Case Study: Australian Aboriginal Stone Art

Native American art is a profoundly expressive culture that has been a way of life for so many Native Americans. Native American art history has advanced over thousands of years and is composed of several idiosyncratic styles from the differentiating cultures of diverse Indian tribes. From Navajo to Hopi, each tribe has a particular history, which consists of many types of Native American arts including beadwork, jewelry, weaving, pottery, carvings, kachinas, masks, totem poles, and more. To truly understand Native American art, we will explore Native American art history, its subjects, and if Native American art has a spiritual connection to it.

ROA’s situation is defined largely by recent financials. They have demonstrated year over year decline in revenue, profit, and net income since 2003 as demonstrated in Figure 1 (below). (MSN Money, 2008)

Whilst observing the capturing pieces of art at the Majorie Barrick Museum, I had encountered a piece that has truly grasped my attention. When we had the art tour guides guide us around the musuem to observe 3/4 specific pieces, I noticed they all were different with similar ties. They all had something unique about them, from the "graphite splatter" to the "thinned out chair leg" and the "fill in the vowels" worksheet found in a first grade work book. I've also noticed that art varies with age. If you ask a first grader to create art, we would most likely result in a piece of paper with splatters and stick figures, (yet there are a few youngsters with different mindsets), but what we don't know is that it has a certain meaning to them. Now

During my time as volunteer at Somerset Dade Academy, I was able to work closely with the elementary and middle school teacher. During each visit, I was able to follow Ms. Lee’s daily routine. In the morning, we had 30 minutes to plan and get her cart ready with supplies she needed for the day. Also, we would both create various model artworks to inspire her students to create something more original and imaginative. She wheeled her cart through certain elementary classes depending on her schedule. Depending on the grade level she was assign to that day, we were able to teach her students the fundamental concepts of arts and major art movements, all in 30 minutes. Every three weeks, she would focus on a concept, artist, or art movement. Additionally, she would assign vocabulary words, which her students would copy and also had access to them online on Quizlet. At the end, she would administer a summative test on everything they learned for the past three weeks. On the other hand, Ms. Lee’s middle school classes were different, more one-on-one, and it was a one-hour period. Her students were able to recreate impressionist and expressionist artworks, such as Monet’s Water Lilies, Van Gogh Starry Night and The Bedroom on wall-sized canvases.

Native American rock art is a big part of early American history. Most of these fragments of history were destroyed and lost to the public due to vandalism, mass settlement and colonization, and man-made things like dams. The history of the rock art is incredibly fascinating.

Aboriginal artwork is a physical depiction of the ancestor sprits, which are connected and linked throughout the artwork. Which is linked back to the begging of time. During the creation period when the ancestor sprits dwelled the land leaving behind their remains and part of themselves behind in forms of rock art, caves implanting themselves in the land and playing a significant role in aboriginal artwork. Mostly all aboriginal art can be connected to scenery with various paintings depicting the substantial relationship between various features within the land. All aboriginal art should be viewed and considered as important and significant because they are basically the representations of relationships which are seen as lessons that impact and guide how the land is perceived and understood today. Whenever an aboriginal painting displays or ever represents particular structures and characteristics of the land its main focus is to be presented in a story like manner. The paintings and artwork symbolizes the continuing link with the country the land and the responsibilities that are tied to it. Paintings are a display that is incredibly important and hold a significant meaning. Paintings are seen as a radical act to display and express to the world that the aboriginal people posses the land and the land posses

Within Australian Aboriginal history, the 1967 referendum had a monumental shift towards how Aboriginals have been defined with the Constitution. This essay will evaluate and underline the events that had occurred and drew towards the referendum. Covering within the production of the Constitution the questionable and discriminatory evaluation on how Aboriginals where mentioned within sections 127 and 51 and how within these sections merely only a small amount of reference had been accumulated. How within the motions towards of the referendum the political stance within Aboriginal politics has increased variously high towards an act of activism and protest towards the acts of land rights, voting rights and the events that had lead towards the

In order to understand the difficulty many contemporary artists face when trying to accurately portray their culture, it is important to know where these stereotypes originated from. The word “Indian” is a European-derived concept. Prior to the invasion of the Europeans, Native American people were not considered Indians. They were members and leaders of their own socio-political and cultural groups. Dichotomy arose soon after the arrival of the Europeans, and Native people quickly lost their identity when they were merged together under a single defining word. There are currently 10 to 20 million people in the United States today with Indian blood, but only a small percentage identify as predominantly Indian.

The government has a history of not respecting the right that the indigenous people of Canada were promised years ago. They start projects on or near their land without their consent, or frankly not caring if they consent or not. The bottom line is, this issue needs to be resolved

Today, the children were making Oobleck. Nylah helps mixing the ingredients with the student. She takes the spoon, and starts to mix the flour and water. She then helps the student put a couple of drops of food coloring. She then starts to mix the Oobleck with her hands. Nylah says, “it is sticky, sticky, sticky.” This photo is meaningful for children like Nylah because she was able to follow the instructions with the student. Also, Nylah was using 1.1 Social Interest because she was engaging in a short group activity
