    I'm not sure if this'll help you, since I don't have visuals or a site to
    refer you to. However, I was researching contemporary Australian Aboriginal
    painting for a lesson I'm doing with my 5th graders. My students and I were
    interested in where they got the idea for all those cool dots-where they
    came from - and I found out by reading a blurb on a reproduction that they
    were derived from Aboriginal body painting imagery! I don't have any further
    details, but I'm looking. Perhaps our Australian art teachers could fill us
    all in on specifically who's bodies were (are?) painted, what it looked
    like, how they did it, and why. I know my 5th graders and I would sure like
    to hear more.
