effort to be available for help from both groups.

outdoors. What resources will you need to have prepared?

Students will learn the uses of art in the Aboriginal communities and
brief meaning of these art works. Students will also gain knowledge of
the use of colours of these art works and why they come from earthly
colours.

This lesson will be taking place inside in which they will begin on the floor and then
more to their desks to complete worksheet

task. Students will also be assessed on their ability to recognize art work of the Aboriginal community which observational notes will take place.
