Indigenous Gifts

There are so many forms of art with Aboriginal and Indigenous people, as well as styles, designs, techniques, and media. Some of the most popular Indigenous gifts include:

 

• Paintings: Attend the exciting dot paintings, x-ray art and Dreamtime stories to learn about the profound relationship of the Aboriginal artists with their ground. These are often illustrating the divine, animals and landscapes, and the symbolism of those. Consider the pieces of art by famous artists such as Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, Emily Pwerle, Kathleen Petyarre, etc.

 

• Woodcarvings: See carved wooden statues and figures, which are well-detailed and show the Indigenous people’s respect for nature, as seen in their boomerangs, didgeridoos, and other artefacts. These pieces can be at times carved with very elaborate designs and images that have been passed down to the next generations.

 

• Textiles: Snuggle up with colourful hand-woven rugs, cushions or shawls or even paintings and handicrafts depicting folk motifs and figures. In particular, it must be mentioned that the decision to use such bright colours and geometric shapes is often not accidental and has a symbolic hue.

 

• Ceramics: Show, for example, the exquisite pots, dishes and other vessels painted with ochre and familiar images. Using earthy colours and natural shapes, the author underlines the Indigenous People’s connection to the ground.

 

• Jewellery: Solidified with the art of colourful stones, wooden beads and shells, beautify yourself or your beloved one with beautiful necklaces and earrings, as well as bangles. These accessories can have engravings or can use traditional weaving designs in the piece of accessory.
