Symbols

After attending Tandanya and looking at those artworks up close, I was able to appreciate the fine detail and textures used in the artists work. I found that a lot of the paintings used symbols and marks that had different meanings behind them. Upon further research, I found this chart that clearly and very simply explains the definition of some of the symbols.

  1. I have read that there are many Indigenous Australians (Aboriginal Australians)tribes. Do they all use the same symbols?

    I like your blog, by the way :D .
