Art of Australia
Australian aboriginal is the oldest living art tradition in the world, with paintings in rock shelters dating back over 20,000 years. The art includes naturalistic paintings of human, plant and animal figures, as well as non-naturalistic or "abstract" designs with concentric circles, "u" shapes, and lines.
The naturalistic style, predominant in Arnhemland in northern Australia, is often characterised by "X-ray" art, where the internal organs of animal are depicted. the abstract style, predominant in central Australia, originates from sacred designs used in ceremonies.
Much of Aboriginal art relates to stories of the Dreamtime. This dreamtime is the Creation Period in Aboriginal belief, when important Ancestral Beings, often depicted in the art, may take human, animal, plant or combined forms, and taught the people their laws and ceremonies.

Conclusion
This essay can demostrate the strong influence of the aborigines and how they are include in the most of the expressions of art. The future of the aborgines is questionable because most of the tribes are slowly dying out. As the indigenous culture seems to fade with each passing day, onde can only hope that efforts will arise to help preserve Aboriginal heritage and the ways of the original Australia.
