Edith Amituanai

Edith photos could be represented in a south auckland community because her photos that she takes, are of her island life style witch i think in most homes in the south auckland districts are kinda similar. Edith had taken a photo of her living room and she described how her family's living room look like. she also had taken photos of other family's living room witch also described how they live. i think to me her photos that she takes describe how some family's live different to others like in a cultural way or in a normal life style. i think her photos would good to represent the south auckland community because of the island cultural that most of the people are in.

ross brown

(Photography is, first of all, a way of seeing. It is not seeing itself. by Susan Sontag.) (Ross believes that advertising photography can be an art form in its own rights as an evident in his work. by Ross Brown) thats kinda the same as what ross dose with his work because he see's his work in a way for example he use's people and animals together in his photos. i like the way he combined animals with people because it shows how creative his with photos are. i like how he dose this photos that has a arm coming out of a new's paper with a train going past i think it is interesting how he made the photo like that, some times it makes me wonder how he makes photos like that because it changes reality in this way.

this photo that also makes me wonder how he dose the photos using the people and animals witch i think is cool, for example he has a photo of the all blacks i think having a game with lions witch i find interesting to me, also when he uses dancers in a photos its interesting to see a dancer hanging on a Carin. in advertising you don't often see adds in art gallery but you see them on billboard or t,v on posters and in the news paper but with art you don't really see them on billboard and on t,v. Ross is saying his advertising could be art if people stop and take a look at what the message he is tying to send like the all black taking on the lions, that might mean the all blacks are taking on a team from south africa because lions are from africa or it might mean that the all blacks are a strong team so they go and take on the lions.

the picnic

this image that i like shows how they all seem relaxed and happy.  i think the main focus in this photo graph is the farther and his kids. i see a girl with her back faced towards the camera as the for ground. mid ground that i see is the farther and the kids. in the background  their are more kids and adults out in the background also their is a person looking at the person taking the photo. i like how the little boy is relaxing right next to his dad it kinda makes me think that the dad and the little boy are rely connected to each other and so are the other kids.

Albrecht Durer

Albrecht painted himself using the traditional conventions like oil paint. Durer also used wood as paper or a canvas to paint on. painting a portrait of your self would be kinda hard because you have to paint your self without making a movement. i think when you do a self portrait painting its about memory as well because when you paint your self your moving as well. Albrecht Durer self portrait painting is one of the first ever self portrait paintings. Albrecht used the traditional conventions to paint him self witch made people think that albrecht was portraying Christ, because people used to paint traditional paintings like Christ and that .

sorting the art history

today we were looking the different types of artist work.  we were talking about the time line that the art work was painted in, for example the( Mona Lisa painting) painted by Leonardo da Vinci that painting was panted in (1505-1514 AD) and a sculpture called (Venus of Willendorf) was Done in (25000 BCE). today i had to get put into groups of pears and we had to work out the image,facts context and meanings. all the facts images context and meanings were all mixed up so we had to use the image and find the facts,meanings and contexts to the image. i found it a bit hard to do, then we had to put all the artist work in order by the painting year.

spoken poetry.

i thought the poetry was kinda boring to me because they were mostly talking about politics that I'm not interested in, but i would say, some of the spoken poetry was funny at the time then that's when i got bord. looking at the spoken poetry i think that poetry not only about rimes and singing its also about the message that they send out to people, see i always thought that it was about the poems that rimed until thay said that its not all rimes and that.

using grids

drawing the image on to a grid was kind of hard because their is to much detail to try copy from.
