For our next project, second graders will be introduced to the ancient art of Aboriginal Dot Painting. Students will discover the stories behind the old cave paintings and discuss the meaning behind the symbols. Students will use Aborigine symbols, as well as create their own symbols to complete a dot painting about themselves in the Aborigine style. Students will include a writing component with their completed composition in the form of an artist statement explaining the meaning of their symbols.
