Australian aboriginal art is art made by the Indigenous peoples of Australia. The aborigens work in diferents media including painting on leaves, wood carving, rock carving, sculpture, ceremonial clothing and sandpainting.They paint dot, rocks, caves etc. of various colours like yellow (the sun), brown (the soil), red (desert sand) and white (the clouds and sky).The indigenous Australians painted nature like animals or lakes and of course the dreamtime. They used to paint stories and legends on caves and rocks to represent their religion.
In Spain there are also cave paintings or rock paintings, especially those of prehistoric origin. The painting represent some activities or a religious ceremonial, the meaning and the technique is similar than to australian aboriginal art.

Thanks for writing Pilar! Have you seen the prehistoric cave paintings in Spain? Altamira etc... I would love to see that.
See you again soon,
