Australian Art

PYP 3 students just finished up inquiring into Australian art and culture based on their current theme of "How We Express Ourselves." Their central idea was based on signs and symbols and how they can influence specific audiences.

The students learned about dream-time paintings and how they are used to tell a story. Their final project was to create an animal painting using the symbols observed in Australian dream time examples to tell their own story with a bright color palette.

I absolutely love the results! Lizards, turtles, and snakes were definitely a favorite with this class, can't you tell? Enjoy :)
