australian war mem

Aerial photography was used by the military in the 1940's, A series of photographs were taken in a sequence, and shot at a low level. By photographing this way the soldiers were able to view the enemy's grounds in a much easier way and plan a strategy. yet to this day photography around the world is aerially photographed, may it be for an artist for a stronger view of a building or even for websites that use it for maps and other aspects. Ariela photography helps builders and constructors to view grounds and help plan their area to build and locations.
aerial photography to these days helps in more way then one.

assignment 5

Abstract Expressionism is a modern art movement that flowered in America after the Second World War and held sway until the dawn of pop art in the 1960's.
Robert Hughes and clement greenberg express their emotions within their art works and display feelings. Abstract expressionist paintings may look random and desultory, but the paintings contain deeper meaning. Abstract expressionist artists believed that their work explored the human condition. The mere act of painting was seen as a way to release subconscious feelings and desires.

Feminism. What is it? and how do people react towards it?
At the beginning of the 1960's the art world as to the business society was undeniably male dominated. Women were often excluded from entering museum shows and exhibitions. Historically the traditional art that women took part in creating associated with weaving, sewing and quilt making.
Yet to this very day feminism internationally makes art that reflects women's lives and experiences, as well as to change the foundation for the production and reception of contemporary art. Feminist art is created to expose women and their lives as said above but I believe that the art and the way women are shown has changed dramatically. A lot of the art that is created to display feminism art is quiet raunchy and displays some interesting aspects as to what women are meant to be like in their everyday lives.
Why is it that men are not to be painted, photographed or sculptured the way women are these days? And why is it that women are the ones who stand out? Yet don't get me wrong feminism art is creative and has a interesting aspect upon life.
Feminism is viewed differently by everyone and everyone has different ways of expressing feminist art. It's the way you view and the it's what YOU make of it
