NAIDOC Week 2019
For the past three weeks, the Year 6 boys have worked together to produce a collaborative artwork for NAIDOC week, which happened during the school holidays. NAIDOC is a celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The purpose of this collaborative work was to encourage boys to work together as a team for something greater. This artwork was difficult, as each boy had to make his best effort so that the piece could work. Furthermore, using Indigenous artistic techniques and symbols in their work posed a particular challenge for them.
Many of the boys were unsure of how they felt about their work. How-ever, the beauty of collaborative work lies in the fact that the final piece is always better when everyone contributes. The artwork looks fantastic and I cannot wait to display it in the Primary hallway!
