Description
Ready to ignite your elementary art curriculum with an engaging, no prep multicultural art project? This Aboriginal art lesson will boost student confidence and creativity. Kids will love learning about folk art, folklore, and how to make a painting with only dots. Moreover, they’ll enjoy learning about the common characteristics of Aboriginal artwork.
And, it’ll help time-starved teachers like you create art lesson plans based on the rich history of Australia.
During this art project, your class will learn about natural pigments used to make paint. They’ll learn how people created paintings on tree bark, too. Students will create a dreamtime painting from many dots of tempera paint using the step-by-step guide and PowerPoint.
Plan lessons for students about Aboriginal art history in a way that excites them. Finally feel confident in your art curriculum and be organized and prepared to teach art!
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Can I be honest with you? Art history can sometimes be boring for kids. There, I said it. Teaching about artists and cultures doesn’t have to be a snoozer, though!
I’ve designed 3 different ways for students to attempt this dream painting. All will engage kids to create! Choose which way works best for your classes:
- Roll a dice game to add randomness to your student’s artwork
- “You Pick” idea worksheet for kids to choose their own elements
- Digital spinner wheels, so kids can randomly pick elements and you can integrate technology in the art room
- Printable dice template in case you have no dice
- Step-by-step picture directions to guide students through the art process
- Drawing practice worksheet, for kids who want to sketch out their ideas
- Aboriginal art history handout about the unique art of this country
- “Big Ideas” reflection worksheet where students write about their art process
- Self-assessment worksheet so kids can think about how they performed during the project
- Art grading rubric which assesses expectations, craftsmanship, work habits, creativity, and clean-up
- 8 “I CAN” Statements aligned to the Studio Habits of Mind to use during instruction or post on your bulletin board
- 4 Art exit tickets with quick, thought-provoking prompts
- Art history coloring pages to keep kids inspired by the history from down under outside of the art room
YOU WILL RECEIVE
- 1 Non-Editable Printable PDF (Aboriginal Art History Project)
- 1 Non-Editable PowerPoint
- 5 Digital Spinner Videos (downloadable, and links to them on Google Slides and YouTube)

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The roll an Aboriginal symbol game provided a great hook to create artwork and would also make a great lesson to leave for a relief teacher.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What a great way to help the children understand the meaning behind the symbols in Aboriginal Art and create their own designs at the same time!! I know you recommend it for upper but my year Ones loved it. Thanks!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Purchased for NAIDOC Week but then didn’t need it as I had a parent come in and makes axes but what a GREAT thing to have up my sleeve to embed in my teaching throughout the year instead of just during special Indigenous event times.
