Now who would have thought Zoe would learn about Aboriginal art in Singapore.... not me! The french school! took each class of Zoe's year to an Art Gallery who specialise in Aboriginal paintings and artwork. At the gallery, the children were introduced to Aboriginal art, and told how the painting often told a story. Different dot patterns resembled different things - water holes, emus, dingos, women, kangaroos, etc - similar to a language. The children were then invited to create their own 'story' in paint using the Aboriginal symbols. These 'works of art' were then displayed at the Gallery for a week for the families to come and visit. This is a picture of Zoe and her artwork.
The teachers will pick the paintings up from the gallery next week and give them to the children to bring home. What a brilliant excursion!
