#DotArt emerged from the Western Desert. In particular dot art first came from an #Aboriginal settlement called #Papunya.

Today Aboriginal dot art paintings vary from the finest of minute marks neatly arranged on the canvas to the wild and multi-colored large finger dotting.

Some #artists merge their dots into lines, or even into wide areas of connecting dots. These merged dots have more of a stippled effect than a dotted appearance.
