X-ray Art Coloring Pages
X-ray Art Coloring Pages were inspired by artwork created by the indigenous people of Australia. Commonly known as Aborigines, they have different names for themselves, one of which is the Koori. Some of their ancestral art has survived the centuries and can still be seen today, on cave walls and the sides of rocks. They often drew Australian animals, as well as themselves and their Gods. The style known as X-ray Art, not only captures the spirit of the animal drawn, it also provides an inside look under the skin! Within a simple drawing of an animal's outline is depicted its highly stylized skeletal structure and organs. Another distinction of this style is that there is rarely any negative or empty space. The spaces are filled with interesting designs, as well as cross-hatching and dots. If you'd like to learn more about
Aboriginal history,
visit this site created by my pal down under, Marylyn Broomhall. There is an awesome video featuring a glimpse of Aboriginal life, including the creation of artwork and traditional dances. It is set to the music of a Didgeroo - a unique instrument handcrafted by the Australian Aborigines.
