Abstract

In this workshop you will learn about the similarities and differences between the ancient Rock Art Frescoes of Australian Aboriginal, Chinese and Egyptian. You will explore the different specific mental processes used to create spatial depth in a selection of ancient rock art frescoes. Participants will create their own miniature sculptural petroglyph based on the findings and apply engraving and painting techniques to the frescoes. Demonstrations will be given on how to hold the Chinese brush and apply the moku ink-splash method of Chinese painting as well as how to use natural ochres in their works.
