Our Totem Poles

We are finished our first attempt at drawing totem poles. We hope you like them.

First we looked at pictures of totem poles in a park in Vancouver called, Stanley Park. Then we watched a video on how to draw totem poles. After that we drew our own following the instructions. We did this in our drawing books.

Then we drew them on an A4 paper. Andrea then photocopied them and enlarged them onto A3.

We chose bright colours as the totem poles we saw in Stanely Park in Vancouver were brightly painted.

Now we are creating our own personal totems.

Totem Poles

Today we learned all about Totem Poles found in Canada. We looked at some examples of totem poles all around Canada and we loved the ones found in British Columbia, which is on the West Coast of Canada.

We noticed that totem poles almost always have animals and people on them.

We watched a video on how to draw one and then did our own, step by step. We had to really concentrate in order to know where to put what.

We will post some pictures of our totem poles tomorrow once they are finished.
