2nd grade Aboriginal art

We learned about the Aboriginal people who are the native Australians. We looked at the art that they made and what made it stand out from art from other places. Aboriginal art is distinguished by the animal subject matter and line and dot patterns. They would often paint on the bark of trees.
We drew two animals and focused on the use of lines and dots in patterns. We colored with crayon in patterns, created a pattern border and painted over with brown watercolor.
