Aboriginal Art

This week we took a trip down under to Australia to learn about Aboriginal art. We first found the word "original" in Aboriginal. That was a huge clue that "aboriginal" people were the first people of Australia. Australia Aborigines created stories to teach each other about the Dreamtime, these stories taught about life, including birth, love, food gathering, hunting, warfare, marriage and death. Aboriginal people reminded many of use of the Native Americans that we have learned about in our own exploration of the Gorge.

Here are a few pictures taken while we were painting while listening to Aboriginal music.
