Kaya! Let's look at Lesson 4
In this lesson, you will listen to a Podcast about Aboriginal Ochre painting and explore the meaning within traditional artwork. You will then use the digital drawing tool to tell a story though your own artwork!​
In the final activity, you will watch a video to demonstrate how artwork can be created with ochre. Ochre is a type of clay that contains iron-rich minerals, these minerals are what give it its red, orange and yellow colours. Instead of using ochre, you can use your soil samples to create your artwork and label the story it tells. Upload your completed work through the upload link. ​​​​​
