Aboriginal Dot Art

To enhance our studies of Early Settlers, we thought it would be fun to study the art of different groups of Aboriginals. For these dot paintings, students chose a symbolic animal -one with which they related or shared similar traits. We researched animal symbolism to help inspire us.

Students made a stencil, and coloured it in using black paint. They then created a design or pattern using only dots. These dots were made easier by the use of a Q-tips! The results were pretty amazing.
