Question

Dot painting is seen today as a unique artistic attribute of Australian Pintupi culture, and has become quite revered on the global art scene. When do anthropologists believe that this art form originated within the Australian settlement of Papunya?

Answer 1

Anthropologists believe that dot painting originated in 1971.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dot painting, which is now internationally recognised by anthropologists as unique Australian Aboriginal Art, originated in 1971 when Geoffrey Bardon was teaching children of the Aboriginal people in Papunya, and also inspired Aboriginal painters to introduce the dot painting technique which, either removed sensitive elements, or camouflaged them by using layers of paint and dots.
