Aboriginal Art | Art

Aboringal art comes from Austraila. Abroiginal art was used to tell stories like how the Kangaroo got it pouch. They were called dream time stoires. They used symbols explain how the stories worked, e.g. sun (farthers destiny) is a hand.

First we painted symbols onto a peice of paper to recoinse what they represent. There were two techinces to do the symbols dots or strokes. We had to keep the dots close as possible to make it look good. 

Second we got to choose a animal to explain or make a story about. The options was a kangaroo, joey, wombat, lizzard and a penguin. I choose a Joey (baby kangaroo) and a kangaroo. We had to trace a outline of  a animal for our base of the aborginal art. Then we used dots for the inside of the animal. After we used lines and dots to create the symbols to explain the story.

My story is about a Joey and a Kangaroo traveling along but it starts to rain when a man tries to hunt the joey and a kangaroo. Later the rainbow comes up and the joey and kangroo get out of site from the man.
