1
Section 4 You will hear part of a lecture given by an art
2
and design lecturer on the topic of Aboriginal textile design in Australia.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 31 to 40 on page 7.
4
Thank you.
5
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
6
The Indigenous people of Australia,
7
or Aboriginals, have a long history of using animal and plant fibres to make a variety of fabric.
8
Over the years, their traditional designs and stories have been incorporated into various textiles.
9
The Erna Bella Arts Centre is a place where local Aboriginals can produce their traditional craft
10
and also learn new techniques to decorate fabric.
11
For the first 30 years, the artists crafted rugs working with wool.
12
These rugs incorporated their own unique designs.
13
However, as they became less economical to produce, the artists were introduced to batik, which is an Indonesian method of dyeing textiles.
14
Batik is quicker than weaving, so many of the Erna Bella artists started to produce it themselves.
15
Screen printing was later introduced to the centre,
16
and Erna Bella's artists were commissioned to produce fabric for furniture that was to be used at popular tourist destinations,
17
such as the National Park offices at Uluru.
18
Screen printing has also been used successfully by the Tiwi people, who live on islands north of Darwin.
19
Their company, Tiwi Designs, produces fabric that is inspired by their surroundings.
20
For example, they incorporated bird motifs into their early designs designs.
21
Tiwi art, culture and language are very different from those of mainland Aboriginal groups.
22
The patterns on their fabric are related to the beliefs and legends in their culture.
23
For example, some textile designs are chosen because they are thought to cause rain.
24
another successful aboriginal design company was founded by jimmy pike his dynamic prints paintings
25
and fabrics are greatly influenced by the australian landscape in particular
26
that of the desert which is often featured in this work pike worked with acrylic paint oil pastels and screen printing.
27
Surprisingly Jimmy Pike's life as an artist began in prison where he was serving a sentence for murder.
28
The art teachers there recognised his talent and gave him the technical skills he needed to become a successful artist.
29
After Pike's release he started his own company aiming to create a product
30
that would sell well commercially but still retain its Aboriginal cultural identity.
31
Eventually, he decided to bring his artwork onto textiles which were used to produce clothing.
32
The designs he selected were transferred onto cotton and had both a strong linear character and a good colour range.
33
Bronwyn Bancroft is one of the most successful
34
Aboriginal artists and designers to date.
35
She has produced a great deal of artwork and textiles and many of her paintings are held by Australian art galleries.
36
Her work reflects her Aboriginal roots, but always with a contemporary fresh view of family and the natural environment.
37
In 1995, she was chosen by a charity organisation to paint a pair of jeans owned by Cathy Freeman,
38
a famous Aboriginal Australian athlete.
39
She used imagery of lizards moving quickly over the Australian terrain I'm going to show you what I'm going to do.
40
and she added a rainbow, which represents the optimism that Cathy symbolises for all Aboriginal people.
41
In 2001, she was chosen to design costumes for the opening of the biggest street parade ever held in Australia,
42
the Journey of a Nation Parade.
43
The people in Bancroft's section of the parade all wore an outfit she designed.
44
It featured the image of a snake that had no head or tail to represent an ongoing culture.
45
Exploitation of creative work can be a problem for any artist
46
and copyright laws exist to protect individual artists from the unauthorised use of his or her work.
47
This issue is often more complex for Aboriginal artists as the symbols
48
and motifs used in their designs also hold cultural significance for them.
49
An example of this was when a businessman had rugs made overseas incorporating images stolen from Aboriginal paintings.
50
The carpet case, as it became known, was taken to court where luckily the artists won.
51
That is the end of Section 4.
52
You now have half a minute to check your answers.
53
Thank you.
54
You now have ten minutes to transfer your answers to the listening answer sheet.
55
You have two minutes left.
56
Thank you.
57
Thank you.
58
Thank you.
59
Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
