Australian Aboriginal art is art made by the Indigenous peoples of Australia
Dot painting consists of various paint colours like yellow (the sun), brown (the soil), red (desert sand) and white (the clouds and the sky). These are traditional Aboriginal colors. Dot paintings can be painted on anything though in aboriginal times they used to paint dot pictures on rocks, caves etc. Mostly Indigenous Australians painted nature like animals or lakes and of course, the dreamtime.
Aboriginal people in australia used to paint stories and legends on caves and rocks to represent their religion.
Rock art, including painting and engraving or carving, can be found at sites around Australia. Rock paintings appear on caves in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
Aboriginal rock art has been around for a long period of time, with the oldest examples, in Western Australia's Pilbara region, and the Olary district of South Australia, estimated to be up to around 40,000 years old.
Bark paintings are regarded as fine art, and the finest art command high prices on the international art markets. The best artists are recognized annually in the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art Award.
ATW FRIENDS LECTURE SERIES: John Wardle
21.07.16
ATW attendees were invited to join renowned architect John Wardle, joint winner of the 2015 Tapestry Design Prize for Architects, for a talk on the relationship between textiles, artisanal practices and architecture from around the world.
John Wardle presented a range of interests, both personal and those shared with others in the practice, that have influenced the work of JWA. His talk took us around the world on various trips; to view buildings and places of interest, into the workshops of many artisans and the studios of artists, as well as the studio of the practice itself. John also elaborated on the particular processes employed on their wide range of new projects.
John Wardle established his architectural practice in Melbourne in 1986. His practice includes working on small domestic dwellings to university buildings, museums and large commercial offices. The architecture of John Wardle Architects (JWA) is closely tailored to its place and highly experiential in nature.
In 2001 he completed a Master of Architecture at RMIT University, and he is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Art, Architecture and Design, University of South Australia.
Wardle has formed strong links with both artists and public art galleries and, as a practicing architect and board member of both the Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum of Art and the Ian Potter Museum of Art, has contributed to important public art programs.

As a Surf coast artist and educator Jacki Burke is highly regarded for her versatility as an artist by both peers and students alike.
“I’m never restricted to a particular medium; I use oil paints, acrylics and pastel with equal proficiency. The canvas, medium and subject speak to me and need to be portrayed accordingly.”
I’m inspired by colour and literally paint because I have to, I wake up with ideas, I see inspiration everywhere and love telling a story with light and shadow with the brushstrokes”
Jacki Burke's passion is creating in paint and pastel, however Jacki will step it up to mixed media and resin for added inspiration. As a successful exhibiting artist, Jacki’s work is collected both locally and abroad.
