Ambassadors Slide Show

Hi my name is Toa and this is my ambassador Slide Show. I have all the reasons why I want to be an ambassodar and I even added some funny bloopers to the end of why. I want to be an ambassodar because I might have a better career living onwards even in my college life. Also I would have more friends like Jin, #My bff. That is my Ambassadors application. Thanks for considering me, Mr Somerville.

My art Work (Extension)

 

This term in extension we had to create your own piece of artwork.It needed to represent you and all of your culture and i tried to use like a moody background. I like my taniwha for some reason it looks cool even with the patterns in it and the koru patterns on my border.my Tuna is really cool i like it because i think it really represents my culture the most and how it stands out with all the other drawings.Now my sun it looks so amazing with all the blending colours inside of it and the wind sort-of patterns just make a wow facial when i see it.The thing that stands out the most is the spongebob squarepants buildings with  all of the colours inside of it.Hope you enjoy my artwork =)
