7. The death of constable Scanlon. This painting was created in 1946 and is done in an enamel paint on composition board. The story behind the painting is a true story about Ned Kelly and how Ned killed constable. He was in the net of firing again when Ned Kelly fired and Scanlon fell from his horse and died almost immediately. I really like this picture. I like the way it use different surreal and real art.

We’ve all heard the Australian stereotypes. But where do the stereotypes come from?

To what extent has my understanding of ‘being Australian’ been influenced by the texts (and films) you’ve studied? (Deadly Unna?, Summer Heights High). My understanding of ‘being Australian’ has changed through the study of the book ‘Deadly Unna? (Phillip Gwynne 1988) and the comedic documentary Summer Heights High (Chris Lilley 2007).

Introduction Although Australian literature was established from its British origins, it was the early works of Australian bush writers and poets that transformed Australian literature into a distinctive style of its own. Over time, iconic Australian writers and poets used this unique style of literature to form the early foundations of national Australian identity. Despite the fact that Australia was originally seen as an urbanised country, Australian literary nationalism upheld an image of Australia being a rural bush environment with your average hard working bushman who embodied the values of egalitarianism and the spirit of mateship. Section One For early Australian writers and poets, the predominant way to have their work publically

Celebrating Australia day is like holding a party without inviting the hosts. While many Australians celebrate this holiday, they have little knowledge behind the events that occurred and why it is celebrated. If I’m honest, I haven’t been brought up, like many of my generation, to understand and acknowledge the events which occurred on this day. Instead for as long as I can remember I have seen the day as a public holiday where mum drags us to a boring family gathering, to play backyard cricket and observe the adults consume excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages. According to a poll conducted by Review Partners, much of the Australian population are unable to accurately name the event
Ned Kelly Hanged Edward “Ned” Kelly was a bushranger from Victoria, Australia. He was born in 1855 and hung in 1880 at Old Melbourne Gaol and was buried in a mass grave. Ned Kelly was arrested for alleged assault on a Chinese pig farmer and was held for ten days on remand but the charge was dismissed in 1869. A year later, he was arrested and held in custody for seven weeks as a suspected accomplice of the bushranger Harry Power, the charge ended up being dismissed again. Kelly was convicted of summary offences and ended up being imprisoned for six months, later in 1870.
The issue of not changing Australia day can be very sensitive to indigenous people The date suggestion of moving Australia day to another date is 1st of January, 25th of April (Anzac day) or the 1st of September (wattle day). The solution that Smith proposed was January 26th is a date that’s orientated towards when we gained our independence from British rule or perhaps a date bases on when Mathew Flinders when he first used the word ‘Australia’. The intended audience of this article is everyday Australian multi-cultural Australians. Smith focuses most of his attention trying to persuade people to change 26th of January (Australia day) to change it to First Fleet Day instead.

Jennifer Mercado Art B37 Surrealism started in the 20th century and sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind.

The spanish artist Pablo Picasso is one of the world 's most famous and well known artist of all times. From a very young age, Picasso knew his passion was to draw. He was not a good student in school, so at age thirteen he decided to drop out of school to spend more time drawing during the day, so he can doodle and work on his drawing skills. Pablo Picasso worked on different types of art forms such as painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and ceramic art. His top five famous works are The Weeping Woman, Guernica, Asleep, Nude Green Leaves and Bust, and finally Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.
In this essay I will be talking about surrealism, its meaning, where it started, the main surrealism artists, the interactions with history and the 2 main styles of surrealism. Surrealism was an art movement which involved writers and artists, for example Salvador Dalí and René Magritte, these artists tried to make art with unconscious imaginations. Surrealism was begun in Paris in 1924 by a French poet called André Breton with the announcement of his Manifesto of Surrealism.

My final project consists of two self-portraits, each which portrays the influence of the historical art movements called Impressionism and Analytic Cubism. Among the numerous art mediums, I chose acrylic paint, and my inspiration for painting in an Impressionist style comes from Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. For my analytical cubism painting my inspiration came from both Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque with their emphasis on geometrical shapes. According to Gardner, Impressionism was an art movement born in late-19th-century in Paris (Gardner 687).
