Welcome Sign - City of Sails

 

This week we were asked to complete tasks that could be found on a matrix created by Ms Kirkpatrick. The activities all linked to our home the City of Sails (Auckland). For my first activity I decided to create a welcome sign that displays elements of Kiwiana and things that Auckland are famous for including the city. I used a Kiwi as the spokesperson of my sign as they are a symbol of New Zealand's wildlife. In the background you can see sail boats as a representation of Auckland. I really enjoyed kicking off this by creating a sign to welcome tourists of New Zealand. as I was able to bring my vision to life.
