  • This was written by Ian Fairweather. When I looked at this for the first time, I thought this was a so ambiguous painting, but it’s a little different. They look like dark, but in fact they are seeing the view of beach in Moreton island and they hope silent delight. I don’t know why it looks like dark or I don’t think it is a skillful painting, but this bus stop attracts me. It’s a fantastic art.

     He worked closely with the renowned Australian anthropologist Professor and Bandak offered to make his own maps for the anthropologist. This work show that Murrinh-Patha landscapes that conveyed the political, spiritual, cultural and physical importance of the land to his people. Muting-Patha is the language which is spoken by about 2500 people now. 
     I think this is a abstract art. I couldn’t understand this is a map at first. However, the reason why I chose this one that I like these colours of this work. These colours are not vibrant but warm. Various brown souls are used in this art instead of paints

It was painted in 2013 by Michael Zavros. This picture is a man floating in the pool. He chose to paint in a bright and colorful theme.

    I picked up this picture because when I first time saw it, it looks like a real photo!!! The reflection in the water surprise me as I know it is not exist. It is very interesting that the artist used a lighting visual technique in his work.

    She used the same method of writing to regional post offices asking them if they had a “Big Thing” in their town and most replied if they did or not.
    This picture is like a tourist map so I can know what famous thing each town has and It’s funny because everything were drowned big! I like it’s atmosphere too!]]>     2018-03-18 22:17:40 UTC https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243265120     Elizabeth woodville, widow of EdwardⅣ, parting with her younger son, the Duke of York when Elizabeth learned that the prince of wales had fallen into the power of his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243265203 This is painted by Phillip H Calderon in 1900.
    There are a mother and her son in the middle of this picture.
    They will separate because she is a widow. They are never seen each other again.
    This picture expresses gloomy, dark and sad by using dark color.
    All people’s faces look sad so we can feel sad as well.
    This is a representational art.

    Everyone knows that Australia is a large country and sunlight is strong. These orange lines appear to be the the shining ground. The drawer had never seen Australia from above. However, he linked his agricultural knowledge to the land. So, he could describe the same aspect as the one which we have today]]>     2018-03-18 22:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243265275     The Country Rail Networks of Australia https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243265425 The Country Rail Networks of Australia is one of an artwork, called Landscape Mapped, which made by Noel McKenna. It has a very detailed picture about rail networks all arround Australia. This map painting is completely interesting and understandable. McKenna has mapped Australia from an unfamiliar viewpoint, which can give me a kind of calming by this kind of data and information. 


    The Country Rail Networks of Australia makes me feel like I am travelling arround Australia by train through this remarkable artwork. This is an extraordinary artwork that used maps creatively and showed me something I had never known about Australia.

  • There is a tree named jacaranda。As Brisbane wakes from its wintery slumber, the hills, parks and water-front blossom into a burst of spring colour. When and where can you find Jacarandas in Brisbane ？Jacaranda season is soon approaching, with Brisbane showing off some of the best blooms in Australia. Whilst Jacarandas are not native to Australia—they originate from Brazil—these beautiful trees are now a staple city landscaping plant and are dotted around Brisbane and its outskirts. Showering the footpaths and grass with a stunning violet veil, Jacarandas provide an amazing backdrop for your spring photo shoots—what could be more stunning for a family portrait than a crisp spring morning with the purple hue of a Jacaranda?

These are from an era regarded as transitional, when Aboriginal traditions were interrupted and hybrid cultural forms were established. On these bull horns, the scene which people chase bulls described minutely. These are Aboriginal design.
    I think these are powerful. They described what Aboriginal daily life was. That’s why I chose these horns. I’m surprised because these are described in detail. Aboriginal people had been lived strongly and they were good with their fingers.]]>     2018-03-18 22:25:32 UTC https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243266253     This is one of Albert's story' series 2014 https://padlet.com/j_steele2/x3g360umfjut/wish/243266844 In sydney - Yeah.!!
