How did aboriginal people paint aboriginal paintings?

Aborigines were resourceful people who extracted a variety of colours from their natural environment They obtained red, orange, dark purple, brown and orange from grinding ochre to a powder. Ochre was found naturally in rock stained by iron, which would give it the reddish hues Yellow was obtained by mixing clay, or by collecting pebbles that contained a limonite-stained form of kaolin White also came from the kaolin, or even white clays. Calcite, a chalky mineral, as well as ash are used to make white pigments.

Calcite occurs naturally in calcrete deposits Black was obtained from charcoal, and could be mixed with kaolin to make grey Dark green was made from plant colourings Tree bark, crushed shells and blood also gave variety of colour. The availability of some colours are peculiar to the area that the artist finds himself in These paint bases were mixed with fluids such as saliva, blood, tree sap or yolk of various birds' eggs to help them adhere Twigs, fibres and fingers were used for painting to get different strokes like a paint brush.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
