explore ways that First Nations Australians use visual arts to continue and revitalise cultures

Elaborations

• 1 exploring the ways that a diverse range of First Nations Australian artists embed themselves and their communities in artworks in a range of representative forms as a visual declaration of identity, storytelling and resilience; for example, exploring representations of First Nations Australians as superheroes in comics and popular culture
• 2 exploring the ways that visual arts created by First Nations Australians may have multiple purposes; for example, art as cultural practice, art to communicate cultural understandings, or as narrative
• 3 investigating a range of site-specific artworks created by First Nations Australian artists, exploring how they communicate and celebrate cultural knowledge and understandings; for example, street artworks, murals and installations
• 4 using Viewpoints to question understandings about artists and artworks, and explore what needs to be investigated further, such as “What do I already know about this artist?”, “What do I need to learn to have a better understanding about this artist, their Country/Place and culture?”, “What knowledge can I share with others?”, “What questions would I ask the artist about this artwork?”
• 5 investigating how meaning and purpose are communicated in artworks and design created or co-created by First Nations Australians; for example, learning about how visual conventions are used in artworks and designs, such as textiles and fashion, to share cultural knowledge with the broader community
