Aboriginal Dot paintings

Aboriginal Paintings are probably the oldest surviving art form of the world. This joyous celebration of art of the indigenous tribes of Australia has marveled art lovers around the world with its simple yet graceful composition and themes.

 This is one of the most common forms of Australian Aboriginal art. Like most aboriginal art it is more of a ritual involving secrecy, mystery and symbolism, than a purely artistic expression.

 
 Aboriginal dreams are the stories of the history of the tribes that are narrated orally. They are the story of creation, about the life, people and animals of the tribe. These dreamings are passed on within a clan through a combination of music, painting, dance and singing. Dot painting is one such way in which the aboriginal tribes narrate their history.
