Billyara is a respected artist from the Wiradjuri tribe. The name Billyara comes from the artist’s totem, an eagle, which stems from his connection with the land. He has been painting Aboriginal art for 23 years and teaches these traditions to younger generations. His artwork is a mix of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal art with a Western influence. He has exhibited extensively, and has sold his paintings internationally. Through a relationship with Modern Teaching Aids, Billyara hopes to introduce contemporary Aboriginal art to young children in fun and engaging ways.

This resource helps children to understand the people and the world around them. Our range of global and multicultural resources help to support children’s learning about their communities, as well as the world in general. These resources aid in the promotion of understanding and acceptance of different cultures, beliefs, languages, families, appearances and lifestyles. As children gain an understanding of their community, they also gain an understanding of themselves. This develops confidence and a sense of identity. Incorporating multicultural resources into play is a great way to introduce these concepts in fun and unobtrusive ways.

We love creating products that allow indigenous communities and artists to communicate their culture through their art and in turn allowing children to develop awareness and understanding of the significance of cultural heritage in their world. If you are an indigenous artist and would like to work with MTA to also develop culturally sensitive and appropriate education resources, please contact info@teaching.

The recycled floor mat makes a terrific addition to the early childhood education care setting as well as the school environment. Mats can support a range of room settings and configurations including open floor spaces or informal soft furnishings. Both these types of room settings can facilitate collaboration with others, discussion, demonstration, experiential, explicit, feedback and reflection, guided learning or independent learning modes. These recycled floor mats are an ideal choice for both indoors and outdoors, providing a welcoming place for formal or informal settings, where children can engage in open ended play, group times, meal time picnics, yarning or more. The possibilities are endless!As per all items left outside this item may heat up in direct sunlight or in hot weather. This item is fade resistant but not fade proof. Repeated exposure to direct sunlight may result in some colour fading. We recommend to use this items in shade or filtered light and for best results do not leave in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
