- Summary:
-
"'Aborigina Art and the Dreaming' will assist art, craft and design teachers in secondary schools to teach students about the exciting diversity of both traditional and contemporary Aboriginal visual arts. The text is supported by many illustrations of Aboriginal art and sculpture in colour and in black and white. While there is a focus on South Australia, this book incorporates information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts and artists from throughout Australia. Activities and resources in this book are congruent with the aims and outcomes of the visual arts strand of the national curriculum documents, 'A Statement on the Arts for Australian Schools' and 'The Arts: A Curriculum Profile for Australian Schools'. This book will meet the needs of teachers who are aware of the sensitive issues involved in teaching about Aboriginal art and require more knowledge in this area. It stresses the inseparable link between particular Aboriginal groups and their land, their Dreaming and their art. The book has an informative section on contemporary Aboriginal art and extensive lists of resources." -- BOOK JACKET.
