Do you love to draw, paint and make things?
Artists love to create. They make drawings, prints, paintings, sculptures and other things for us to look at.
The decorative patterns and shapes or waterways, aquatic plants and wildlife have inspired Asian artists for hundreds of years.
Look at these Asian artworks from the Art Gallery of New South Wales collection, become an artist and create your own artwork inspired by nature and water.
Many of these artworks use curving lines and bold silhouettes to represent the swirling effect of water, or the undulating shapes of riverbanks and shorelines.
Patterns, textures and colours are combined to create harmonious compositions and aquatic motifs are often repeated for decorative effect.
Make your own aquatic artwork that combines curving shapes, bold silhouettes and repeated motifs.
Remember, you are the artist so you can decide on the colours, the shapes and what your artwork will look like.
