I immensely enjoyed the Aborigine Art Project! As we explored the Dreaming of the Aborigines of Australia, I was inspired by the fact that during the creation, mystical beings impacted the Earth which is what shaped all natural elements one is able to see. As a result in my piece, I included a snake in order to represent their presence. I used purples to provide a night-like theme and create a sense of intimacy. I incorporated shades of green because I thought it provided a good contrast between the different levels or ground and sky.
I also included my astrological sign, Libra, in order to represent myself. The stars I included were due to my appreciation of the night sky and love for nature. I placed stars above and below to prevent my artwork from being too literal, since the art style of the Aboginie is mainly from an overhead perspective. Under my snake, I too created various swirls which represent mountainous regions and their shadows. Another element I included was rain because it is another one of my favorite things. By combining these symbols, I hoped to transmit my appreciation for what most take for granted. Most may view nature as something wild but I view it as a source of peace.
