First, Mrs. Epstein showed us a movie about Australia and their visions about how their world began.   We had to take notes and write down symbols.  Then, we had to pick an animal from the Outback to draw. We also had to write a story about our animals.  When we picked out our animal and wrote our story, we had to get a picture of your animal.  Then, we got 18 inches by 24 inches of black paper.  Next, we got sponges and dabbed the sponges in the paint and put it on the paper.  Then, we made our stencils of animals.  When they were good enough, we cut them out and traced them with chalk. We painted inside the chalk with black Indian ink.  After that, we found symbols of the Pupunya, Kunwinjku,and Gagudju people that we used in our story and drew them on the animal with white and terracotta pencils.  We found other symbols that we wanted to use and put those on the animals, too. Then, we typed out stories and included the symbols in them.
    We hope that you enjoy our pictures and stories!
