Aboriginal Boomerang

What's the purpose of the activity?
The purpose of this activity is to learn more about Aboriginals and their history with boomerangs/




The story:
My artwork took inspirations from the symbols Aboriginal drew to tell a story on their boomerangs. The symbols tell a story of a typical Aboriginal family in the past, on the left side it shows a man and a woman with a love heart in the middle, this symbolises them being a loving family. In the middle, it shows a meeting spot, this is where they meet after a long day of hunting, the blue on the sides represents the river they had to cross. On the right side, the eyelashes looking thing is actually a symbol for the human track, this where they walk through every day, the one below it is an animal track, this where they can know the locations of the animals they need to hunt after that are trees that represent the Forrest, last but not least is a boomerang, a tool they use to hunt. The red colour represents the desert sand and animal footprints. The black represents the Aboriginal people. The yellow in the middle shows the joy being shared in the meeting place.

What went well?

I think transferring the Aboriginals symbol into my boomerang is the part I did well.
