Through millennia, beyond constructed language, this project will encourage and foster a connection to humanity by third graders and the Aboriginal people in Australia. The act of mark making to tell a story has not changed, long before any form of communication had been standardized. Just as one reads classic literature and digs deeper into meaning and decode the language separated through time, in art this communication is visual and made my hand. The act of being able to create and tell a story of our own like others thousands of years before us and halfway around the world allows us to relate to and develop a global perspective needed in this interconnected world. Once we have looked with our eyes at images, putting ourselves in the place of the people then, empathizing with them and imagining life there and then, we can project and create and make our own marks for stories of our own to share of our time and life now. What would that look like? How will others interpret it? What mark can we make on the world? *This lesson comes through a lens set up of wanting to understand and connect as humans not take and appropriate a style or aesthetic for our own use. In our art class we recognize our power and our privilege.
