Aboriginal Dotted Art

The task for art was to create a story using Aboriginal art.

Aboriginal art comes from Australia. Most of Aboriginal art tells a story and people call these 'Dreamtime stories'. Dreamtime stories have what the Aborigines believe. We watched a video which was called 'How the kangaroo got its pouch'. It is a video that contains aboriginal symbols.

The first thing we did was practising the symbols using dots instead of lines. All of the symbols represent a thing. For example a circle with dots around it is a representation of a star. After practising the symbols we made our good copy.

Our good copy told a story that connected to us. We used paint and cotton tips to create the dots. The majority of the paint took most of the space on the paper.
