ART

In art we create a lot of beautiful pieces. The project we are working on now is dot paintings. A dot painting is a painting modeled after an animal, you use dots to fill in the background or inside of the animal’s body. These animal’s come from the Aboriginal people. The Aboriginal people come from Australia. They design patterns to represent their people and beliefs. They also use bright colors to represent the earth and the sun. These are the steps you would need to follow:
Pick an animal, then sketch it on paper to plan out your drawing, next draw it again on a new piece of paper, lastly start painting(with bright colors) and when your background is fully painted, your finished and you can hang it up!

  7. I can't wait to see all of your pieces. They sound very interesting-not your average art project. It sounds like you not only learned a new art technique but you also learned about a group of people living thousands of miles away from Reading, MA, USA.
