HOW TO START CREATING YOUR ART

30 April 2021 True Culture

Art is a universal language. Everyone experiences art differently, but it still
communicates. Art is therapeutic. Art therapy is successful for a variety of
ailments. Art relaxes. Art evokes emotions and opens communication channels. Art
is for everybody.

Yes. Art does all of that. For these reasons, it is important for anyone who
wants to, to start creating their own art. Here are some tips for getting
started.


CHOOSE A MEDIUM



The first step is to decide which medium to use. There are so many options that
this may take a while. Do some reading and ask around. Talk to other artists to
help with understanding the different mediums. Choose from painting, drawing,
singing, dancing, sculpting, photography, and so many others.


WATCH VIDEOS OR DO A COURSE



Watch some videos on YouTube or sign up for a free course. There are many online
courses available that will cover the basics and set the path.


GET SOME BASIC SUPPLIES



Once the medium is transparent, and some background knowledge gained, some
shopping is in order. Some art forms require more supplies than others. For
drawing, pencil and paper is enough. Photography, on the other hand, involves a
camera of some sort and possibly editing software.


START CREATING



Once everything is in place, start creating. There is a good chance the first
few attempts will come out horribly. This is okay. Just keep trying, practising
and expressing.


HONE THE SKILLS

If the experience is enjoyable, do some more courses. Get some training from a
practising artist. Hone the skills needed to keep creating.

These steps will get anyone who wants to create art on the right path. Not
everyone is equally creative or talented. However, this should not discourage a
beginner artist. If the purpose is to make the art a business, some formal
training may be needed. If it’s just a hobby, have a go at it and have fun.

browsers like https://bitstarz-casino.org, and several event centres.

When visiting Australia next, place some of these locations on the itinerary.


THE STAR CASINO IN SYDNEY

This is one of the top casinos in Australia and a popular tourist attraction.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SAFEKEEPING TRADITION AND CULTURE

26 March 2021 True Culture

Every being has a history. Everyone has an identity. Social groups have specific
traditions and customs that they follow. It doesn’t matter the person or the
tribe that person belongs to. There is history, practice, and culture. Tradition
and culture play critical roles in the world. Here are three reasons why people
fight to keep their tradition and culture alive.


TRADITION AND CULTURE HANDS DOWN HISTORY AND IMPORTANT FACTS.

Today, there are history books and online resources. Most people can find some
of their history in these. However, not all things are captured in such
publications or resources. Much of history is passed down through generations by
storytelling and artefacts. There is richness and sacredness to this process.

With the Aboriginal people in Australia, stories and drawings were their way of
recording history. This is true for many other cultures and tribes.
Archaeologists are still finding remnants of old civilisations. They are finding
drawings, artefacts, and bones that tell the story of these people’s histories.


TRADITION AND CULTURE TEACH LESSONS TO NEW GENERATIONS.

Following traditions and cultural norms teach younger members of the group. This
is true for both modern and ancient civilisations and people. Children are told
stories and taught certain customs to keep tradition and culture alive. Once
this stops, entire societies and groups become extinct and forgotten.


TRADITION AND CULTURE SHAPE PEOPLE’S IDENTITIES.

Because most people grow up with certain traditions and stories, it shapes their
identity. There are, of course, other aspects that also shape identity. However,
tradition, how children are raised, and specific cultural customs shape who they
become. Tradition and culture form an important part of every person’s life and
journey.

In the last century, the world has changed drastically. Tremendous technological
advances made things possible that were never imagined. The world became more
significant and smaller at the same time. People waged war over territories.
This and so many other things changed a lot about the world and how people
lived.

With all of these changes, many older traditions may have fallen away. However,
every culture and group tend to keep some of the sacred things. Tradition,
culture, and history are essential parts of all people’s lives. Some may deny
it, but everyone is impacted by what they learn and see from those who came
before them.

DO ABORIGINAL PEOPLE GAMBLE?

14 March 2021 True Culture

Betting on the outcome of something or playing cards have been around for a long
time. Gambling has become an accepted way of relaxing, winning money, and
fighting boredom. Today, people can easily access gambling platforms and games
online. Bitstarz casino bonus offerings and other online casinos make gambling
easy and convenient.

Gambling is common among the Aboriginal people of Australia. Families playing
cards and betting circles are a common sight. Kids are exposed to gambling at an
early age. They play for sweets or cigarettes. With this early exposure, it is
easy to understand the high rate of gambling problems among the Aboriginal
people.

Aboriginal people enjoy gambling for the same reasons as anyone else. However,
they tend to have lower incomes and high unemployment rates. This means that
developing gambling problems are easier in some ways. Escaping social and
economic issues is one big reason for gambling. Boredom and feelings of
loneliness also contribute.

Community leaders and the government are aware of these issues. The government
have put in place Aboriginal gambling counsellors. Unfortunately, people refuse
to talk about these types of problems. They also tend not to ask for help. It is
something that needs a lot of work. People need to feel safe and not judged when
seeking help.

Gambling is a fun way to escape problems and just relax for a bit. The problem
comes in when people don’t know when to stop. If someone is exhibiting signs of
a gambling problem, reach out and try to help them. Some places want to help.
Contact the Aboriginal Safe Gambling Program for more information or assistance.

Playing casino games or cards can be great fun. Online casinos have made
gambling more fun and accessible, which is not in itself a bad thing. However,
play responsibly and stay safe.

WHO EXACTLY ARE THE AUSTRALIAN ABORIGINAL PEOPLE?

6 March 2021 True Culture

The Australian Aboriginal people are the original Australians. They have lived
on the island for approximately 20 000 to 60 000 years. They have a rich history
and culture.

Before the European settlers landed on Australian soil, the indigenous people
were mostly foragers and hunter-gatherers. The largest communities of indigenous
people can still be found near and around the Murray River. The indigenous
people consist of several colonies or tribes that vary drastically in many
aspects.



It would be impossible to cover the history of the Aboriginal people here.
However, it is essential to know that there is a lot of differences between
different groups. They have different languages, histories, and customs. Their
symbolism and art are different as well as their traditions and stories.

In the last 50 years or so, the world became aware of the Aboriginal people. A
teacher went to some of the tribe leaders and convinced them to share some of
their stories. This was when Aboriginal art emerged as a consumer item. People
loved the art and the stories it told. This was also the only way in which some
of the groups and families earned money.

Today, the different indigenous groups have Westernised in some ways. They wear
more modern clothes and sell their art for an income. Despite this, all
Aboriginal groups are very traditional and have great respect for their history
and traditions. Many of these traditions and rituals are sacred and not for
public viewing.



This is who the Aboriginal people are in a nutshell. There is a lot more to
learn about them. There are many examples of their original art available
online. To gain a deeper understanding of these exciting people, view some of
their craft.

4 MAIN ELEMENTS OF ABORIGINAL ART

3 March 2021 True Culture

Aboriginal art is central to the indigenous culture. The Aboriginal people do
not have a specific language. They communicate through symbols and storytelling.
They have been creating art and telling stories for thousands of years. It was
only in the 1970s when their culture and art became known to the world.

Western words cannot fully explain or express Aboriginal art and culture. The
concept of Dreamtime represents the time when Aboriginal people believe the
world was created. It also encompasses rules to live by, their connection to the
earth, and the interaction with the world. Even this does not fully capture what
Dreamtime means to them.

The art created by Aboriginal artists can vary drastically. The elements and
features of a piece of art are dependent upon several things. Things like the
specific tribe or clan have a considerable impact. Different tribes have the
rights to different stories. They are not allowed to tell someone else’s story.
They also use different techniques and colours.

Some of the elements that can be found in most Aboriginal art pieces are listed
below.


SYMBOLS



The use of symbols is extremely important in Aboriginal culture. They
communicate through symbols. Everything is represented by symbols – animals,
people, emotions, etcetera. Symbolism is a huge element that can be found in
most Aboriginal art, regardless of the medium.


COLOUR



The use of colour is another significant element found in indigenous art.
Different tribes use different colours. Some only use ochre. Others use primary
colours while others incorporate vibrant colours. The choice and use of colours
can say a lot about the artist, history, and family.


STORYTELLING



Storytelling is a major part of Aboriginal culture. It is how they share their
history with younger generations. It is how they communicate. Every piece of art
tells a story. People from certain groups may only tell stories about their own
families and tribes. They need permission to share or paint stories that belong
to someone else or the culture as a whole.


AUTHENTICITY



Not anyone can make a painting and call it Aboriginal art. This art form may be
part of Contemporary art, but only true Aboriginal people can create Aboriginal
art. Someone who simply copies the techniques but is not a direct descendent of
an Aboriginal tribe cannot claim that their art is Aboriginal. All Aboriginal
art is authentic.

These are not the only elements of Aboriginal art. The art can be quite diverse.
Contemporary Aboriginal artists have also started using other mediums like
photography. The main thing that makes Aboriginal art is the fact that the
artists are authentically part of the indigenous tribes and culture. The rest is
choice and based on permission.
