Aboriginal Turtles

2nd graders learned Aboriginal Art through a Power Point I created. We looked at lots of paintings, mostly of animals. I had students trace a circle on their paper with white oil pastel, then add 4-5 wavy lines. First they filled in their turtles with dots using Q tips. They had to create a pattern with the paint colors given. When the turtle was filled in, they moved onto the water, I limited the water color choices to blue, purple, and white.
