Edward Saidi Tingatinga was born in Southern Tanzania on the border of Mozambique in a remote village called Ngapa. He

was a self-taught artist and did not start to paint until he was thirty six. His inspiration came from anything and everything

he saw around him: birds, animals, landscapes and village life. We hope you enjoyed creating an African Animal piece of art.

Task: This week we would like you to create your own piece of Tinga Tinga style art, using something from your house/

garden as a focus, just like Tingatinga did! Remember you need a:
