Aboriginal culture is rich with traditional stories known as Dreamtime or Dreaming stories, which explain the creation of the world, the land, and its people. These narratives are often conveyed through oral storytelling, dance, art, and song, incorporating elements of spirituality and connection to the environment. Traditional art forms, such as dot painting and bark painting, often depict these stories, representing ancestral beings and their journeys. Music, including the use of instruments like the didgeridoo, plays a vital role in ceremonies and storytelling, reinforcing cultural identity and continuity.

The dots and lines all had symbolic neaning for the Aborigines, depending on how they were arranged. Using these arrangements of dots and lines, the Aborigines would relate stories of hunts and legends of their Dreamtime, the time of Creation. This was one way the Aborigines recorded and passed down stories from generation to generation, as they had no written language apart from their art.
Storytelling is the telling of traditional stories in aboriginal times when aboriginal art was made.
Animals are Gods natural artform so why not use them in aboriginal art?

Some key characteristics of modern art music include experimentation with new sounds, structures, and techniques, as well as a focus on individual expression and pushing boundaries. Modern art music differs from traditional forms of music in its rejection of conventional rules and structures, and its willingness to challenge and redefine what is considered music.
