Reflection of Work
• What animal did you decide on and why?

are technically a New Zealand bird they are also a staple in Australian art, history and life.
• What did you use to create your artwork?
At first I started doing a mixed media art piece using acrylics, watercolour pencils, pens and
markers, and oil pastels. I then shortly realised that it using all of these materials would be very
time consuming or wouldn’t look as nice as I hoped. So instead I used alcohol markers.
• What symbols have you used? Do they tell a story?
I used a lot of animal tracks and stars to symbolise when living things die they become stars, as
this was a very common aboriginal belief. I also used a lot of campsites to symbolise the fact that
humans hunt and slaughter animals. The story is that the kiwi is sad because its family has
