Aboriginal Art
|
The culture and history of the Australian Aboriginal people is deeply fascinating and deeply moving. Their art conveys their connection with the earth, with the elements and with all living things.
Just as we write down our stories with words, so the Aboriginal people wrote down theirs with pictures and symbols. Sometimes the pictures reflected journeys they had made, or of journeys they were going to make. At other times the stories would be of their ancestors, or the ancient creatures who lived on the earth many, many years before man. They used a variety of symbols and shapes to represent people, places, and animals. |
