Every year, we get to do a couple of major art projects within the classroom (meaning, not during Arts Academy). This year, I chose to have the students do an Aborigines Dot Painting. Since we have been studying the American Indians in Social Studies, I thought it would be neat to study a similar kind of art from the Australian "First Nations" group.
It took a lot of patience at first to keep the painted dots in line. It was also difficult to make each dot a consistent size.
They all persevered and did a terrific job!
Some chose the sea turtle while others chose to do a hand print or a lizard.
We chose mostly "earth tones" for our colors which gave it an authentic feel.
Here are just a couple of finished samples.
