Aboriginal art takes many forms, from the enduring rock engravings
and paintings to the more ephemeral arts of Aboriginal body painting,
ceremonial sculptures, totems and engravings. The adoption of new
materials such as canvas and acrylics has led to new artistic forms
of expression which often compliments rather than replaces the traditional
ones. As a result, Australian Aboriginal art is a growing organic
process, with roots steeped in thousands of years of ceremonial
tradition.
Being in the presence of some Aboriginal art can often be like looking
in to a time capsule, a transmitting artefact giving knowledge of
our past!
Geological evidence indicates that some Aboriginal rock engravings
are of great antiquity and likely to be many thousands of years
older than the pyramids of Egypt.
