How to create a Aboriginal Style Dot Painting with FAS Super Tempera School Paint
- A sheet paper (black can be more effective for an Aboriginal theme)
- FAS Super Tempera in 4 bright colours
- 4 x shallow paint trays
- Apron
- A few old pencils with flat ends or erasers (alternatively, you can use an upside-down paintbrush)
- A pencil and ruler or interesting shapes to trace for an outline
- Newspapers or a protective cover sheet
Step 1: Prepare your work area:
Lay out newspapers or a cover sheet to protect the surface where the children will be painting.
Step 2: Outline some interesting shapes:
Lightly outline some simple and intriguing shapes on their paper with a pencil. Remember, sometimes, the most straightforward designs produce the best results.
Step 3: Pour the paint into trays.
Divide the Super Tempera Paint into shallow trays, each holding one of the four bright colours
Dip lightly into one of the paint colours using an old pencil with a flat end or an eraser. Each pencil should be dedicated to a specific colour, or clean the pencil ends between using colours to achieve clean and bright dots.
Step 5: Follow the outlines:
Follow the pencil outlines on the paper, keeping the same colour for each line. The goal is to create neat and tidy rows of dots.
Step 6: Expand the dot pattern:
Work your way to the edges of the paper, creating new rows of dots in different colours. See the example in the photo.
Step 7: Allow the artwork to dry:
After completing their dot painting, let the artworks dry completely.
Conclusion:
Aboriginal-style dot painting is an enjoyable and engaging art activity that allows children to explore their creativity while learning about this unique art form. Remind them to follow the pencil outlines to maintain neat rows of dots, and don't rush the process.

How to Create Finger Drawings with School Paint or Inks
You will need:
- FAS Studio Block Printing Ink, finger paint, stamp pad, or quality thick tempera paint (FAS Super Tempera)
- Sheet of paper.
- Felt-tipped pens.
- Paint brushes.
- Handy paper towels for clean up.
Let's get started:
Prepare Your Fingerprints:
Gently place your finger onto the stamp pad or lightly paint your finger with ink or paint. Make sure it's not overloaded - you can test it on extra sheets of paper for paper towels.
TIPS:
- Lightly paint or use a sponge for thinner prints - this gives the best results.
- Try mixing paint colours for some attractive new colours, like we did in the picture above
Step 2:
Let the Prints Dry:
Allow the ink or paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step. Patience is key!
Step 3:
Unleash Your Imagination:
Now, it's time for the fun part! Use felt-tipped pens to draw features on a single fingerprint or combine several fingerprints to create unique creatures, flowers, birds, or insects. Let your creativity flow freely! See our artworks for inspiration.
Conclusion:
Remember, art is all about expressing yourself and having fun. So, keep exploring and discovering new ways to create masterpieces!
Enhancing Your Artwork: Framing Techniques with School Paints
When it comes to using paints in the classroom, framing your artwork is an essential yet often overlooked aspect. Taking a few moments to create a frame can significantly enhance and add impact to any artwork, highlighting its mood and adding a touch of spice. Not to mention, it looks fantastic!
Here are some useful tips to get you started:
- Paste sheets of coloured paper onto a larger board, just like we did with the clown painting.
- Use another sheet of paper to cover and protect your painting while you paint the frame.
