The aboriginal people of Australia have always made the land important in their arts. When settlers from Europe
came to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries, they claimed that the land was owned by no one, but, as the art works of
the indigenous show, the land has always given the aboriginal people a sense of mutual belonging: they belong to the
land and the land belongs to them. Traditional “dreamtime” art reflects the creation myths and migration legends of
ancestral beings across difficult terrain. Paintings done on bark often show a bird’s eye view of a familiar landscape, a
river, or a campsite. Stencil paintings on rocks mark important places on tribal journeys. And the colors for paintings
originally came from clay ochre mined from the earth and wood ash. Even though watercolors and oil paints may now be
used, works by contemporary aboriginal artists still show the close relation of the indigenous people to the land they have
lived on for millennia.
