This set of resources if for a 6 week project on Aboriginal Art. By the end of the project your students will have created a beautiful painting which includes Aboriginal symbols to tell a story. The project would be perfect for Y7 students - as this is who I created it for. It would also be appropriate for Y5/6 or even Y8 students. Equipment needed: A3 card or heavy weight paper, poster paints, brushes The slideshows include leveled (National Curriculum) examples to inspire your students and also help them grade their own work. This will also help them know what to do to their work to improve it up to the next level. This resource package includes assessment sheets to print off as well as mini plenaries and step-by-step instructions. You will need to create some simple Australian animal outlines like the ones shown and photocopy these on to A3 card - unless your students are more able and feel confident to draw their own outlines. There are many printable outlines if you search on Google images. Make sure you refine your search to “large” images so they are good enough quality to print on to A3. Hope you find this useful.

A set of 5 different high quality images for students to choose from if you wish. Or use them on different occasions.

Set of 12 Art homework sheets for KS3 students. I created these for my Art Department and we set 1 task per term for year 7 & 8 students. This is enough for a whole academic year if you choose to do the same. Each task includes its own set of success criteria and space for students to self-assess. These tasks are designed in order to develop students’ art skills at home. Skills include drawing, art analysis and designing. The worksheets can be printed on A3 or A4. I chose to use A4 simply as this was more portable for my students. The worksheets look great on display when printed.
