After researching Aboriginal Art, please create 3 quick sketches of 3 different ideas.
You will need a background design and a focal point design (see the examples below)
Background Ideas - animal tracks, Australian symbols, pathways, circles, etc. dot patterns
You will need a background design and a focal point design (see the examples below)
Background Ideas - animal tracks, Australian symbols, pathways, circles, etc. dot patterns
Focal Points - kangaroos, platypus, lizards, snakes, dingos (animals native to Australia), boomerangs, plants native to Australia, fish, Australian symbols, etc. OR other organic objects/animals from nature.
Final Design
The directions are listed below. If you have an idea that reflects Aboriginal Art, but doesn't follow the criteria, see me and we can discuss.
Directions
1.Show me your final quick sketch for your project.
2. Lightly draw the background on your paper. We are going to paint dots on the lines so don't make them too dark.
3. The dots will be made using different size items, like the handle end of paint brushes, wood applicator and toothpicks. The shapes and lines will be painted with a regular paint brush.
4. Paint your background shapes first. The entire paper should be filled.
5. The focal point will be painted last. The focal point should not be a rectangle or a square but something from nature or organic. Don't be afraid to use aboriginal symbols and patterns (image above). The more authentic the better your piece will look.

Helpful Links:
Plan your colors. Analogous colors (colors side by side on the color wheel) work well, or you can use a color scheme generator (see links below). The design will be created using dots of different sizes, painted shapes, and painted lines. You should plan sizes as well as colors. One of these designs will become your final piece.
