Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Grade 5 Up-Finley examines paintings of several clans and regions of Australia. Artistic methods and the use of materials such as wood, bark, and rock are carefully explained. Because Aboriginal myth and views about land are tied directly to the art, the author includes a discussion of these beliefs and their relationship to the paintings. She also discusses the flowering of modern Aboriginal art associated with the movement for equality and land rights. Clear, full-color photographs of the art, people, and landscape illustrate the text.
