LAMPS Class 3 Aboriginal Art

Indigenous Australians, known as Aboriginies, drew and painted on rocks, tree-bark, objects such as boomerangs, and on their bodies. Pictures often contained dots and serpents, connected with their beliefs about ancestral spirits who came to earth and created the landforms, plants and animals. Aboriginies refer to the time and events before and during creation as "Dreamtime" or "Dreaming". Stories are still told about the Rainbow Serpent, Mimi Spirits, and Tagai.

The paintings below were created by the pupils of LAMPS Class 3, based on real examples of Aboriginal art. You can learn more about Aboriginal culture on the Australian Museum Indigenous Australia website.
