Kimberley Rock Art is a fascinating sequence of artistic expressions left by Australian Aboriginal people over the last 40,000 years.

This set of art projects incorporates painting, oil pastels, printmaking and carving to study six different artists in Canada who identify as First Nations or Métis through creating a piece of art inspired by George Littlechild, Bill Reid, Dana Standinghorn, Jason Carter, Benjamin Chee Chee and Leah Dorian. This inspiring product includes: six different art projects (each one can usually be completed within a few hours from start to the end of clean-up). complete lesson plans with step-by-step instructions with modifications to differentiate for your students (or your available supplies). photographs of student examples. reflection pages for students in English and French. instructions to minimize prep work and clean up. art projects designed for the "not-an-art-teacher" generalist. Take a look at the preview for a materials list. Two of these projects include studying the work of the artist from their books. While the lessons can be done without these books, they certainly enhance the quality of the lessons. If you cannot find the exact titles, any work illustrated by these artists can work (and the books make a wonderful addition to any collection). What is the Most Wonderful Thing About Horses? by Richard van Camp The Giving Tree: A Traditional Métis Story retold by Leah Dorian. Their books are available in most public libraries or online. The painting project inspired by Metis Artist Leah Dorian can be found in our store for free.

Jean Baptiste Apuatimi, Tiwi Islands The exposure of Aboriginal art to the West had its inception at the aboriginal community of Papunya in the Western Desert of Central Australia. Just like the vivid wildflowers that fill the local ochre terrain in the middle of winter, their art was a rare juxtaposition adapted from the Australian landscape. Although the indigenous art was originally developed for body painting, bark & cave art and ceremonial ground paintings, once the Papunya artists were introduced to canvas and tube paints in the 60's, they quickly adapted to the new medium. Many of the key

Often depicting stories from the Dreamtime, the art style incorporates the use of many media and techniques including dot and x-ray painting, rock and bark painting, sculpture and fibre arts to name just a few. This week we've explored just a small part of this rich culture, looking at examples of paintings of native Australian animals by indigenous artists using the dot and x-ray techniques. After discussing color, texture and pattern, we used white color sticks on colored paper to first draw our animals in outline. We then thought about where we thought the internal organs of the animal might be, and drew them in with lots of pattern. It is important that our lines are drawn very firmly. From there we considered the background patterns of our pictures, using flowing lines to divide the background into interesting shapes. We then added more color in linear pattern or solid blocks of color. I didn't restrict the student's use of color at all, but did talk to them about the effectiveness of a limited color palette. Finally, students used the ends of paint brushes dipped in white acrylic to carefully apply dots of white along the major lines of their backgrounds and, if they chose, around their animals.
