∙ 14y agoAboriginal art conveyed stories of creation and historical events which were significant to the Aborigines. Aborigines lived among the plants and animals, so it is natural that their stories would feature plants and animals - particularly animals. Many of their "Dreaming" stories (stories of Creation) involved people turning into animals.

These stories could have been about hunting exploits of the men, or stories of the 'Dreamtime', or the time of Creation. Animals featured strongly in these stories, so it was natural that they would be included in artwork that conveyed the stories.
