Boomerang Art
For the past few weeks in social studies, we have been learning about Indigenous Australians and the meanings behind their art. Boomerangs had originally originated from Europe. The reason for the artwork was because they had no written language so they told their cultural stories through this in which was portrayed by symbols and icons. Eventually, the artist decided to eliminate the sacred elements and abstracted the designs into dots to conceal their sacred designs which they used in the ceremony. Below is what the design of my boomerang looks like.
The blue spears represent hunting, red dots represent the food, green represents nature and yellow represents a star. The story behind this means hunting for food in nature under the sun.
