Question: PLEASE ANSWER (OR TRY TO ANSWER) THIS!!!!!!!!!!?
I have asked this question twice already, with hardly any responses (3)!. My my art coursework I need to create a large textiles mural sort of thing which combines aboriginal and urban culture!. I really need some ideas, because I have already wasted my time with it, as I had started, found it looked awful and am starting again!. The canvas is a large square with bricks printed onto the top right hand corner and the bottom left hand corner!. I also have a banksy figure on the bottom corner!.
I need any ideas you can give me, ANY IDEAS PLEASE!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are many beautiful patterns in Aboriginal art see, eg!. http://www!.aboriginalartstore!.com!.au/!?g=!.!.!.
Why don't you fill the whole space of your canvas with different patterns but leave a large sprawling area empty at the centre of yur canvas!. Here one could put in buildings representing a modern city - e!.g!. high rise buildings, streets with cars!. You could depict this built up area in such a way that the viewer gets the impression that a modern city is gradually swallowing up land which was once the home of Aboriginees!. (Land represented by their traditional patterns)!.
I am not sure how the banksy figure which you have already put in to your mural relates to this idea!. But perhaps you can think of something, or else remove it completely!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
I think I need to point out that this is YOUR coursework and by this time will have been attending lectures and should know how to find the answer yourself!.
I mean it is all there, but YOU have to put the work in!.
Just research and combine aboriginal and urban culture and guess what!.!.!. put it onto a large textile mural!
You can do it, just put the blinking effort in and stop asking others!.

By aboriginal do you mean native Australian or just native!?
If native Australian the things most instantly recognisable are Ayer's Rock, I know but I have forgotten, and the boomerang and the didgereedoo!.
Urban well bricks and mortar, buses and cars!.
You could try an Ayer's Rock roundabout, with buses and cars whizzing around it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
type aboriginal into google and look at the patterns and colours, and textures they use and include them into your canvas, i also agree with the first comment, this is YOUR project!. you should use your past experience!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The colonization of Canada dramatically changed the lives of First Nations people!. Europeans brought with them diseases of small pox, tuberculosis, and influenzas to which Indian people had no immunities!. Native people were pushed from their lands and forced to relocate on reserves in order to make way for European settlers!. Missionaries came to convert the Indians to their Christian religions!. Native ceremonies were prohibited and paraphernalia were confiscated by authorities!. The Canadian Government forced Native children to attend residential schools and speak languages that were foreign languages!. Colonization and the "Doctrine of Discovery" resulted in similar consequences for indigenous people around the world!.
At a later date the development of new technologies and mass media created new problems!. Photographs, books and movies portrayed Indians as hostile, savage, childlike and subservient - people who had to be conquered and controlled!. Generations of Native people grew up surrounded by stereotypes and negative images of themselves!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
