HOW TO MAKE A BRONWYN BANCROFT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT

WHO IS BRONWYN BANCROFT?

Bronwyn Bancroft is a Bundjalung artist, storyteller, writer, and activist. At the beginning of her career there was almost no inclusion of the work of Indigenous artists in the Australian art and literary world.

During her career she has been an important part of helping to share Indigenous art and stories with the entire world with her words, her art, and her care and concern for First Nations’ people.

Also create a colorful and bold Bronwyn Bancroft inspired landscape painting!

WHY STUDY FAMOUS ARTISTS?

Studying the artwork of the masters not only influences your artistic style but even improves your skills and decisions when creating your own original work.

It is great for kids to be exposed to different styles of art, experiment with different mediums, and techniques through our famous artist art projects.

Kids may even find an artist or artists whose work they really like and will inspire them to do more of their own artwork.

Why is learning about art from the past important?

• Kids who are exposed to art have an appreciation for beauty!
• Kids who study art history feel a connection to the past!
• Art discussions develop critical thinking skills!
• Kids who study art learn about diversity at a young age!
• Art history can inspire curiosity!
