The Beginner's Guide to Australian Aboriginal Art - R Lewis

This book is specifically a Beginner’s Guide to a vast and complex subject filled with many mutually contradicting opinions. It cannot and does not take any of these into account. However after a read you will then be able to amble down to your local art gallery and amaze yourself at the ease with which, unaided, you can now read the stories in the paintings. If you are an educator teaching Aboriginal studies, it is proposed that you go through this book with your class and then encourage them to paint or draw their own Dreamtime stories. It will very simply help unravel the great mystery of the meaning of Aboriginal art. R Lewis
