Presentation Transcript

  1. Art Fest 2006 Art of Australia The art curriculum focuses upon diversity and rich education through cross curricular connections. In Art class students “continent-jumped” around the globe throughout the school year. In Australia we focused upon diverse life, geography, cultures, and beliefs through art. The theme of this year’s art show was selected by the 4th grade. • Kindergarten Funky Fish of the Great Barrier Reef • 1st Grade Australian Animals & Dot Painting • 2nd Grade Rock Art Hand Prints: Dot Painting & Dream Time Symbols • 3rd Grade Boomerangs: Dot Painting & X-Ray Style Painting, dream Time Symbols • 4th grade Dream Time Story Paintings • Studio Art Murals

  2. Aboriginal Dream Time Mural by 3rd/4th Grade Studio Art The Aboriginals are the 1st people to live in Australia. They believe in the Dream Time, which is a creation time when their ancestors roamed the earth and helped create the land, animals, and people. The Dream Time Stories use symbols to represent elements of the story and explain how something came to be.
