Subject: Body adornments
emi doerner 26/5/99
I am doing research for a summer camp activity about aboriginal body adornments. I saw that clay or some sort of paint is used to paint the body, I was wondering what exactly is used, what the different colors mean, and what patterns of painting are used.

I'm a French student writing a thesis on Aboriginal art and more precisely on its evolution and the reason of the changes it went through in the last century. I'm also very interested in the perception of those changes by indigenes and non-indigenes Australians. If you have any comments I'd be glad to hear them. thanks a million since I find it hard to get information.

The majority of Australians celebrate christmas as others around the western hemisphere do who have had contact with missionaries. Some peoples here such as the Torres Strait Islanders in the far north of Australia celebrate the missionaries arrival with a ceremony called the "Coming Of The Light". So ultimately we have adopted a lot of christian celebrations for now as we too are a very religious peoples.

Emi, the hardest thing is finding the right clay - people sometimes traded it for hundreds of miles, especially ochre for special
occasions. And for some people, in some places, they did very little painting The different colours mean different things in different places, and in some places certain colours, like red, were only allowed to
be used by certain, usually initiated people. As for patterns, these varied a lot, too. So if you are on summer camp, get some good quality earth (red, brown, white)
colours, and get into it. We're just getting into winter!! Send us a photo. Damien -
