Platypus Gathering

for the Platypus

By Dylan, age 10

I wanted to show platypuses coming together and supporting each other to survive. I showed them moving together in a group to represent their strength and determination to survive. The water and plants create a natural environment where they can live. I used bright colours and flowing lines to make the platypuses stand out and show their movement. Through this artwork, I wanted to show the importance of protecting platypuses and their habitats so they can survive in the future.
