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!
