Even though Dot paintings were introduced to the indigenous by a white bloke Geoffrey Bardon in the 1970's. But dont let the truth get in the way of a good story.

[@chriswatson7965]

This story must also be a myth because there are plenty of shields pre-dating that 1970s with the dot motif. What is certain is that large paintings on bark that are then sold off to markets outside is an invention of the 1970s. I'm not sure of the complete history but the site "Aboriginal Dot Painting: Evolution and History" is certainly more compatible with my personal observation of historical artwork that I have seen in public museums and art galleries.

[@mark703]

@@chriswatson7965 Yes no one would deny the occasional dots in aboriginal ancient artwork, but unfortunately the truth is never told but adapted to modern society as fact.

[@chriswatson7965]

@@mark703 My claim is that the claim that Bardon introduced the drawings to aboriginal society is equally misrepresentative. And it is not just the occasional dot, I'm talking full dot paintings on aboriginal shields that date to the 19th C that I have seen with my own eyes.

[@joecav9660]

Mark common now, your fibbin is fairly blatant, the canvas was introduced not dot painting. Haha ahh the irony…you’re really the embodiment of ´don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story‘. lollol Jolly good stuff!

Just to clarify; dot paintings are from the 1970’s. That’s why it’s not on any cave art. It was introduced by a Dutch artist while visiting Austealia

[@churly9717]

Dot art is very ancient. Putting it on canvas started in the 70s.

[@graphite2786]

Dot painting existing for eons in Aboriginal culture as body paint and sand drawings. Because they weren't allowed to be viewed by uninitiated people, after completion they were washed off or smoothed over. In 1971. Geoffrey Bardon was assigned as an art teacher for the children of the Aboriginal people in Papunya, near Alice Springs. He encouraged the people to paint their designs on canvas for permanent display.

[@dougaldhendrick3497]

Strange thing that the concept of 'dot' painting on canvas was taught to them a few decades ago by a white teacher I think..

[@Flippin-mad]

A French man. He saw the children drawing in the red dust and thought he would teach them a simple way to paint. Well that's what I was told by the internet anyway lol

[@seymourskinner2533]

Is think the right word?

[@James-kv6kb]

They would send entertainers and teachers up to the communities .a guy who was teaching art saw the old people drawing in the sand , He suggested they should put it on canvas and sell them which they loved the idea of. Same with all the lizards and carved items you see in the museum or for sale they're all fake

To all those denigrating Aboriginal art in a comedy sketch of all places, please recognise that the Aboriginal art industry contributes $250 million to the Australian economy and has international recognition. Let's value the contributions our First People's bring to this country.

I do enjoy asking people how long they suppose the aboriginals have been recording their ancient history in dot art.

It's a comic sketch. A parody. Not a single word about dot painting. But the irrational hostility towards indigenous Australians runs so deep that self-proclaimed experts on indigenous art pile in and treat it literally as if it's supposed to be a documentary.

Invented in 1980 as a gimmick by a white dude to sell dots on a page, a 5 year old could make better art. Not like they have been doing it for centuries haha.
