The students in rooms 1, 2, 7, 16 & 26 viewed rock art created by Aboriginal people, that is estimated to be up to around 40,000 years old.  We then looked at the process in which paint was made from ochre and its application was studied. 

The students looked at the meaning of hands stencilled onto rock walls. We used our hands to create our own handprints and after learning about dot painting we painted dots in traditional colours, around our hands.
