Indigenous Art - Kutjungka'Visit' the galleries of men's and women's paintings on the CD-ROM. Choose one of the paintings hanging in one of the galleries. Think about what it is that has attracted you to making your choice. Click on the magnifying glass near the top right hand corner of the painting. 'Explore' the painting by moving slowly across the surface of the canvas (click and hold your mouse on the painting and drag).
Study the map of the painting. Return to the canvas to identify each of the elements. Read the biography of the artist. Repeat these steps for each of the art works in each of the galleries. Read the texts Art in Balgo and Reading the Works. What understandings have you now come to about the art of this region? Develop your understanding of Indigenous Art by consulting some of the works listed in Additional Resources on the CD-ROM under Kutjungka and Discovery. Indigenous Art includes not just paintings, but traditional artefacts. Ten of these are depicted and described in the Discovery Game on the CD-ROM. See if you can locate them! Visit your local art gallery to view its collection of Indigenous Art and develop your appreciation of these art forms.
