Aboriginal dot painting

This is one of my first pieces of artwork. I’m now offically a full blown artist.

Enjoy, do different colours, different shapes. You’ll be amazed at what these dots can do!!

Material

Tooth picks or skewers.
Paints (Thick paint)
Canvas

Method

Clean and dry canvas.
Set paints up, choose colouring to your desire.
Create a story, paint anything you want
Dip the skewer into paint, only the tip. Then press gently onto canvas board.
Continue until you get preferred pattern.

(Only call it Aboriginal dot painting if youre of Aboriginal decent. Otherwise, it is just a dot painting)

A great idea to show kids that there are many different ways to create art. And also a great opportunity to learn about aboriginal culture.

Just know what dot painting is using skewers. I have been wanting to try to do a dot painting.
