Third graders started this project by looking at images of real Aboriginal paintings to inspire poetic writing. They then chose an animal tracer to begin their own artwork. I am generally opposed to having anyone beyond Kindergartners use tracers, but I feel that this project is different since the focus is definitely placed on color and pattern choices. It also gives everyone a good foundation and a quick start. Students then chose how to fill out their negative space with dots. The dots were created by dipping colored pencils into tempera paint. Once that was done, they were free to fill their animal with color however they chose.
