My Tapa Design

First we planned for the drawing that we do ,we can do four different designs or one big designs. I choose to do four different designs. The first one I did was the Ikale Tahi which is a eagle, Ikale Tahi in tonga,its a tongan rugby team and in english its  a eagle.

My second choice was the Fa’a lau paogo which is a flower,not a daisy or a sunflower its a flower that comes from Samoa. Fa’a lau paogo is Samoan for a particular type of pandanus.

My third choice was Fa’a tuli which is a bird,its a  Sandpipers,Sandpipers is a large family of waders or shorebirds. They include many species called sandpipers, as well as curlew and snipe. Sandpiper are mostly seen at the beach,looking for food.

And my final and very last is a Hala Paini which is a tree. Hala Paini is the motif representing the Norfolk Pines that line the street to the Royal Palace of Tonga. Hala Paini originate from Norfolk Island which is located in between Australia, New Caledonia and New Zealand.

And that was it,I thank Miss paget for letting us do art,and teaching me things I never knew about art. A big thank you to Miss Paget.
