Aboriginal art includes work made in many different ways including painting on leaves, rock carving, wood carving, sculpting, ceremonial clothing and sand painting. Aboriginal art is closely linked to religious ceremonies and rituals. It is an important part of the world's oldest continuous cultural tradition, based on totems and the Dreaming.
Symbols are used in aboriginal art, to show different things. While the meaning of these symbols is often shared, they can change meaning within the same piece, and they can be different between different groups. Aboriginal art is a language in itself, communicating through beautiful patterns. This started around 30,000 to 40,000 years ago.
Today aboriginal arts are often colored drawings with liquid based color on canvas. aboriginal paintings are regarded as fine art, and high prices are often paid for it on the international art markets.
For Painting
Canvas has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels.Canvas is typically stretched across a wooden frame called a stretcher and may be coated with gesso before you use; this is to avoid oil paint from coming into direct contact with the canvas fibres, which will eventually cause the canvas to decay. A traditional and flexible chalk gesso is composed of lead carbonate and linseed oil, applied over a rabbit skin glue ground; a variation using titanium white pigment and calcium carbonate is rather brittle and susceptible to cracking. As lead-based paint is poisonous, care has to be taken in using it.
Process in making a canvas
Gather your supplies. To make a canvas on a wood frame, you will need the following supplies. You can find these supplies at your local art store.
- A long piece of art canvas. You should get a canvas that is long enough to create your ideal canvas size.
- Four stretcher bars. They are referring to wooden bars that have notches on one end. You should get two stretcher bars that are the ideal width you want for the canvas and two stretcher bars that are the ideal height you want for the canvas.
You will also need materials such as:
Hammer
Staple Gun
Strecher
Pen
Tape measure
2. Fit the stretcher bars together. Take one long stretcher bar and one short stretcher bar.
Slide the notched ends of the stretcher bars together, pushing with your hands until the
two ends side together.
3. Tap the sides lightly with the hammer. To ensure all sides of the canvas are fitted properly, you can use the hammer to tap sides.
4. Cut the canvas to fit the wood frame by using scissors and then use your hands to tear
the canvas so the excess canvas comes off.
5. Attach the canvas to the frame using the staple gun. Fold over one short sides to cover
the frame.Make sure to secure both sides with the staples.
For these very simple process you can make canvases by yourself as well just in case you need it urgently.

Differences between print and oil painting
If you want to tell the difference between a print and a painting can be difficult, especially when the work is under glass and masquerading as a watercolor, or is a high-tech “textured” print meant to fool us with an application of convincing faux-brushstrokes.Difference between a print and a watercolor can be just as difficult as determining if you’ve got an oil painting or a textured print. Telling the difference between a print and a watercolor, start by taking it out of the frame so you can really get a good, close look at the surface. If you’re worried about putting the frame back together, a local framer can usually help you take the work out of the frame and re-assemble it for just a small fee if you call ahead.
Not everyone can afford an original painting, and prints provide a an affordable means of adding art to one's life and walls -- an extremely important matter in a world that is increasingly focused on facts and numbers and the bottom line. Without art, we become spiritless, hard-edged and cynical.
Prints are multiples of the same piece, created through a printmaking technique. One of the most common types of prints is the one produced by a photo-mechanical process. The image is photographically transferred from an original source and is mass reproduced. Do not confuse this with original prints.
Oil Paintings are artwork unique, which is generally a single metal plate; stone block, wooden block or screen that is hand-made by the artist. Each impression is done by the artist or artisan and the matrix is later destroyed. The paintings are traditionally signed and numbered in pencil by the artist and generally called “Limited Edition Prints”.
