Discovery is Year 5's topic for Spring 2: exploring Australia, New Zealand and beyond. As part of our cultural appreciation for the continent, the children tried their hands at creating their own aboriginal-inspired artworks. Taking inspiration from existing pieces, the children selected earthy shades and mapped out a piece that incorporated their own hand print. After a lot of dedicated dotting, the results look fantastic.
