Telling Your Story with Digital Art

Do you use emojis? What do you use them to say? With over 3200 digital emojis there must be one for everything and everyone! More emojis continue to be added to reflect the rapid evolution of language. Joel Liddle Perrurle is an Arrernte man from Central Australia who saw that Aboriginal perspectives were not adequately represented in emojis. Liddle worked alongside arts producer Caddie Brain and organised a young team to create 90 new emojis that reflect Aboriginal cultural meanings and messages, bridging the digital divide in some of the most remote communities. In this lesson, you’ll learn about Indigemojis and learn how to design and create emoji designs that reflect students’ personal and community-related identities.
