Excursion to the Dunedin School of Arts : Vicarious
Various
This picture attracts me so much. It draws inspiration from the efforts of Alfred Stieglitz who declared his 1920's cloud photographs to be the equivalents of music, emotion and his philosophy of his life. When I watched this picture at first, I don't understand the artist as well but I like the colour of sky. It feels a bad cloudy but it has some light on the sky. It makes me feel better. And then, I read the explanation. I thought I can comprehend the real meaning. This picture is amazing for me.
Art Exhibition--The Cream
Art Exhibition--The Cream
Unfortunately, I didn't find something interested in the art museum last week. Thus I decided to express to another artwork I saw it before on the website which named THE CREAM.Beneath a boiling sky, aflame with yellow, orange and red, an person wears a blue coat, which he holds up two hands on either side of his hairless head. His eyes wide with shock, he unleashes a bloodcurdling shriek. The felling of mine about this picture is that there is no God now, no tradition, no habits or customs – just poor man in a moment of crisis, facing a world he doesn’t understand and can only has feeling of panic.

Art exhibition-maori
This photo is talking about maori's culture.Specifically, it is about dancing by a lady who is wearing the traditional maori's clothing.Obviously, you can see the clothing is very extrordinary. And, if you have seen the movie of dancing, you would find the action was powerful. I didn't know anything about maori.But when I see the photo, it really attact me, and stumilate my interest in it. On the other hand, I think the doll which is close to the photo was really scared me. LOL. Never mind. I like it.

Art Exhibition
This title is Palmyrene. I thought it was so beautiful when I saw this art at first. If I could talk with the artist, I would like to ask why two birds face opposit side. Then, if I saw this art carefully, I could see like an explosion smoke. I guessed this art symbolized a war. The more I saw, the more I was interested in this art.

NB: As discussed on Wednesday 28th Nov:
Jo Bone, our very own Academic Resource Officer in the Independent Learning Centre, is a talented lady. Not only is she in charge of and very knowledgeable about the resources we have on offer in the ILC, she is an amazing childrens book illustrator. Her wonderful watercolour images highlight New Zealand wildlife and portray the Kiwi way of life beautifully. Jo has mentioned that her artwork will be available for public viewing online after this week, so watch this space!
SITE Exhibition 2018: The artist has used natural materials, cardboard, paper and stones, to great effect. She has used square, rectangular, cylindrical and triangular shapes in clean-cut lines. The caricatures of herself on display are a revealing insight into the artist and how she views herself: not only is she selling rocks, she is also creating an advertisement of/for herself as a way of connecting with her audience with the contrast between black print and the pale brown colour of cardboard, and the use of Chinese on the left side with English on the right, combining to showcase the two sides of her own identity...something that I can personally relate to with my own family. Sustainability and environmental awareness are two issues highlighted in this unique artwork.

No Sweet without Sweat
No Sweet without Sweat
Hazard had
been interested in football as he was a child, which was derived from a UEFA champion’s
league final between Manchester United and Bayern Munich in 1999. He was
attracted by the excellent skills of the players and the tense game. And then,
he decided to become a professional football player.
Unfortunately,
compared with his peers, Hazard was not strong or tall enough. Most of his
classmates scorned him on his folly and thought he would not be successful about
his ambitions. But he did not think so. He still insisted on his dream when
others mocked him, and believed it.
Once, when
he was knocked down by the players no one even helped him up, because everyone
looked down upon this small boy from Belgium.
However, failures did not make him give up his dream but strengthened
his fortitude. He knew that he must to practice harder than others to achieve
his goal. So, he decided to go his own way to enhance football skills when he
finished classes every day no matter the weather was. His clothes were always wet
because he practiced tirelessly. Even in the evening, he would try to play
football in his family yard.
Many a
little makes a mickle. One year later,
Hazard signed up to the university campus league and he amazed all of the people
who sited around the ground with a single brilliant feat, when a goal on a
penalty kicked by him that is second goal of the match which was the turning
point on a tense night for the hosts. No one knew what he had experienced when
he surprised audiences. On the end of
the season, he had attracted much attention from many professional football clubs.
He proved himself by his sweat and also proved “No sweet without sweat.”
