Silk Painting and Batik
Silk painting uses a combination of colour and resist techniques to embellish woven cloth of silk and cotton that came from India and China. Batik uses the tradtional wax resist while gutta is used to in more modern examples. Today the children used both techniques to create some amazing silk pictures.

Masks in Africa have great cultural and traditional significance. They are used during celebrations, initiations, crop harvesting, war preparation, peace and trouble times.

Dreamtime
According to Aboriginal belief, all life as it is known today can be tracked to the Dreamtime or the era of Creation. The events of this distant time have been passed down in the oral tradition of folklore and are still enacted in ceremonies that include dance in mime. The animals of Australia seem to be at the center of all Aboriginal art. The children created their own dreamtine art using pastels and tradtional dreamtime animals and symbols.
The land owns us; we don’t own the land. The land owns us; we don’t own the land.We are part of the land. From the time we are children we learn the songs and stories about the land. For thousands of years, these songs and stories have been part of the people’s oral tradition and beliefs.

Maori Totem
The Maori people of New Zealand construct a form of totem to celebrate their ancestors. The totem is a person's Guardian Spirit. The totem is a symbol of a Tribe, Group, Clan, or Family, similar to a Coat of Arms. The totem may also represent an individual. Often, it will represent an animal, a plant, an object of nature, a natural phenomenon, or creatures and beings from tales and legends. The children modelled their Maori Totems from cardboard tubes, newspaper and modroc using traditional Maori designs.
