Third graders have been busy learning about the art of different cultures around the world. Recently we studied origami from Japan and Aboriginal Art of Australia.
Origami Pictures
We used this website for lots of origami ideas: http://en.origami-club.com/easy/index.html
Students chose an Australian animal as the focus of their painting. Next they added dots, inspired by the Aborigines.
