Lots of Dots....

Last year I taught a lesson about Aboriginal Art that I thought was very successful. We started by choosing an Australian animal to draw. Then we traced it on tooling foil. We colored with Sharpies and cut out. Then using construction paper crayons we added Aboriginal symbols. We finished with LOT OF DOTS (florescent paint).

Aboriginal Art

Today my 3rd graders worked on their Aboriginal art projects. We discussed Australia and how the Aborigines are the native people of Australia. We looked at various Aboriginal pieces and then they created their own. I gave out worksheets with Aboriginal symbols to help with ideas. We used construction paper crayons, and fluorescent tempera. Here are some works in progress....





Last year I did a similar, but more advanced project with my 5th graders. I will try to post that lesson plan soon.
