Aboriginal boomerang

This activity was to learn about the aboriginals and how the boomerangs helped them and what they were used for, we had to do a slide/doc about the aboriginal people and the boomerangs before we were able to decorate our own.

This is how I decorated mine.

- At the top of the boomerang I painted a sun because the sun means giver of life and protector.
- The black tracks represents the kangaroo prints.
- The green and red line represents the rain.
- The blue waves represents the sea.

Colour meaning

Black: represents the aboriginal people in Australia
Red: represents the red earth, the red ochre used in ceremonies and aboriginal peoples' spiritual relation to the land.
Yellow: represents the sun, giver of life and protector.
Blue: represents peace and water.
Green: represents nature and renewal.


While I was painting my boomerang after I did one side I realised I didn't like
 the way I did it but with the short amount of time we had
and the amount of time it takes to dry I had to keep this way and just carried on.
