Maui Ki Te Waipounamu Jar-Ivy
For my scene in a jar I decided to do when the two taniwha (which were represented by a Bronze Whaler and Great White Shark) were swimming and playing around. The hardest challenge I faced was drawing and colouring the Bronze Whaler and Great White Shark. My biggest success was finally figuring out what to use as the water and successfully drawing the sharks.
Three facts about Maui are…
- Maui’s mother (Taranga) wrapped him in her topknot and cast him into the ocean when he was an infant.
- Maui hauled up a massive fish while in his waka, this fish soon became the North Island of NZ and his waka the South Island.
- With his brothers Maui slashed the sun using just a net and his magic jawbone, causing it to travel at a slower rate.
