This painting is an Australian Aboriginal Dot painting. Most of the painting is made up of tiny dots of paint. The dots can be made by dipping the end of a paint brush or a pencil into the paint and dotting it onto the paper. Different tools are used to make different sized dots. What other tools do you think we could use to paint dot paintings like these?
