This artwork was inspired by the book 'Why I Love Australia', by Bronwyn Bancroft. The patterns on the land were inspired by the Indigenous Australians and their culture. As a 9 year old who loves art, I have always been inspired by the wonderful colours and patterns in aboriginal art. They recount stories about their traditions and culture through their beautiful art, that get passed down to generations beyond. While this artwork was in progress, I was thinking about the contribution that the Indigenous people make to our country. A big thanks to my art teacher Rosie Kavanagh for her inspiration on this artwork.
