Australian Aboriginal Dot Paintings

Aboriginal Dot Painting
At the beginning of third quarter, sixth grade students learned that Australian Aborigines, the oldest known continuous culture in the world, are famous for their dot paintings.  Many dot paintings feature a "totem," an animal that serves as the artist's good luck symbol.  Sixth graders chose an animal for their "totem" and used tempera paint and q-tips to create an Aboriginal dot painting.
