Aboriginal Dot Paintings

We have been going on an adventure to learn about all different types of storytelling. Last week we learned about Australian Dreamtime paintings. The students created their own examples. Today we have done a gallery walk to post positive comments on our fellow students art with post it notes.


We also tried out todaysmeet.com for the first time. The students used the iPads to respond to:

How do you think we did on our dot paintings? Explain.

Here are some of their amazing responses:
