Me and Punk and Mom (not dad because he was at work), were studying Australia and we did a painting like they did. It was really fun. First we thought of a nature shape - like a snake and a leaf for instance (that's what I did). We drew a sketch of it, then we outlined it with a black sharpie. Then we put stripes and designs in our leaves and snakes. Then we put little dots all over with Q-tips (we don't think the Australians and Maoris used Q-tips - we think they used their fingers) But we didn't dot around and make it silly - we had to trace one line around the leaf and one around the snake, and when it got squishy we had to trace around BOTH of them.
Punk made his of a turtle and a sun I made mine of a snake and a leaf (I know I already said that). It took a VERY long time to finish it - it ALMOST took the whole day. When Dad saw it, he was pretty amazed.
It was so amazing - you wouldn't believe how pretty it turned out - someday you should come see it.

What a neat project! I can't wait to see them in person. They look spectacular in a photo. I hope you have a good place to hang your artwork. Pretty soon you guys are going to need a studio to work in!
Wow, your art looks just like actual Maoris did them! It sounds like this kind of art work takes a lot of patience. Both pictures are really beautiful -
