ABORIGINAL ART
Aboriginal means the original, native people of a
country you can also use the term Indigenous. We
will be looking at the work of the Australian
aboriginal people. The Australian Aboriginis
have changed little culturally since the
beginning of their history. Their art work is
vital to their culture and is included in every
aspect of their day to day life. Here are some
examples of Aboriginal art-work.
