Description and Message:

[Lorina]

You could explain to Toa about aboriginal art. Describe how aboriginals use symbols and patterns through their artwork to represent nature and use colours in nature too. Aboriginal artwork painters also use materials around them to paint such as sticks, bark rick etc, so that's why the painting may appear "different". You could also show her books on aboriginal artwork and include a lesson plan on the children creating their own aboriginal painting.
