Life is better with art


Aboriginal Art Regions


Aboriginal art has significant regional variations that reflect the unique cultural identities and artistic expressions of different Aboriginal language groups across the continent. Historically, Australian Aboriginal peoples had three main forms of communicating — storytelling, songs, and visual communication through painting, drawing, and the use of ceremonial design. Without a written language, future generations, beyond generational learning, largely depended on the wide breadth of Aboriginal art to communicate and understand past practices and culture.
