Hmm, the scans turned out a bit bright. You can't really make out the all-important additions by Acacia McFadgen (age 4) to Self-portrait as symbolist:
Not so sure about this one:
Nor this one:
But all this one needs is a bit more gouache at the bottom there:

"Stance" is my favourite in this group.
I like self portrait and stance the best.
david, in the one of the skeleton i would take the clouds away AND put a litlle more white in the yellow. what is the point off the clouds?
Direct and to the point criticism - that's what we like to see.
They're meant to be hills (taken from drawings made during Abel Tasman's voyage in 1642 - when NZ was discovered by Europeans for the first time). They're what the skeleton guy's taking a stance against (there's this dreadful emphasis on nationalism in NZ culture at the moment that I find deeply disturbing). Something like that anyway. I try not to worry too much about the point of things.
The yellow is a bit full on, but I kind of like it.
