I don't think they were ever elaborate paintings in the sand they were more of a map . I'm sure a lot of tourists wouldn't buy these things if they knew it was only a recent consept

@@SaraMcQueenMCF Hi Sara, I have had an Indigenous gallery in Australia for 30 years, unfortunately many institutions even here in Australia that sell Indigenous art don't even know much about the origins of using dots in the paintings of Central Australia. Even some books are misleading. I currently have a studio and gallery in Alice Springs and work with established artists from the desert communities. Some of the paintings shown in this video are paintings from Queensland where these artists are using dots in their paintings and depicting animals with cross hatching. The cross hatching is a painting technique from the region of Australia called Arnhemland. And in the desert animals are only depicted by their foot prints only. In short some of the paintings that are shown in this video are a mix of Central Desert art technique and Arnhemland mixed together, they are created by artists from Queensland and are a borrowing of two distinct styles from a different area, these paintings have no meaning what so ever and even if they have titles it is all made up very different to the deep and complex meanings in the paintings from the Desert and Arnhemland region. Also the didjeridoo track which is being played is also inappropriate as Didjeridoo which is only from Arnhemland has nothing to do with dot paintings and again misleading. The didjeridoo is in fact the most misused misunderstood and misrepresented object when it is taught to the public. So videos like this that don't use the correct images together with incorrect music are basically telling the audience that it's all one thing when it is not. There are over 300 different language groups the artwork being produced just in the desert communities is extremely diverse in themes, colour use and painting technique and many desert regions do not even incorporate dots at all. You can look at some of the art from the desert region called Utopia art. So this type of video that does not use correct images and talks about Aboriginal dot paintings should include where dot paintings are produced and why dots came to be used. She said the dots used to be in sand drawings that is incorrect, dots in paintings that were originally in desert paintings were only used to depict sacred sites where various materials were rolled in a ball and place in the ground to create a ceremonial ground design and later dots in paintings took on a new reason and that was to hide iconography by dotting over symbols that non initiates should not see and today the desert paintings just use some iconography and fill in the empty space with dots. I hope this is useful.

Elinor. Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify the inadequacies and incorrect information in this video. I carried many precious and heavy books home from my trips. And a painting from an 12 yr old and one from a gallery on the top end. Of course I brought many souvenirs from visitor centers. It is so important to give accurate information. I do appreciate

Hi, Folks. There is evidence to show that the 'dot' painting form of Aboriginal art originated at Papunya village in the Northern territory beginning about 1971 and inspired by a teacher at their school named Geoffrey Bardon. It appears that Bardon worked in conjunction with the Aboriginals in the village to develop a form of art in which they Aboriginals could tell their Dreamtime stories in a form that would shield them from uninitiated people by overlaying them and/or disguising them with the dots. I have seen some Aboriginal art sites in the Pilbara and Kimberley regions of Western Australia and there were NO dots in any of them. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes.

Please refrain from talking about Aboriginal Art when your knowledge is so limited and misleading. The art is extremely diverse and dots were not used to capture any essence at all the dots came about in large scale only in the Central region of Australia and originally they were used only to depict sacred sites in the desert country and the dots that filled in the concentric circle which was a sacred site was a dot because when creating a sacred site pulp from plants, birds feathers and ochres and clay were mixed together and applied to the ground dot by dot. The original painting movement in the desert had very few dots rather more symbols and iconography, however many paintings were of a secret nature and non initiates could read the story but were not ready for the information so they decided to paint the story and dot over many of the symbols that were not for the public. Later the symbols became less and less and the dots filled spaces in between the few symbols left. Dot painting is only a part of central Australia's certain communities and not all of them. Nothing in this video should ever be used for educational purposes.

Ms, Chelsea, This video is portraying Aboriginal art and culture, images and MUSIC which are cultural copyrights to our people, and we don't give permission for you and any associated parties to use. The music, didgeridoo, and singer is connected to my family from Arnhemland. N.T- Australia, I am asking nicely to delete this video or legal steps shall be taken. Also the old Woman painting I shall contact the family and authorities to this content, which you have no rights over.

this type of art is so basic... those that attack saying aboriginal art shouldn't be replicated by whites etc are nothing but racist... every one has a right to do what ever they like in this world, regardless of race or colour of skin... I personally think dots on a canvas or alike is basic, child like art... Aboriginals art generally could be painted by 10 year old... dots and circles...so basic... for them to claim it as their own is small minded, just like their art... they get offended when white people do it because of how easy they make it look... I have lived among the indigenous, they are not the brightest of cultures or race, this is depicted in their art IMO... dots and circles on a canvas, WOW.... draw a lizard, fill it with dots, draw a hand, fill it with dots, its like they have near no imagination... no wonder they hate white progression, they are genuinely small minded and self entitled.
