In the video earth and clay are investigated, highlighting the natural connections to particular places. It highlights the unique features of soil and clay from many locations, highlighting the close connection that these materials have to their original locations. Given that the unique characteristics of clay and soil reflect the local environment, geography, and cultural history, this portrayal calls into question the identity and value of a location. The video invites people to reflect on how physical features of clay and soil add to a place's overall sense of identity and heritage. https://youtu.be/EbGqvjbD3vQ

Paper is a flexible material that can be twisted, crumpled, shredded, and used for play, crafting, writing, and drawing. Children can learn about sustainability and environmental responsibility by using recycled paper. By encouraging group activities like storytelling and drawing, paper additionally promotes social connection and enhances communication, cooperation, fine motor abilities, and spatial awareness. Paper can be imaginatively combined with other materials to boost artistic activities that and cognitive skills, fostering creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, considering the ability to tear and potential for fire.

paper is a flexible tool that provides plenty of opportunities for social connection, environmental education, artistic expression, and cognitive growth. Considering limits, flexibility makes it an important resource in both entertainment and educational situations. Paper has numerous advantages, and we can continue to discover them by utilising it thoughtfully and combining it with other materials. Pacini-Ketchabaw (2016a, p. 24)

Paper is not just the document as I thought before. Paper can do so much thing that I realized after end of the session.  When we add tools like scissors, knives, glue, and water, the possibilities are endless. build up textures and structures by layering with glue, or mould the paper into unique forms using water. Paper can give birth to so many creativity ideas using by different ways I believe now. Pacini-Ketchabaw (2016b, pp. 30–40)

My favourite quote from Assemblage in Encounters with materials.

Paint blurred distinctions between the child who paints and the painted picture, the blank paper waiting to be covered in paint, the easel standing in the classroom corner, the brushes waiting to be moved by hands, and the plastic bowls holding four brilliant colors of tempera paint. Melting away these boundaries, paint assembled human and nonhuman bodies and became an assemblage in itself. Pacini-Ketchabaw (2016c, p. 46)

Aboriginal dot painting is cultural significance. Respect for the culture is goes beyond art. Working with Aboriginal Elders and artists, utilising real resources, and incorporating these viewpoints across the curriculum are all important ways to include Aboriginal perspectives in education. If someone recommends painting the walls red, yellow, and black in honour of NAIDOC Week, highlight the significance of learning about the culture and propose working with Aboriginal artists.

As I entered to the art gallery I impressed to see colours, textures, and shapes, creativity, and I inspired to see them.

As I walked through the gallery, I noticed that each piece of art has a story to tell. Some artists used clay to create three-dimensional sculptures, while others used paper to craft. And then there are the paintings, with colours blending together.

I took closer look at each piece and see what I can discover. I found hidden messages about the artist's inspiration and creative process.

I will invite children to explore their creativity, sensory, artistic, science experiment ideas and knowledge.

I will support on this studio for children to develop important skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity. By giving children, the freedom to make choices and take risks, this studio can help them to develop a sense of agency and ownership in their learning. Pelo (2016, pp. 20–25)
