Dreamy Dots & Designs
Try this new twist on traditional Australian Aboriginal art and have fun with lots of dots!
1. Traditional Australian Aboriginal art—like all art—uses designs and lines to represent ideas. Aboriginal art usually includes lots of dots. Many paintings show a very large bird or reptile. Try this technique, and maybe even an Australian theme with Crayola Color Explosion™ paper and color-reveal markers!
2. Use the color-reveal marker to outline anything you like! Inside this area, make small shapes or lines to show detail in a stylized way.
3. Fill in big background areas with long thin rectangles, lots of dots, and circles. Try making a repeated shape to frame the outside edge.
4. You could even make several and fill your room with color!
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
