Year 8 PP that explores Aboriginal Art.
Suitable for any KS3 class.
This topics requires students to create a fact page, a boomerang design, a ‘dream time’ story painting and a traditional dot painting.
Powerpoint can last 6 weeks.
Contains visual examples, made by myself and students.
This was a mini topic that I did with a Year 5/6 class but it would work throughout Key Stage 2. It spanned two afternoon sessions and could easily be lengthened to create more of a topic. Pupils discover the key features of Aboriginal art and then go on to explore and record their own ideas before producing a final Aboriginal-style piece. Plenty of opportunity is given to evaluate their own and others work.
The resource includes:
Teaching plans for two lessons
PowerPoint presentation (15 slides)
Simple pupil planning sheet
Aboriginal symbols reference sheet
The topic provides good coverage of the 2013 National Curriculum for Art and Design (links are highlighted in bold on the planning). Planning and resource sheets are Word documents and fully editable.
Makes for a lovely display at the end!

This powerpoint uses a range of photographs found on the internet.
When I taught this lesson, I shared the images, talked about the range of animals which can be found in Australia and then laid out three long sheets of lining paper. Each child was given a thick paintbrush and a pot of paint (white, black, brown, orange, green, red and yellow).
The children walked around each sheet, making long snake-like patterns, surrounded by dots. Once the sheets had dried, they were used as backing paper for a display about Aboriginal Art.
I also gave the children a small canvas board. They planned their image and then painted an Australian animal - surrounded by concentric lines of differing colours.
Create your own Aboriginal Art style patterns and critical analysis of an artwork using the formal elements. A4 or A3 sized colour printing recommended. Please leave feedback if you download this resource.
Includes a power point and printable resources
