Week 5: Sydney

Clothes...identity maps...where we are from.

Suitcase ...maps....we are all travellers... identity

Identity related to shoes/maps/dresses

Artist: Tricia Mckellar

Map Assignment: This image uses several layers and textures in its design.

Monday is a public holiday. I've asked you to develop drawing and painting qualities to bring to class for next Monday to work with the Map assignment. This is essentially a drawing project that uses photoshop. Maps are drawings. so if you are going on a tangent and using photos of the globe/ earth..take a relook at the project. You will also be using many layers at least 20... so it will be about how you embed images. Also its about identity so don't get gimmicky with images..have some content.

For next Monday you NEED to have your proposal ready as a word document. Photos of the car park will be provided on Thursday.

A selection of 8 students for the De Gruchy projections will be made this Thursday.

Partial payment for SYDNEY is now URGENT... please show your receipt on Thursday.

Week 4 Excursion

MONDAY'S EXCURSION

It's great to see Tom's video of the visit to NGV, ACMI, Platform, Hosier lane and RMIT gallery.
You all should have plenty of imagery to work with for the second Hockney piece. Lunch was good too!

THURSDAY

Getting familiar with video cameras, capturing. Please read notes on Basic video.

Week 3: Hockney, Talking dogs and mixed media

On Monday we introduced the basics of working with the camera including Aperture, shutter speed, f stop, ISO, DOF, RAW, rule of thirds and a slight digression to the golden mean.

With the Hockney assignment we talked about the idea of "Variations of a theme" and continued with the assignment.

Public Art: Discussion using the De Bono's 6 hat theory, some interesting questions such as "If dogs could talk what would change?" If you find yourself looking at problen solving with one approach..this may help you think is a more flexible way.

There is some urgency in developing the proposal for the Nocturnal Project.. Please type up your proposal in Word and email to me asap. The Public Art assignment gives a break down of the headings for the proposal.

Basic demonstration of using drawing materials ..you are asked to develop the drawings as set in the assignment.

PLEASE NOTE:

NEXT MONDAY: we meet at National gallery of Victoria at 10 am THIS is an ALL DAY EXCURSION PLEASE BRING A CAMERA to complete the second Hockney assignment.

The following Monday (14th March) is a PUBLIC HOLIDAY. NO class.

Amazing Fire Animation!

Week Two: Introduction of Public Art Project.

video installation

It's good to see some of you have started putting together ideas for the 'Fire' Video. Learning to "push" ideas/ concepts takes time so try to keep at it. The ability to problem solve and think with creative solutions impacts on how you look at and live life.

There was a good start with the David Hockney assignment. We will work on this next week.

Make sure you have all your ideas and resources (images) plus art materials for next week. you will need them to develop the MAP assignment.

Please make sure you've read the Student handbook info on Moodle. Please also read the studio etiquette info.
