Aboriginal Dot Painting

We are going to be learning about a style of art called Aboriginal (say "Ab" "Original") Art. Aboriginal people were the first tribes to live in the country of Australia. Many Aboriginal tribes still live there today. They have passed down the tradition of dot painting for thousands of years.

Aboriginal art uses symbols to communicate the artist's ideas to other people. For example, a symbol of a heart might mean love. Wavy lines might be a symbol for water. Most of us will trace our hands as a symbol for who YOU are!

Let's use this video to practice dot painting. We will use markers the first time we practice.

Now, create a plan for what your artwork will look like! Use pencil to trace your hand. Draw a few simple line patterns. Follow your lines with marker dots. Fill in the rest of your paper.

Watch 1 or both of these aboriginal dot painting videos for more ideas!

Day 2: Paint your background! Choose one color to paint your background solid.

Then we will add the outline of your hand using positive and negative space!

Day 3: Draw your design ideas LIGHTLY with pencil. Finish your artwork by adding lots of patterns using dots! Remember a pattern is something that repeats over and over again. Example, white dot, blue dot, white dot, blue dot...

Primary & Secondary Colors

Aztec Sun-Mexican Culture

Learning Goal: I can describe how art helps us understand other cultures.

An important symbol in many cultures during many years, and the national bird of our beloved Mexico.

The gods were portrayed, as were warriors and battles.

The frog represented joy. Butterflies symbolized transformation. The monkey represented dance and celebration. Combined with other symbols, a rich story could be told.

This giant representation of a calendar is not just one symbol but a collection of them. When most people think of symbols, they think of the famous "sun stone"

Here is what it might have looked like in it's prime with full color. Patterns of lines & shapes are it's most beautiful qualities.

Aztec's believed in the power of the sun. It was the center for life & the most used symbol for their art.

Culture: War was a big part of Aztec culture. Pretty much all boys were expected to be warriors.

Which two pictures of nature do NOT have Symmetry?

Symmetry kahoot!

Abstract Art: Usually no subject matter. It is just lines, shapes, and colors. The Abstract Art movement is called Abstract Expressionism because, although the art has no subject, it is still trying to convey some kind of emotion.
