Unit Overview: Students will understand how to create Aboriginal-inspired dreamtime paintings using pointillism (dot painting), shape, line, and iconography. Students will learn about the history of Aboriginal dreamtime paintings and will choose a theme animal for their painting.
This is a second grade lesson I taught focusing on pointillism. Students learn about the history of Aboriginal dreamtime paintings and looked at original works of dreamtime paintings. Students then chose an Australian animal as a theme animal for their dot painting. Students learned how to layer primary colors to create secondary colors using pointillism. Students were taught Aboriginal symbols and their meaning. Students paired symbols with their animal and painted symbols on and around their Australian animal. Students also learned how artists finish a work of art by framing it. Students decorated their frame using Aboriginal iconography and attached their artwork to the frame individually.
