Mr Fox Mask:
How to make your Fox Mask
Step 1 You will need scissors, a glue stick, masking tape and some ribbon. For a longer lasting mask, print your template on to a slightly heavier stock paper. Step 2 Carefully cut out the mask, ears, whiskers and eye holes. Step 3 Glue the middle panels together with your glue stick and secure on the back with a little masking tape. Steps 4 & 5 Next stick the two side panels together as shown. Step 6 Now to add the ears. Fold the tab on each ear, and then bend the bristles on the mask forward. Step 7 Glue ears in place on the reverse of the mask. Step 8 Fold out the fox’s fur on each side of the mask. Step 9 Glue the whiskers in place on the reverse of the mask. Step 10 Attach a length of ribbon to either side of your mask. You can glue it in place, then stick with masking tape for a really firm hold. Step 11 Hooray! Your fox mask is ready to wear!

What does Fantastic Mr Fox say?
Let's create our own indigenous inspired artworks!
- Pretend you are living thousands of years ago and need to create a work of art for your ancestors.
- Choose one-three of the above Aboriginal symbols to create a storyline.
- On the back sheet of your new, blank sketchbook page, write down the short story you are choosing to tell with your symbols. (Use the original Aboriginal Art Works as inspiration to get you started. )
- On a blank sheet in your sketchbook, draw the symbols you have chosen, and create patterns to tell your story using different lines.
- Make sure all your lines are completely covered in neatly, and you are only using the same colours you would see in nature to complete you work.
Indigenous Art vs Australian Art:
Aboriginal Art:
Aboriginal Art has survived for over thousands of years and continues to be one of the oldest art forms practiced today.
Aboriginal Art consists of symbols. These symbols were used as a means of communication; communication of their lives on earth, their rituals, food, customs and also to show constellations and for ritual decorations. These works were almost always ceremonial or religious.
Symbols were used in order to show the presence of different things or objects that existed around them.
Unlike the well-known artists you've studied, Aboriginal artists created their works based on how the land was created,
basing their subject matter mainly on patterns and animals.

These patterns and symbols were created using only the colours seen in nature, (for instance soil, was seen in tints of reds, yellows and browns ochres. White, clay and charcoal colours were also used from natural materials.
Thousands of years ago, Aboriginals would create their works using only the natural materials left around them, (such as bark, clay, logs, trees, burnt sticks, rocks, etc....
The backgrounds of these art works were never blank. There is always a continuous use of dotting, patterns, lines or hatching to create a sense of movement within the work. These works of art could be labelled as Abstract.
