Other information

This presentation will look at Indigenous art across Australia, pointing out the diversity of content, styles and materials – from rock art and bark paintings to wood and eventually canvas – but emphasising the consistent legends and myths connected with what indigenous people call The Dreaming, to do with the creation of the land. Artists from the Papunya group, who worked in the mid 1970’s at Hermannsburg, continued this tradition. Dot painting is thought to be typical of Indigenous art, but there are a number of other styles; contemporary art and sculpture is very diverse. Works from some of the artists will be shown.

REQUIREMENTS: No requirements; class members may take notes if they wish.

TUTOR: Dorothy was a teacher and administrator in the TAFE system for 30 years. She then spent 20 years as a voluntary guide with the NGV and is now a tutor at the Australian Tapestry Workshop in South Melbourne.

How to Enrol

On-line: after bookings have opened

On-line enrolments are preferred as this significantly reduces the amount of back-office work for our volunteers.

  • Login to the U3APP.org.au website.
  • Go to the Courses & Enrolling page.
  • Scroll down to find the course that you are interested in.
  • Does the course have spaces available?
    • Click on the course name to go to the booking page.
    • Click on “Book for this course or event”.
    • You will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

Paper Enrolment Form: before bookings open for First Semester

  • Obtain a paper Enrolment Form either from the Office or by printing an online copy available here.
  • Complete the paper Enrolment Form and submit it to the Office.

The start date for acceptance of paper Enrolment Forms for first semester is published on the U3APP website and in the e-Bulletin. Enrolment Forms received before this date are treated as though they had been received on the start date (ie there is no advantage to be gained by submitting early). On the start date and thereafter, paper Enrolment Forms are numbered in order of receipt.  Paper Enrolment forms are processed by U3APP volunteers on the same day as on-line bookings.

If your enrolment is successful, you will receive a confirmation email.  Please check your Junk/Spam folders as these automatically-generated emails often finish up there.

If your enrolment is unsuccessful,  you will receive an email telling you that you have been waitlisted.
