If you are an educator teaching Aboriginal studies, it is proposed that you go through this book with your class and then encourage them to paint or draw their own Dreamtime stories.

Title: Art - Land - Story
Author: Christine Nicholls
Description: Indigenous Australian art today is recognized throughout Australia and the world for its strength and vitality. In her book, Art - Land - Story, recognized Indigenous art expert, Christine Nicholls looks at some of the traditions this art has come from and emphasizes the continuous links between Indigenous art, place and “The Dreaming” – the central core of Indigenous Law and religion.
Sections on body painting, art from the Central and Western deserts and rarrk painting from Arnhem Land, highlight the extraordinary diversity that is, and always has been, a hallmark of Indigenous Australian art.
It is partly because the landscapes of Australia vary so greatly from region to region that many different kinds of art were created.
