Last Friday we explored Aboriginal Culture during three workshops with Janette (provoking the children to think about culture and music), Simone (investigating Aboriginal Art) and Rita (discovering Dreamtime stories).
Throughout Simone's workshop she took photos of some students working collaboratively to explore some Aboriginal Paintings based on their own interpretations and from symbols we read about in a big book. Students also tried to figure out whether their painting was depicting Ancestors, the land and its connection to life, or humans and nature.
Hearing the children discuss these paintings and explain their interpretations was fascinating and they found some very subtle symbols in the paintings. Have a look at how we collaborated, explored, applied our new knowledge, shared, and reflected:
