The backdrop of Ululu, or Ayers Rock, was painted in acrylic on canvas by Leah Milner from La Swap Sixth Form. Pupils visited Australia Dreaming, an exhibition at the Commonwealth Institute in 2000 and I was inspired by work in the Hayward Gallery exhibition Aratjara: Art of the First Australians, 1993.

Pupils made dot paintings, decorated commemorative funerary poles, made papier-mâché masks and animal pots, and sent digital postcards of themselves photographed against the backdrop with aboriginal artefacts such as rain sticks and didgeridoos.

ICT suggestions

Digital postcards, digital dot paintings, interactive exercises, internet research, multimedia presentation,  contextual activities with an interactive whiteboard.
