Self Portraits - Part One

There was a few steps to be able to get to the final art piece.

First we placed a piece of paper over the top of an A4 head shot photo of ourselves, so that we could trace the outline of our head, faces and shoulders. We found it easier to lean on a window to be able to see the picture more clearly.

Next we went over the pencil with black sharpie.

Nature Trail

Did you know that we have a nature trail? 

It is by the Kauri classrooms and a track leads from the top of the hill down to Putikitiki. 

It is a beautiful place to sit, think, listen and sketch.

We wanted to soak in the experience of just relaxing and appreciating nature.

It is such an amazing view from the track down to Putikitiki.

The shapes that we notice are so striking. 
Do you know the names of any of the plants in the photos?
