This document discusses a journey of self-discovery through art. It begins by explaining how people navigate physically through transportation but also navigate internally. The reader is embarking on navigating themselves through creating art. Paddles from waka are used as a symbol for motivation. Traditional and contemporary Maori artists decorate paddles with symbolic designs that represent themselves and their culture. The document encourages the reader to create their own decorated paddle or oar that represents who they are through images and patterns. It discusses developing art skills to represent yourself through this project.

Shade in your grid from left to right.
Each number from 1 – 10 represents the layers of applied pencil used to make
the shades of tone.
Example:
1 = 1 layer of pencil
2 = 2 layers of pencil
3 = 3 layers of pencil
When drawing in tone consider the direction of the light. For instance
Look at the right side of the red apple in the picture. It is a dark tone
or shade of red. The lightest part of the orange apple is
the front as this is the lightest shade of orange.
Colour the tone sheet with graded tones then generate one tonal image.
