I found this video particularly interesting as it shows how people can use sketchup to design things digitally before a single piece of timber is cut.

Homework

Fiona Hall's Paradisus Terestris is made from aluminum and steel. It depicts the intersection of plant and human culture. Within each half-opened can sits a naked human body part, while plant life sprouts above. Beneath these top two layers, Hall adds language. The three systems make us consider what we share with plants. In 1989, she developed the series using photographic resources at the Australia Council's studio in New York's SoHo district.

TraceyMoffat creates a photographic narrative which use theatrical props in a comic (and sometimes grotesque) vein, yielding evocative dramas in the desert, the suburbs and historical fantasy. In the case of Moffat's Something More, it seeks to depart from an outback shack inhabited by rough types, only to enter into a sadistic lesbian relationship, ending in death. This was made from Cibachrome, extedning 98 × 127cm.

Rosalie Gascoigne's Printed Circuit is made from retro reflective roadsign on wood, meauring at 96 × 95cm. Her work has an ability to draw creative inspiration from the discarded; her intrinsic response to her chosen materials, and her unique ability to evocatively convey the essence of nature and the transitory and captivating effects of light, air and space.

YOUR BEST PIECE OF CREATIVE WORK AT HIGH SCHOOL

This is the bar I designed and built for my Design and Technology Major Project for the Higher School Certificate. There were a number of design changes made throughout the process of design and construction but in the end, the project resulted in reverence and contentment from fellow peers (and myself).

AN IMAGE OF A GREAT PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE


The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (1959) was designed by Frank Llyod Wright and is located in New York City. It houses a permanent collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, early Modern, and contemporary art, and also features special exhibitions throughout the year.

AN ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

This moment in time was captured during the final moments of the setting of the sun, at the outlook of Milson’s Point (just under the Sydney Harbour Bridge). As it happens, a number of ships were in ideal position when photographing this as they were putting on a rather nice water display.
