RESEARCH ON ARTISTS
TRACEY MOFFATT
Tracey Moffatts’ image is from a still film called “Night Cries, A Rural Tragedy,” which is made with a technique that consists of 13 large photo silk screens, overlaid with one and other to create different colours and textures. The silk screens are brought in and out of the movie, with people and real life objects placed thoughtfully in the different pictures. The use of paintings and 3D objects works well together, adding a sense of vibrancy to the movie. The photograph was shot on a New York sound-stage with an actor, props, lighting, and backdrops.
FIONA HALL
Fiona Halls’ artwork “Tender,” is a piece consisting of many one dollar American bills, shredded up finely to create different shaped “bird nests,” which all declares the words “This note is legal tender.” The symbolism of the bird nest made out of dollar bills is that American money is the most desired currency for third world countries, and for those desperate enough, scavenge around for these green bills to provide their shelter. This artwork also looks into modernisation, capitalism, and deforestation, as so much wildlife is losing their homes in this day and age.

Analysis of student work
Sharon-Lam (part of Vinh Nguyen's group), has some very interesting sections. The section that this student has used, positively describes the chosen noun from artist Gascoignes' work of "woodblocks," with many interlocking rectangles and squares. One way however that the Sketchup model can be improved is the use of other tools than "push-pull." It seems as this student has created the front face and pushed pulled it out to the same length. It may be good to try other tools such as "follow me," "arc" etc to "fool" the viewer into what the 3D image looks like. It may also be beneficial to play with the different block sizes to create this "woodblocks" effect, which would allow the viewer to further feel the space and hence possibly achieving a higher grade. Overall, a neat and effective layout.

C: AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
An interesting fact about this picture is my mate actually hit this ball for a 4. And I got it on camera.
Beautiful isn’t it?
B: AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE
http://www.dynamicarchitecture.net/21-06-08/new-web_23-06-08/dubai.html
Ever since I heard about this stunning piece of architecture I have been interested in the design, and the physics on how it works. The building is a rotating “Dynamic Tower” in Dubai, designed by David Fisher, and uses environmentally friendly techniques to power the building. This skyscraper is the first building to power itself on 100% green energy consisting of horizontal wind turbines and solar panels. AND it rotates.
Incredible.

A- MY BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL
My best piece of creative work at high school was a detailed felt tip pen drawing, where my class was asked to trace our hands, and fill the inside with a pattern/image of our choice. Although I did not have a specific theme, my illustration was extremely detailed, consisting of various random objects and hidden names, consequently achieving an extremely high result for my work. However I am unable to post a picture as the artwork lies with my family in Canberra and I do not have an electronic copy. One of the most interesting features of my drawing was the maze-like quality it possessed, as you could start at one finger and trace around to another, or get stuck in a jumble of pure chaos, surrounded by completely arbitrary objects.
