A LITTLE ABOUT AUSTRALIA...

WHAT IS AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL ART?
  • Dot paintings are unique and integral to Australian Aboriginal Art. 
  • The simple dot style as well as cross hatching has a hidden meaning and deeper purpose; to disguise the sacred meanings behind the stories in the painting
  • Before Indigenous Australian art was ever put onto canvas the Aboriginal people would smooth over the dirt to draw sacred designs.
  • Body paint was also applied which connected to sacred rituals.  These designs were outlined with circles and encircled with dots.
  • Aboriginal artists made abstract paintings to disguise the sacred designs so the real meanings could not be understood by Westerners.
Materials: 
  • Paints
