Resilient Australia - Depictions of Resilience

This unit focuses on how natural hazards have been depicted in art by artists worldwide, as well as the effects of these disasters on the Australian landscape and wildlife. Students will learn about different techniques and mediums used to evoke emotions in artwork, and create their own art pieces using charcoal to depict the effects of bushfires on Australian wildlife. Additionally, the lesson explores how art can be used as a tool for building resilience and fostering community connectedness. Students will have the opportunity to participate in an art exhibition and showcase their work under a banner entitled "The Resilient Artist".
