Up above the Burrunju Art Gallery, Dale Huddleston takes a couple of artists through his dot painting workshop.
Once he's shown them the basics, he'll equip them with a kit of craft sticks, paints and stencils, help them apply for a working with children check, and send them out to paint with primary school children.
"We've been doing workshops for years but I've decided that if we train people to do them we can have a roster of people," he says.
As well as showing children how to mix paint to the right colour and consistency for dot painting, the artists will also talk the students through the history of the style.
Dale says before missionaries introduced Aboriginal Australians to paints they created mosaics in sand using, feathers, flowers, stones and animal blood.
"It was a story about their land, and where they get their food from."
"Basically you were looking at a map of their land, and when they took the younger people, they'd teach them how to survive in the bush but this was through painting."
