Abstract

In the last issue, Dr. Collins and Mr. Fielding discussed the art education of fringe-dwelling Aboriginal children. Here, Mrs. Lendon provides insights into the art of a group of traditionally oriented children and assesses the impact that the European culture has had on their artistic expression.

In her letter, Mrs. Lendon particularly mentioned that she should be pleased to hear from any readers who have noticed interesting features in the art of rural or urban Aboriginal children.
