Carolyn Windy, Genesis 1 Yr1/KS1 A

Explore the artwork of Carolyn Windy, an Australian Aboriginal Christian artist whose work expresses her Christian beliefs and understanding of creation. Using her artistic representation of the Genesis creation story as a starting point, pupils are introduced to different ideas about how the world began.

Designed for Key Stage 1 pupils, this engaging case study builds on Foundation Stage learning about special and sacred stories. Through exploration, discussion, and reflection, pupils deepen their understanding that some stories are sacred and discover how creation stories help people make sense of the world and their place within it.

Part of a wider study of worldviews, this resource explores religious and non-religious accounts of creation, including Christian, Muslim, Hindu, and Humanist perspectives, encouraging pupils to consider both similarities and differences in how people understand the origins of the world.
