I chose to do the Venus of Willendorf (who I absolutely love <3) and then surround her with Aboriginal designs. I'm absolutely fascinated by this statue :o) I carved her figure into a foam board, then I made several prints on archival paper. Then spent the night painting Aboriginal styled designs around her :o)

The first red orange toned print I goofed up trying to touch up the print with black paint, and I had to paint in the arms. Its a shame because I loved! the way design around her turned out. So the green yellow toned print turned out so much better because I didn't touch the ink. I'm really happy with the results of this project! My Professor loved it too so she submitted it to be voted on!
Now we are working on our final project, everyone was to come up with their own project and lesson plan. I chose the Egyptian Mummy, specifically King Tut, but for the kids it would just be the mummy. I'm so excited about it! Its going to be alot of work, but I really think its going to be worth it!
