Discover the power of storytelling through paint in our Introduction to Aboriginal Art workshop – a meaningful and creative journey guided by culture, tradition, and personal expression. In this relaxed, hands-on experience, your team will step into the rich world of contemporary Aboriginal art and explore the deeper significance behind the symbols, stories and styles. Aboriginal art is more than dots – it’s a visual language that shares journeys, Country, culture, and identity.
Led by a respected Aboriginal artist, this 2-hour session blends cultural education with creative exploration. Participants will learn about the evolution of Aboriginal art – from ancient storytelling practices to the modern-day use of acrylics, ochres and canvas. The facilitator will also share their personal story and artistic journey, offering unique insight into how art can be both a voice and a vocation. Teams will discover commonly used symbols and their meanings, and explore how these connect to storytelling and a connection to Country. Then, it’s time to put paint to canvas. Each participant will create their own artwork – a personal story inspired by everything they’ve learned. This experience is about connection, not perfection – no artistic experience is necessary. The workshop finishes with a Q&A, providing a respectful space for participants to ask questions, reflect, and engage in meaningful dialogue about Aboriginal art, culture and its place in contemporary Australia.
