Tapa Art # 1

We have discussed what things could be used as shapes and patterns for our Tapa designs. Flowers, fruit, shells, turtles and fish were some of the life forms that we decided would part of the natural surroundings in the Pacific Islands and good subjects for our art. Our first task was to create detailed sketches of these in order to simplify them into symmetrical shapes. We have been studying rotational symmetry alongside this in Maths.
