    Gina - thanks for your honest reply. My stubborn K-5 artists won;t copy
    things exactly (thank goodness) we studied the styles of the aborigines but
    no one would
    consider them the real thing. We used a video from Crizmac - there are two
    in their catalog = one is 15 minutes long and not worth the money - the other
    is about 45 minutes long and wonderful - gives history and culture. However
    it does give lesson plans that follow the aboriginal paintings and drawings.
    Did not know about the
    objections from the indigineous people. We study, draw and paint our Native
    American artists in art classes - some of us have the proud heritage of Native
    Americans in our families so maybe we can feel comfortable creating from
    Native American Heritage.? Did not mean to offend anyone. Theres that
    saying about
    Tell me --------- Show me --------- Let me create it and I;'ll
    remember it for a life time. Not accurate I know - it's been a long day.
    Thanks Roberta
