 Introduction
 Hello, my name is Tekla and today
we are going to talk about a really
interesting topic today. It’s
called ,,Aboriginal art’’. We are
going to mention lots of amazing
facts and informations in this
presentation about the use of
color in aboriginal art, about
aboriginal art culture and so on so
let’s begin.
 What is Aboriginal art?
 Aboriginal art is art made by indigenous
Australian people. It includes work made in
many different ways including painting on
leaves, wood carving, rock carving, sculpting,
ceremonial clothing and sand painting.
Aboriginal art is closely linked to religious
ceremonies or rituals. Australian Indigenous art
is the oldest ongoing tradition of art in the
world. The earliest artworks were rock Bradshaw rock paintings
carvings, body painting and ground designs, found in the north-west
which date back more than 30,000 years. Kimberley region of Western
Australia
The use of color
 Aboriginal people have always used the colours available to them and
incorporated them into their art. Before contact, colour was made using
natural earth pigments. Today, artists use a variety of colours to express
themselves and add layers of meaning to their art. The blue color palette in
Aboriginal painting is not the most common group of colors we encounter
but it is used widely amongst certain artists. It creates quite an ethereal
and mysterious sense about the paintings. When we look at these paintings
and what they're evoking, we often see them referring to the mystery of
Dreaming stories or ceremonial sites and body painting. The colour palettes
when laid out for blue paintings create a contemporary and dynamic look.
 Art Techniques
 What techniques are used today in Aboriginal art?? There are a variety of
techniques used by artists to produce Aboriginal art. The drawings and
paintings usually entail unique methods to share knowledge and tell
stories visually.
 Bush medicine leaves.
 Bush medicine leaves originate from a native shrub that grows in
abundance in the desert regions of Utopia, north-east of Alice Springs.
The leaves change color throughout their life and display different
medicinal properties, and artists paint the leaves as they fall to the
ground with a range of brush strokes and colors. The artwork is renowned
for its mesmerising qualities and the style was made famous by Gloria
Petyarre; whose artwork won the Telstra National Aboriginal & Torres
Strait Islander Art Award in 1999.
 Dot painting.
 Dot painting is what many people associate with Aboriginal art. The
technique is versatile and varies from fine dot work made with thin sticks
to large bold dots, with palettes ranging from earthy tones to bright and
colorful. The technique is common in Central Australian paintings and
offers an abstract style of work, originating from sacred body painting
designs used in dance ceremonies. The technique was transferred to
canvas in the 1970s, during the Papunya Tula Art Movement.
