Aboriginal Art: Angeline Eskelsen ART 3700 Lesson Plan 3-Integrated

This lesson plan teaches 1st grade students about Aboriginal art. Students will learn about the history and symbols of Aboriginal art from Australia and create their own art piece using dot painting techniques. They will trace their hands onto paper and use paintbrushes to apply three colors of tempera paint in a dot pattern. The next day, students will add a background design using pencil and white paint. Finally, they will fill the rest of the paper with dots in a contrasting color. The teacher will assess students halfway through and ask them to reflect on their artwork at the end of the lesson.

In a nutshell:
1. First, we talk a little about the history of Australian dreamtime painting
and Aboriginal art.
2. Next, we talk about how we could make it our own.
3. Then students trace their hand with pencil onto black 8x8 paper.
4. They begin by choosing 3 colors of paint and use those for the hand. We
dot paint with the back of a paintbrush or pencil eraser.
5. Next day when the hands are dry, students draw a simple background
design with pencil and use white tempera for the designs dots.
6. Finally, they choose a background color, that is different from their other
colors, and fill in the rest of the space with more dots.

Assessment:

I think halfway through I would give the students an opportunity to make a


formative assessment. I would tell them to put their hands behind their
back and walk around the classroom to see others artwork to give them
more inspiration and ideas. Then at the last five minutes of class time, I
would talk as a class about how they think they did. I would ask them what
they struggled with, what color of paint they loved to use, what they would
do different next time, and what was their favorite part.
