2nd Grade Aboriginal Hands

Second Grade artists viewed and discussed the work of Aboriginal Artists in Australia. Students cut and glued three hands to black paper and added interesting line designs and Aboriginal symbols to the hands. The second week student began to make repeated paths of paint dots to recreate an aboriginal painting. This was my first time teaching this lesson, it developed over the weeks, but will be much better the next time I teach it! I love the colors of paint on the black paper, but would like to change the way the students design their hands in the future.
