Blossom lives with her two aunts, one uncle, two cousins, her only sister, and her mother, but she doesn’t have a father. Since Blossom was a small cub, Mustard seed (her mother) told her that her father died from being hit by a car.
 Over time, Blossom begins to question the story her mother told her and grows darker and more savage as time passes on, her temper is short, and she doesn’t feel at home in Freemans Pasture. One day she ventures to the edge of her family's territory, which is an old mossy stone wall. She feels drawn to the other side and convinces herself to climb over. On the other side of the wall is an open, barren view of the moors. She soon meets up with the Moorland badgers and finally meets her father, named Macbeth. My narrative art is centered around finding your identity and the type of people you choose to belong with.

My drawing represents all of the things i like or have anything to do with me. For example, the three flags combined are where i am from and the guitar is because i like music. the planet is because i like space and the world is half global warming and half normal.

I drew this because I am from Libya and I have family in Libya that has been there before. As you can see there are the rocky bits, which is like this really high rocky mountain where people go there for the view,  there's the clear aqua water where people swim, tourist around and fish there. This place is mostly known for swimming and it is really popular in Libya.]]> 2022-05-09 06:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175169264 Evie https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175169668 My artwork is about a monster from hell whose face is stuck to a barbed fence, but I created a background to show that he is on the gateway to hell scaring the people going there. it is meant to represent the gateway to hell and how even the greeting there is horrifying and scary. The background colors are red, orange, and yellow as hell is the underground whilst heaven is in the clouds and underground there is the core of the earth which is extremely hot.]]> 2022-05-09 06:31:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175169668 Michael https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175170811 The only flying platypus in the world flies through the sky.

I like to surf at Trigg and down south. At Margaret River you have to paddle out quite far so i did the painting of like the farout rather than near the reef. The beach I based it on though is up north, Coronation Beach, near Geraldton.

It’s a big school and things spread fast. A bad rumor was spreading around the school. Everyone was staring at her as she walk down the halls, she had no one to talk to and felt left out. People whispered as she passed, “Annoying, how dare she!”, “She looks so fat and stupid” and “I heard that she was …”. Everything fade out as she started to feel weak and lightheaded. She ran straight to the bathroom, letting everyone stare at her while she ran to the bathroom …]]> 2022-05-09 06:34:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175172666 Promise https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175174294 'Ying and Yang'
my artwork is two sides, the first side is about my mum's side of the family Lebanese/Kiwi, and everything that is from that side of my family then the other half is from my dad's side of the family Filipino/Spanish and everything on that side, I have used traditional tattoo designs and made my own, my family crest and traditional cultural things.]]> 2022-05-09 06:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175174294 Alex Stewart https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175175175 Squids are animals that usually hunt and live in packs and groups. This squid is all alone and without a pack. This squid is an outcast and does not have any friends or family to swim with. The squid has a stern expression and is not happy as it swims along its way. In the background, you can see the deep ocean with nothing around. This symbolises the emptiness that the squid feels without a pack. The squid is dark which symbolises the sadness and depression that engulfs the squid.]]> 2022-05-09 06:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175175175 Liora Kremnizer https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175176563 'The boy across the fence'
The backstory to my picture relates back to the book or movie “ the boy in the striped pajamas.” It portrays the themes of despair and hope in the same picture. Behind the gate, there is a child who is trapped behind the gate. In front of the gate, there is a child who is safe and free. The child behind the gate portrays the theme of being ‘trapped’. He is trapped behind the gate, imprisoned by the Nazis, and not free. Whereas the child in front of the gate is privileged and free to do whatever he wants. Even though they are so different, they find a way to create love and friendship. ]]> 2022-05-09 06:37:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175176563 max https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175177299 this drawing is about two dragons that look like they are opposites of each other, but they are meeting each other for the first time. they are both wondering who and what the other one is. so they stay together and question each other about where they come from and how they do things in their lands, and what they do there.]]> 2022-05-09 06:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175177299 Talisa https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175177920 This artwork tells the story of an astronaut who has been training to be sent to space to colonise a new star system. Now on her mission, she is gazing out in wonder as she sees for the first time the beauty of outer space and the planets, and realises the amazing things humanity has achieved, while her friend is encouraging her and having fun floating in space. It is meant to spread a message of the beauty of outer space and the future. ]]> 2022-05-09 06:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175177920 Sophia https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175179523 BACKGROUND:
The 1593 battle of Nareusan beating the Burmese ruler on elephant-back in Thailand (part of my origin). A representation on how elephants were used as war instruments during war in Thailand. The meaning behind this artwork is to illustrate old Thai traditions through a 2-scene story. This is so people can get to know more about different cultures in an eye perceiving way.

STORY:
While 2 ladies are working in the rice fields to support the country agriculturally, a man is riding on elephant back to support his country in the war. They both are doing 2 different things to support Thailand showcased in different scenes. We are all connected in someway.]]> 2022-05-09 06:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175179523 Kanta https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175182211 This pen drawing shows that this world, including the sea, has beautiful and evil things. As you can see, the left side is drawn in black, representing evil. Under the dark sea, there are scary and dangerous creatures such as the shark, the octopus, and a face with a creepy eye and a smile. On the other side, the beautiful blue sea, there are beautiful creatures like the dolphin and the jellyfish, representing the beautiful things in the world.]]> 2022-05-09 06:42:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175182211 Kanta https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175182212 The snake of the black paper is also representing that fact that, even if the snake and the rose ‘looks’ beautiful, snakes are poisonous and the spike in the roes can make you bleed.
I want to show that in everything, there are good and bad, beautiful, evil and dangerous things.

'Reconciliation'
I created this piece that you can see which shows a hand on the top and a darker hand on the bottom, these hands represent an attempt at reconciliation between the Aboriginal people and the English settlers. I have made this artwork because the way that these people were treated by the English ancestors was inhumane and quite horrible and the efforts made at reconciliation don’t even scratch the surface for the amount of apologies that they deserve. So this art piece is meant to display maybe one small little step towards that reconciliation ideal. The background is filled with many symbols and colours that help to bring the hands forward and bring the overall themes together. ]]> 2022-05-09 06:44:23 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175184525 Wendy Farmer https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175184979 My idea mainly centered around this piece was to create a character profile of The Badgers Of Freemans Pasture (the characters in my narrative). I decided to form familial connections between the characters. I wanted to write a small fact sheet about each character next to all the illustrations, this would include the characters' star signs, family members, and personalities. I took inspiration from Beatrix Potter's illustrations through the use of light watercolor.]]> 2022-05-09 06:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175184979 advita https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175187265
My artwork is a shark. I like the ocean, where these great whites live. I like to surf and I like going down south to Margaret River. I think that the tessellation in the back of my artwork conveys a deep ocean theme. The shark represents the ocean and the being connected with it.]]> 2022-05-09 06:46:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175187265 Ethan Harman https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175190210 The meaning of my artwork was to say that not everyone is bad although they might show it. They might just be going through something. The ideas I had for my artwork was to make a devil that had an honest and nice personality but all because it looked bad everyone thought it was evil. ]]> 2022-05-09 06:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2175190210 Chloe https://padlet.com/ArtsISWA/m4tg6qkt9lgihr7f/wish/2176644730 I took a more personal approach to this assessment, our task was to create narrative-based art, my take on this was a personal story, a biography portrayed through imagery. It all started in 2008 on April 6th at St. Edwards Hospital where Chloe Lewis was brought into this world, I have lived in Perth, WA my whole life, my favorite place has always been Cottesloe beach specifically at sunset and my nationalities are Welsh and Australian.
