2nd graders enjoyed discussing Australia and it's native people, the Aboriginals. We looked at a variety of Aboriginal Dot Paintings and found animals and symbols inside them. Then we looked at pictures of animals that live in Australia such as Koalas, dingos, crocodile, porcupines and many more. After the children choose an Australian animal and started with a sketch, the next art class 2nd graders began to paint in the animal and background all while listening to the musical sounds of the didgerdoo. We looked at and talked about different aboriginal symbols, their meanings and added them to our art work to tell more of a story. The last step of this Art lesson was to add the dots. It was fun to explore another culture and Art style, of course the 2nd graders work is outstanding!
