometric shapes in maths. So we decided to draw geometric shapes inside our NZ native bird drawings. For the background we used a circle to make a moon in the back of our birds to make the legs, head or body stand out. What is your favourite NZ native bird tell me in the comments? Then we had to colour the background using a cue tip to go around the moon because if you use a paint brush it can get in the moon and for the rest after using the cue tip do it with a paint brush so it will be quicker. Tell me in the comments if you like my artwork...!!!
