Aboriginal Dot Art Activity
Directions: Choose an animal that represents you! The animal can be real or from your own imagination. A fun way for you to get inspired is to take an online test to find your spirit animal. Search for spirit animal quizzes and try a few to help you determine an animal that’s like you (
Presentation and Grade
Students should present their finished painting to the class in a round table discussion group. They should be able to explain why they choose their animal and what their symbols represent.
A successful painting should have a pattern that uses the whole composition with lines going off the edge of the page, an explanation of their symbols, the appropriate use of warm earth colors and Dot Art techniques. A painting that goes above and beyond expectations would be a painting that has directional lines and symmetry.
-----------------------
Step 2: Draw one or two simple symbols that represent or relate to the animal, drawing outward from the center. Use the aboriginal symbol chart provided to choose symbols that fit your animal.
Step 1: Draw a picture of your spirit animal in the center of the paper. You can use a template or draw the animal by hand.
Step 4: Using coloring tools, color your design and spirit animal. If you want the art to look traditional, use two warm complementary colors such as red and yellow, orange and yellow or brown and red. Alternate the colors in a pattern.
Step 3: Repeat the symbols in an echoing pattern.
Step 5: Color dots alone the lines of your design and spirit animal. Choose two colors that you have not already used in the “under coloring”.
Example: This Dot Art painting of a deer represents an artistic, deep thinking personality. The triangular symbols represent the grass and natural habitat of the deer. The circular shapes symbolize the sun and the moon and the deer’s connection with nature.
