•In traditional Aboriginal painting, several recurring patterns and styles are used.
•The main pattern elements are:
- Dots (evenly spaced to form outlines or areas of colour/tone).
- Concentric shapes (for instance a range of smaller circles inside a larger circle, getting progressively smaller).

The painting in the background of this slide is an example of a painting that uses concentric shapes.
However, there are also spirals in this design too (follow one line with your eye; see where it ends).

In the painting below, notice how dots are used to create a texture or area of tone.
It is important which colour is used for the background paint and which colour is used for the ‘foreground’ dots.
