Learning with First Nations Artists - Years 1–2

Learn about Brian Robinson and Maree Clarke through checked museum sources, then make original art from everyday observations. Students compare contexts and media, ask careful questions, trial safe collage or cardboard printing, explain a deliberate visual choice and apply a respectful permission boundary.

Eight core 60-minute lessons complete teaching, making and assessment. Lessons 9–10 offer optional extension and sharing. Each lesson has its own complete editable PowerPoint. The unit provides drawing, speaking, pointing, partner support and adult scribing options.
