The Aborigines in the central part of Australia used dot paintings because these matched the materials they had on hand, such as sand, rocks, and bits of plants. Each part of a dot painting is symbolic, and the Aborigines also used these to teach their children important lessons.

Yes. All aboriginal paintings, including dot paintings, had either a symbolic meaning or told a story.
To maintain their ancient culture in modern times, the Australian Aborigines have celebrations using the old ways, including dances and body paintings. They also tell and retell the Dreamtime stories of how their people came to be and they continue to use dot painting in many areas to maintain tradition.
The aborigines had no written langauge so they did not use anything for paper. Their histories were all oral, but they also explained their stories through paintings.
