and the use of feathers and shells are some of the media of
art that is included in contemporary Aboriginal art.
Some contemporary artists favour being known as an artist rather
than being an Aboriginal artist. European settlement caused
many alterations in Aboriginal art. In some regions of Australia
it has been very hard for Aboriginal people to keep their traditional
culture. |
With
the introduction of the money economy, art has been used in
order for Aboriginal people to earn the money that they would
need to live. Aboriginal people have adjusted to some parts
of Western technology and also use it in addition to their own
art. Numerous traditional arts have changed but the method of
production still remain the same. Dreaming stories are still
the basis of many of the arts that are created. |
