Australian Aboriginal Art

wiki definition:

 australian aboriginal art is art made by the indigenous peoples of australia

 and in collaborations between

indigenous australians and others.

create a journey or a story with symbols

that are relevant to your life.

                                 

in our sketchbook. we created icons or symbols 

of things we do everyday.

our goal: make a daily journey with those symbols. 

my artwork consists of the following:

my home

music

sunshine/sunsets

food

the library

netflix

money

reading

homework

driving

and my bed.

but in the middle of everything,

is my loving family.

through this project i learned that:

there are other ways to explain what you do everyday.

pictures can mean more than words

and they are sometimes more interesting.

why i did what i did:

my family has always been the center of my life.

an hour doesn't go past that i don't think of them.

it only makes sense to make them

the center of my journey.

this is a great way for:

~a teacher to learn more about their students and what's most important to them.~

~expressing every-day life~

~learning how to create and interpret symbols~

~learn about austrailian aboriginal artwork~
