Make art that expresses their love for the many
beautiful and different native birds we have.
Are inspired to make art that explores Māori myths
and tells stories of Aotearoa NZ’s history.
During our last lesson we learnt that artists in Aotearoa NZ…
Create art that expresses their own cultural heritage
and identity and memories growing up in Aotearoa NZ.
Are passionate about making art that reminds us to
take care of our native plants and animals.
Lets start this lesson by exploring

Drawing home / Step 2
Using a pencil draw your letter on a white A4
piece of paper.
When drawing your letter try to make it big and
in block writing. Block writing is good because it
helps make our letters stand out.
Drawing home / Step 3
Soon we will decorate the outside of our letter
with drawings showing the identity of Aotearoa
NZ.
Remember there are many things that we can draw to show
how unique Aotearoa NZ is or why we call it home, such as…
Māori culture and a mixture of different cultures.
Snowy mountains, calm lakes, sunny beaches, fun bush walks,
parks and camp sites.
Festivals, museums, different theme parks, wildlife parks, national parks,
and native plants and animals.
A place where our family and friends live.
