Art, Grade 7 , Q4, week 4 | Due: May 8: Aboriginal Story Art

Your Assignment: Create Aboriginal Story art by visually telling a story through symbolsYou have been learning about Australia in Social Studies. We are going to extend what you have learned in SS class in the art room. We are learning about Aboriginal art in Australia and how to make an aboriginal piece of art. Aboriginal people do not have a writing system so they communicate through patterns and symbols. See the links below to learn about how/why Aboriginal people make their artwork. These art works are made through a series of symbols and include dots, cross hatching, maps of circles, spirals, lines and dashes which make up the long established picture language of Western Desert Aboriginal People.

How will you do this?: Let's Create Our Own Aboriginal Works of Art!!Step 1: Please look at the links below before you start your project.Step 2: Pretend you are living thousands of years ago and need to create a work of art for your ancestors.Step 3: Choose at least 3symbols of the above ( or attached sheet) Aboriginal symbols to create a storyline.Step 4: On a piece of paper, write down the short story you are choosing to tell with your symbols. At least 3-5 sentences. You will be including this when you turn in the art. Write me a message when you turn it in or include it in your photo.Step 5: On a blank sheet of paper, draw the 3 symbols that you have chosen, and create patterns to tell your story using different lines, dots, cross hatches, maps of circles, spirals, dashes, lines, etc.Step 6: Once your lines are drawn, add color to them and/or glue down different colors of string or other materials over the lines to complete your work.Step 7: Make sure all your lines are completely covered in neatly, and you are only using the same colors you would see in nature to complete you work if possible.Step 8: Turn in your artwork AND the explanation of what the 3 symbols mean in your story.

Facts about Aboriginal art https://www.kateowengallery.com/page/10-Facts-About-Aboriginal-Art

What’s the BIG IDEA?/Why am I learning this: Art Standards: (grade 5-8 ) Anchor Standard 10: Synthesize and relate knowledge and personal experiences to make art. Act on creative ideas to connect personal experiences and knowledge to visually represent what people see, know, feel and imagine. Anchor Standard 11: Relate artistic ideas and works with societal, cultural, and historical context to deepen understanding. Reason effectively to understand the role of art as an essential aspect of history, society, culture and human experience.

PROJECT: Make Aboriginal image from symbols and story art

Materials: Paper, pencil, coloring materials, paint (optional) q-tips or paint brush (optional), glue & scissors (optional), string (optional) , Aboriginal symbol sheet (or internet search)

How to turn in: Take a photograph of your artwork and turn in via Google Classroom OR if you don’t have access to Google Classroom, email it to Mrs. McCormick: [email protected]

Pg 1 of 6

Aboriginal Symbols: You will be choosing at least three from what you see here and what you saw on the lesson page. Then build a story around those symbols and create your image.

Art, Grade 7 ,Q4, week 5| Due: May 15 Australian Rain Stick and Aboriginal design

Your Assignment: Make an Australian Rain stick with an Aboriginal design on itA rain stick is a long, hollow tube partially filled with small pebbles or items that has small pins or branches arranged on its inside surface. When the stick is held up or down, the items fall to the other end of the tube, around the pins and thorns to make a sound like rain falling. The rain stick is believed to have been invented in Chile and was played because they believed that it could start rainstorms. Rain sticks are usually made from different long thin species of cactus. The cactus, which are hollow, are dried in the sun. The spines are removed and then hammered into the cactus like nails. Pebbles or other small objects are placed inside the rain stick to baffle the sound, and the ends are sealed. The sound is similar to falling water when the rain stick has its direction changed. Similar instruments can also be found in Southeast Asia, Australia and Africa, where it is often made using bamboo rather than dried cactus.

How will you do this?: For this project we are making functional art. We are going to construct a musical rain stick of our own. I don’t think any of us have access to dried cactus or bamboo, so we will be using alternative materials that you can find at home. Please see the Materials list below. If you do not have the materials listed, think about what you can use to make this simple instrument. If you have a difficult time, please ask me. Step 1: Use a paper towel tube or plastic wrap/foil paper tube and wrap a piece of paper around it to cover the entire tube. Step 2: Gather items that are small and noisy like rice, dried beans, small rocks, dried pods, parts of pinecones, etc. Step 3: Put one 6” piece of paper at the end of the tube and either tape it down or use a rubber band to secure it. You can cut the edge of the 6” paper to make fringe if you like. Step 4: Add the pipe cleaner made into a spiral into the tube. If you don’t have a pipe cleaner you can use a small branch that has other small branches on it and put it in the tube. Then add your noisy items. You will need about ½ cup (or more) of these noisy things. Step 5: Put the other 6” piece of paper at the other end of the tube and secure it with tape or rubber bands. If you don’t have tape or rubber bands you can use a hair tie or string (tied really tight). Step 6: Since you learned about aboriginal designs earlier in the quarter, think of some of the native animals to Australia and use dots, cross hatching, maps of circles, spirals, lines and dashes to create that animal on the paper that you put on the tube. You can just draw/color or use paint if you have it. Put your finishing touches on it by adding some string around it for decoration (or a handle). Step 7: After the paint has dried (if applicable) play your rain stick by gently turning it around. The noisy items should gently fall on the branch or pipe cleaners and make a soft rain sound. If you do not like the sound, open it up and add more/less noisy items or branches/pipe cleaners. Have fun!Here’s a link about Aboriginal art if you need a refresher. https://www.aboriginal-art-australia.com/aboriginal-art-library/the-story-of-aboriginal-art/

PROJECT: Make an Australian Rain Stick with an Aboriginal design

Materials: Paper towel tube (or plastic wrap/foil core tube/Pringles can), 2 rubber bands or tape, 1 pipe cleaner that you can coil in a spiral or branch, small noisy things like pebbles, dried beans, rice, or dried cereal, etc., 2 6” squares of paper, string (optional).

Pg 4 of 6Art, 7th Grade , Q4, week 6 | Due: May 22 Mystery Grid Drawing

Your Assignment: Draw the Mystery Drawing from the secret gridThis is a mystery drawing and I’m super excited for you to try it. You will not know what the final outcome will be unless you follow the directions. Usually when you are drawing on a grid you look at a picture with a grid on it and then look at each square and then draw what’s in each square on a separate piece of grid paper.

For the mystery drawing you have a page that has grid coordinates and images with labels that have numbers and letters. You also have a separate piece of labeled grid paper that you will need to print out and do the drawing on.

How will I do this: Step 1: Print out the blank grid piece of paper. If you don’t have a printer, use a piece of paper and a ruler to make your own grid on copy paper. Step 2: Look at the mystery grid page with the black/white images on them. Draw each of the images in the boxes on the blank piece of grid paper. Follow the order from the top left of the mystery grid page to the bottom right in order to keep the drawing a mystery. See the above photo if you are having trouble understanding these directions. Step 3: Take a photo of your completed mystery grid drawing when you are done with your name at the top.

What’s the BIG IDEA?/Why am I learning this: Art Standards: (grade 5-8 ) Anchor Standard 7: Perceive and analyze artistic artwork. Analyze components in visual imagery that convey messages and compare personal interpretations.

Materials: paper, pencil, printer (ruler (optional)

The Koala Search

The Koala Search

Chris Jozefowicz

WR News heads down under to find out what scientists are doing to save Australia's koalas.Koalas are pictured everywhere in Australia-on cleaning

products, on boxes of chocolate, on sports team jerseys. Yet the animals live only in pockets along the east coast.

The marsupials once inhabited the entire coastline. (A marsupial is a mammal that typically carries its young in a pouch.)

The koala population dropped after farmers cut down many of the forests where koalas lived and hunters killed the animals for their fur.

By the early 1900s, "koalas were basically shot out of south Australia," says ecologist Bill Ellis. An ecologist is a scientist who studies the relationships among living things and their environments.

I recently joined Ellis and his team in a forest on St. Bees Island, 19 miles off the northeastern coast of Australia, with eight other volunteers. The island is a natural laboratory, yielding findings that may help protect koalas elsewhere on the continent.

The Koala Search

Photo by Chris Jozefowicz

The volunteers combed the island for koalas in the blue gum trees. When we found a koala, we gathered information about the trees in the area.

Blue gum is a species of eucalyptus tree in which the furry leaf eaters spend most of their time. Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, and their leaves are the main food source for koalas. Although koalas can walk on the ground, they are better suited for life in the canopy, the high cover of branches and leaves in a forest.

Goat Trouble?What has Ellis's research told him so far? The St. Bees population seems to be healthy. Yet Ellis wonders whether the koalas might be heading for hard times. The island is overrun with wild goats, and Ellis thinks the goats are eating the small blue gum trees.

Without those trees, the koalas will run out of food in the future. Ellis hopes more research will help him understand how to protect the blue gums-and the koalas that depend on them. "I think that's what everyone is trying to do-to make a difference," Ellis says.
