Week 7 was Tongan language week. To celebrate we made our own Tapa Art. We used brown paper and vivid dye.
The steps we followed
1 we researched our designs
2 sketched some ideas
3 created our final designs and used vivid
4 we scrunched up our paper and put dye on it
Over the past few weeks we have been making self portraits first we covered a wooden board in news paper . Then we found 10 words about us then we painted the boards I painted mine red and blue because they were already on the paint trey next to me. Next we put a layer of pastel on a photo of our self the we practised by getting a pencil and putting a piece of brown paper. Underneath the photo of our self then we pressed hard on the photo on every little detail after that it was time to do the proper one you grab your board and use your photo and layer it with pastel again and press hard and go over every detail again next you paint a shape of your choice and put it around the background of your board and then paint the background white. I think that my lower body went well and I found painting my face really hard.
