The techniques I can see that were used in this painting are small dots that I think was done with a stick. I think she also used a paint brush to paint the snake, and all the smaller pictures inside it.

The colours used in this picture are all very dark colours like light and dark brown, black, cream and burgandy. Some lighter colours are also included lke white and a very pale cream colour. I think all of these colours give the piece of art a very aboriginal feel.

The story I can see behind this painting, is a snake underground, surrounded by layers of dirt, coming outside through a hole where the colours are lighter.

One art lesson, we all went into class and met Aunty Sally. Over a couple of weeks, Sally helped us in our art classes and gave us tips on how to do things. In art we had to choose a photograph of the inside of a fruit, then we painted the whole backround of our painting red. Then I painted the apple over the top. Except, one lesson we went in and found ourselves putting black and white dots on our paintings to show the darker and lighter tones in the painting. The dotting is hard, and takes a lot of patience. When doing this, I have to be careful that I dont squeeze too much paint out, don't smudge the dots, and not make all the dots too far different in size.
Overall, this is an enjoyable task, and I can't wait to see my final product once I am finished.
