Continuing and Revitalising Cultures - Years 5–6

Explore how First Nations artists sustain and renew cultural practices through a structured Years 5–6 Visual Arts unit. Students study public museum sources about Maree Clarke and Brian Robinson, explain claims with evidence, experiment with safe mixed media and make an original response from their own personal or fictional ideas.

Eight core lessons complete the essential teaching, practical work and assessment. Two fully planned optional lessons extend an original process study and share learning. Each of the ten lessons has its own complete editable PowerPoint presentation; lessons 9–10 are clearly labelled Optional.
