Making our own art in the style of John Pule

John Pule had painted a story about the move from one country to another - Niue and New Zealand and drawn all sorts of things to remind him of the place he had left.

We had to think and dream about a place we had been to and quickly record ideas. 

Next we used very fine brushes and sticks to dip into ink to paint our own story or journey. 

Diane showed us how to use the ink creatively. We could dip, add more water, blow, paint with the ink.
