Term 4

Welcome back hope you all had a good break!

Yes the last few weeks have arrived and it will be busy!

On Monday we will be putting up the work for the Ron Rado at the Drum Theatre. If you can help put up the work be there at 9.30am ..it should not take too long.

The idea of the catalog is now happening.. thanks to Pete. Pradyna and John are designing the booklet. Please get 3 or 4 of your best images 300dpi ,height 8cm.... to Pradyna also a short artist statement (Word). This is URGENT.

The Zoo excursion is on for this Wednesday. There is class this Tuesday with the model.
Friday we will focus on the final video and start getting images prepared for the exhibition.

I have been able to secure some book awards through the campus bookstore.

I will be posting a list of what needs to be assessed on My Chisholm on Monday.

D

End of term

Sorry everyone that I had to bail out early today. Life is always full of the unexpected.

Pradyna, you canvas looks fantastic! Well done. Please post the image on your blog.
I hope the rest of you were able to get things printed.

Pete stop looking at Roach..!!! he is just one example. There are many artists who put images next to each other, so that they "feed" off each other.. if Roach is confusing look elsewhere..be yourself..the idea is how one chooses to link images.. there are many ways to do this...Rauschenberg is different to Ernst, is different to Mathiesen...

What if you put an Photographic image next to a sign or symbol? Does the symbol influence how one might read the photo?

James, Take some CLOSE UP shot of the heros in focus...other work looked good.

Lidia I will see your work on Friday to resolve Ron Rado.. same with Alycia..(hope u r feeling better).

The invites are now printed and I collected them this evening they look great.

We will next meet on the Friday 8th October no class Tuesday.
We will visit Franston campus on the Tuesday 19 Oct. at 11.30am.
We will now go to the Zoo on the 13 Oct (not the 6th) as I won't be able to make it for medical reasons.

Have a good break, come back refreshed.. Term 4 will come and go before you know it!

To Sean...good luck with the rest of the year..hope to see you next year.


Take care everyone

David.

CALDER 2

Questions and lack of sleep!

It was a good day on Friday...some clarity towards Ron Rado and the Interactions exhibitions... a humble but good feeling in the class..and at last some direction with the last video painting...well done.
Ron Rado was a business man with vision. I met him only once a few months before he died. He came in to the department because he want th art students to help design go karts for kids..at Gumbaya Park..One got the feeling this man lived every day..

Reading "Questions" I'm not sure we have a choice much of the time. As much as we want to think we can control tomorrow, it really isn't up to us. The word" important" too, seems very relative...important to who, what, etc...

The artist Turner, produced both quality and quantity.. (most of his work is stored in the vaults under the old Tate Museum in London). Van Gogh lived quite a tortured life, yet read his letters to his brotherTheo, and it reveals a man of great intelligence and sentitivity...the moments he spent painting and drawing were his bliss...

The Sculptor Alexander Calder (see the film of his CIRCUS that he made out of wire)had an almost childlike wonderment about life...and lived a long life.

I guess for me you are in "the moment" and you make of it what you can. Try to say yes to life...when things are low, there is always another perspective and it's our choice what we do with our minds...there is the thought..that every challenge brings with it an opportunity...

The camera idea for the video ...I like it Pradnya...it takes the viewer into your world....go for it!

Anish Kapoor and Public art

Anish Kapoor , The Bean, Chicago

There was an interesting program on TV on Saturday about the respected artist Anish Kapoor. There is a piece of his work at Heide Art Gallery if anyone has been there. Kapoor creates images that seem to have a strange ability to engage the viewer with the experience of looking
and what it means to be the viewer. Some of his work seems to have a power to transcend beyond the material and questions without imposing some "big truth". The above piece 'The Bean" has clearly has a positive impact on the people of Chicago.

Some of you may have watched the video by Andy Rooney: A Critique
of Modern Art recently posted. While the examples used in this essay are deliberately chosen to maximise a laughable view of Modern Art, we are also left with the opinion that there is not much in the art world to respect.

If the world of art was what Rooney portrays I would want to agree with him, there is certainly an enormous amount of mediocre and empty objects veiled as art. However, Rooney fails to give a balanced picture. For all the rubbish out there, there is also the amazing, incredibile, inpiring creations that remind us of our time, that transport us to world beyond the mundane. I think Kapoor is one of these artists and there are others.

Rooney makes a point, but it is short sighted. Perhaps the strength of art education is to learn to see what is really there, and to make up our minds independant of persuasive yet quite limited perspectives.

Review, upcoming "Interaction" exhibition and Ron Rado

Hi Everyone

A few people away yesterday due to illness. Please make sure you bring your work in next week.

The Review:

Photography:

The 12 photos based on mood seems to be well resolved. I think it allowed you to look at alternative ways of developing the photographic image using Photoshop. It also showed that a tutorial is only a guide and for final resolution one's own aesthetic needs to apply. This is art...learning the rules, then breaking them!

We will need to see all the photos from the group to resolve presentation for the exhibition.

Printmaking:

The etching were very strong...well done! Also some meritable results with the collographs and monotypes. The digital side in some instances could still develop further.

Drawing:

The head is difficult to draw and I think from where you started there was progress.. drawing is a skill and like most skills needs practise, keep drawing...

The range of approaches to the head, from text to looking at other artists produced some varied results...the idea of exploring differentways of looking and interpreting.

The projection painting:

Wow! Congratulations to Pradnya, John, Pete and Narmin.This is learning curve stuff, with all the pitfalls of learning what the game is about.. you have created some great results..they are exciting...I'm also looking forward to seeing how James and Alycia resolve their pieces.. and those of you not here yesterday.

NEW BLOCK of work:

We start the final Block next week. I will present the assignment on Tuesday. We also start up again with figure drawing.

Ron Rado:

Please speak to me on Tuesday about what you have.. you may need to bring in work on Friday ..or we will need to go through what you have on the computer.

Next Friday:

Discussion on what to show for the Interaction exhibition.

Preparing folios for interviews. specially those interested in Graphic Design and Dip of Visual Arts ..

New assignment will follow on My Chisholm soon!

A tip for next block if you are struggling with the completion of work... don't open FACEBOOK!

:)

"The Sheltering Sky "director Bernardo Bertolucci

The following quote was read in class on Tuesday.

The author is Paul Bowles.

"Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don't know when it will arrive seems to take away from the finiteness of life. It's that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don't know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet is all seems limitless."

Try to see this movie...

D

See the light!

Well done to those who are resolving the painting - video assignment. I think they will look great in the exhibition. It has been an interesting assignment with lots to learn. Some of the results in printmaking, drawing and photography are also promising.

Those of you who have not resolved it needs to be by next Friday as the work will be assessed and graded (see handout). I will not be giving extensions (without doctor's cert).

We will be moving into the last assignment starting on the 31st August. There are 3 weeks left of this term and 5 weeks left in term 4. Not much time!

If you are thinking about study for next year, now is the time to start resolving your portfolio. I'm happy to work with you to prepare folios.

ALL work from this block needs to be presented on Friday.. see the posting below for details.

Night Photography - Some tips & BLOGS!!

The night photography excursion was great fun and I think you got some interesting and successful results. Nice image on Pradnya's blog. I hope you all will post something.

Robert, Lidia, John, Luke, Kristy, Lionel , Sean I haven't seen anything on your blogs for ages??? This is a good opportunity..remember this blogging is part of your assessment.


Best and consistant blogs are Sandra, Pete, James and Pradnya.
Okay but a few more would be good from Alycia, Ben, Kacie and Narmin


We will be doing more of night photography in Sydney so if you can bring a small
LIGHTWEIGHT tripod or even one of those tiny cheap ones at the
reject shop that will help.

For those who didn't get there last night here are some tips:

Use Manual mode
Use Raw
ISO 100 - 400
Must use stable tripod
Take a flash light
Set focus to manual - you may have trouble with focus..use a light source to help focus.
Use the 10sec timer

Set F stop wide F4 etc
Set exosure time 10 secs to 30 secs.
Avoid direct light source especially orange lights.

In winter wear something warm!
Have a spare charged battery, long exposures uses up battery life quickly.

You can adjust image on Photoshop and reveal amazing colours.

Night Photography Excursion

Meet Thursday 27 June, 6 pm at Heritage Hills /St James Church, 51 Langhorne Street.

Bring Tripod and SLR digital camera (no point and shoot).

Next Week timetable change

There will be a figure drawing class next Thursday 27 May.

This class has swopped with Tuesday morning. We will work on the Public Art project this Tuesday 25 in the morning from 10 am.

Stressed?

We are at that time of year with an upcoming critique, a semester fast coming to an end when students start to feel some pressure. I've just read some of your recent blogs and I empathise.

I'm not sure if there is any easy solution, but I do know that worry is a useless emotion and doesn't help you.

Part of the learning process is learning how to create a balance and use time effectively. Often jobs that should take a short time can take you ages, and I guess it is through this experience that you discover this. I find for students, what you set out to achieve, what you think is good and what is good is often two very different things.

The critique is NOT something that should burden you. Yes, you should try your best and try completing and resolving your work to the best of your ability, but at the end of the day, all it is , is a moment of reflection, a time to look at yourself, a time to see how you may do things differently, a time to ask questions and to learn.

Everyone learns differently and at their own pace, and art "clicks" for people at different times. you just need to keep pursuing it and enjoying the 'half adventure' that happens as you push yourselves.

Drawing this week is a good example, a change in medium, a different influence (video) may be all it takes for something new to click and your find new ground..something works.

I thought I'd post the following:

Stress is not what happens to us. It is our response to what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose. Maureen Killoran

The world we have created is a product of our thinking; it cannot be changed without our thinking. Albert Einstein

There is more to life than increasing its speed . Gandhi

Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nathalie Goldberg

There is a healthy state of upliftment and anticipation when you are totally involved with your work and inspired by what you are doing, try to find this state of mind.

Critique - Friday and other news

There may be some confusion about the upcoming Critique. It is Friday , 21 May (not June).

This is an opportunity to resolve any problems before we get to the end of the semester which isn't too far away. We will talk about the work and make suggestions, so try to see the critique as a useful learning tool.

We now seem to be back on track and work is going well. We are a little behind with video work and it is really important you give time at home to resolve your ideas, as otherwise it's hard to move forward with this.

The council's response to the public art projects has been fantastic, and its great to see everyone really getting involved and enthused with this project.

Student work is now on display in the international meeting room. And there are promising signs that you can exhibit large scale photography at the Dandenong Plaza.

We have a night photography next week Thursday 27 May. I will discuss arrangements this Thursday in class.

Payment for Sydney is now urgent.. there is a meeting this Thursday at 11.30 am in J202a to discuss arrangements.

There was an interesting program on TV on the French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand
He is worth having a look at on the web. Has anyone seen his 2009 documentary film 'HOME' ?

TERM 2 We're Back!

Hello Everyone,

Okay, I managed to get through the volcanic dust in Europe and am back at Chisholm. Saw a lot art and hope to show you all this soon.

On Tuesday we had our first figure drawing class. We have 10 weeks to go and lots to do
if I haven't seen you and will be calling you soon to get everyone back on track.

Today, Thursday at 2 pm Jenny is coming in to look at the proposals. We will keep this
informal but PLEASE bring in your ideas in written form as there is not much time..

We have photography today.

Poland

Good to see some of you are still updating the blogs.
I am in a town called Wroclaw in Poland. Yesterday I saw some amazingly
beautiful paintings in Dresden..an inspiration to see as the city was so badly devastitated
65 years ago at the end of WWII. It has slowly "fought' back and is now an impressive city, especially in the evening walking along the Elbe River.

Spent several days in Berlin, saw lots of contemporary art there and the wall murals..will show the pics when I return ! a lot of history there. Now on the way to Krakow.

Next Week - Gallery Excursion

This has been an interesting week seperating the frogs from the tadpoles or the sheep from the goats or the fromage from the frottage.

Some of the results from the portrait painting, cabbage drawing intergrated with the photography, the bottles assignment, and sculpture project are beginning to resolve themselves.
And some of it is really quite impressive for five weeks into the course.

I see a range of emotions, from frustration to convidence and I guess that's part of the nature of creating. It's not easy, it's requires a lot from you and there are no guarantees. When it works there's a high, and some of us are still learning with the thinking processes and how to engage art. The positive is that I see change, growth.

I'm impressed with those who have taken on the brick challenge further.
I'm quietly confident that the public art project, despite being daunting , will yield a positive response.

Thank you to those who are making the blogs interesting. Some wonderful videos from Leah and Sab, and supportive comments and feedback from others, that is its purpose to act as a way to support communication and learning. Use the blog while there is the five week break. I hear some of you have swopped phone numbers.. that's great..shows there's cohesion in the group.
We meet back on Tuesday, 27 April.

There are a few students having some serious emotional/ medical challenges right now... just to let you know I support you where I can. Keep in contact and make use of the student support structures set in place at Chisholm.

We end this block on Wednesday.. a day of absorbing art.. enjoy.

D

There are several websites with a similar BRICK project

I guess if you are finding this hard, it serves to remind us that we only use a tiny portion of our brains and that creativity is something we can develop through play and free association.

The following site has some good ideas for uses of a brick. Try to spend time 'playing' and enjoying this activity rather than seeing it as a burden. Come up with your own ideas.

Good ideas , creativity and imagination are not just the realm of the artist, it's a valuable asset with which to deal with life.

Week 5

Flower art using plastic bottles

Photography: complexity

Winter Art Prjection, Annie Watkins 2009

Next week we are entering week 5, this will be the last full week, as the following week we will meet on Tuesday and Wednesday 17th March will be our excursion to the city.

We will then meet again on Tuesday 27 April come prepared for figure drawing. Our model is Marie.

There are still a few of you that are not doing the blogs. I need to remind you this is ongoing through the semester and the Creative thinking module is largely graded based on this imput. You are doing yourself a disservice not to post. It's not hard.

A reminder about the 50 original ideas for a brick due on blog by Tuesday.

I'm also noticing a few of you missing from David's OHS class and Photography. Please provide a medical certificate or speak to me if you have a reason for not coming. Just not turning up is not acceptable.

There were some good efforts with photography. In some cases you can go back and reshoot changing the context and approach. This assignment is more creative than technical, so enjoy the freedom and try to push boundaries and aesthetics.

Most of you have made a good start on the painting. The problem will come with the painting. You can start with glazing and then think of working with masking tape, then finally some of the other techniques Impasto and scumbling. Try to get a balance between being tentative and over painting the image...quite hard I know...but this is an exercise in learning techniques.

With the Public Art (Car park) brief try to be as clear and concise as possible. See it as a set of directions, step by step. Refer to the format and headings I gave you. you need to have a working document to show me for next Thursday.

There will be a major Critique (Crit Eat) in early May. All you work to date will be reviewed. This will take place on a Friday and will include a potluck (lunch) before the crit.

Plans for Sydney are progressing well. Flights and Accommodation are booked. There are now 20 people definitely going with the possibility of another two.

Keep an eye on the Digital Eyes Studio (Walker Street) blog. I think their opening will be on the 26 March.
