After encouraging the children to record their sand patterns in paint, he went on to encourage the adult men of the community to paint their Honey Ant Dreaming on the school wall, preserving their traditional Dreamings, or Tjukurpa, and stories in paint.

After encouraging children to document their sand patterns with paint, he then encouraged adult men in the community to paint their traditional Dreamings, or Tjukurpa, on the school wall.

Eric Michaels discusses this in his essay "Bad Aboriginal Art," noting how Bardon's leadership led elders to engage with international art movements of the 1960s and 70s, particularly the minimalist style prevalent in New York.
