Students began this painting project by exploring the traditional cave painting techniques of Australian Aboriginal artists.
Inspired by the use of natural pigments in ancient cave paintings, students experimented with creating their own painting pigments. Using only natural pigments and recycled paper, this project focused on highlighting sustainability and reducing the impact our actions have on the environment.
Students experimented with using pigments made from natural materials such as blueberry, pomegranate, strawberry, turmeric, tea leaves, coffee grounds, charcoal and graphite. To obtain a wider range of colours, students explored diluting and mixing the different natural pigments together.
