One Artwork Reflection

I have seen many beautiful artworks in the museum but one art has got my attention. It was Dark Valley, Van Diemen’s Land 2008, by Julie Gough. It is a necklace made of black coal stones, attached with string and hang on animal’s horn. That artwork has 3 colours; black, white and gold. Julie Gough was one of the artist that thought of art progress so this artwork is contemporary, when i was looking at it I just saw the shape of Tasmania Island. Also the necklace reflects the sadness of the Tasmanian Aboriginal life in 1930 as they suffered lots and many of them had been killed. The necklace is heavy, in my opinion it is symbolise as heavy burden lift on shoulder and should be from generation to others so they new Aboriginal know what happened to their ancestors. 

Art Gallery Excursion-summary

Art Gallery of NSW established in 1871, it is located on Art Gallery Rd, The Domain, Sydney. The Art Gallery museum has Australian art (traditional- contemporary) which are beautiful also it has a big collection from around the world. The Gallery is opened to anyone has interest with Arts and history culture.

Tutini ( Pukumani Grave posts) is one of the traditional art that I’ve seen in the Art Gallery. It designed by groups of artists and they were commissioned by the government. Pukumani used in Tiwi culture, for them it is an important ceremony to honoured   their death. In addition, Pukumani is the second to last ceremony and it is carved and painted grave posts and they put it around the grave with song and dance as final good bye.

Another traditional art was “Bush Tucker Dreaming” made by Timmy Payungka Tjapangati in 1971.  It is beautiful and colourful art that used water-colour on paper. That art is from Aboriginal dreaming and I guess it is a place such as land that has bush or maybe their ancestor village. If we looked at this artwork we can imagine someone was on the airplane painting that beautiful paint.

Dark Valley, Van Diemen’s Land 2008.  I will not forget that art. It made by Julie Gough. That artwork is a necklace that has lots of meaning. It made of black coal stones, attached with string and hang on animal’s horn. This style of art is contemporary and progress. It has the shape of Tasmania on the map and explains about the dark situation that Aboriginal people were through in the 1930s. This art reflects the sadness and symbolise for death, as there was myth about all Aboriginal people died in Tasmania and only survived which was incorrect.

computing reflection

Hi classmates,

As we know every Friday we have a Computing class. I enjoy attending class as i learn new things. For example, i've learnt how to add another account into my Gmail which is very useful if you have more than one account, also the differences between Cc & Bcc when I’m sending an Email and how to setup phone code to use it as Gmail password. We discussed some general information about social sites and how to protect ourselves against SPAM or Hackers and now I’m working on my Blog so far I’ve uploaded photo, made new post, added blog list and changed the layout of my blog. I feel happy when i see my blog is getting better week after week as i’m learning new skills to improve it.  
Computer skills never stop by learning basic things. Everyday i learn something new so i'm looking forward for the next class.
