Third Grade Aboriginal Bark Paintings
Students in third grade viewed and discussed Artwork by the Aboriginal people of Australia. We used their work to inspire our bark paintings. To begin with, thanks to Harris Teeter for donating the bags for this project! We used brown grocery bags and tore around the edges to get an organic shape. We then chose an animal to feature in the center of the "bark". Students chose 4 aboriginal symbols to add to their picture, trying to tell a short story with the symbols. We then completed these by adding repeated paths of dots in a variety of colors around the designs. I am truly wowed by how awesome these turned out! Great work third grade!
