First Fleet Visual Art
Some of the artwork on the First Fleet poster was painted by people who were on board the First Fleet.
The State Library of New South Wales has section of their website to First Fleet art including biographies of known artists and examples of their work. Activities for students might include having them explore the work of a First Fleet artist; responding to First Fleet imagery; or creating an artwork that compares images from the First Fleet with images of Australia today.
