These days all sorts of things are happening within and around family, gay father or son. lesbian mother or daughter, divorce, deaths, test tube babies, rape, violence, loneliness, marriage etc.
Creating your scene for the family portrait can question the real family and what they are truly like. similar to my family, if we were to take a family image it would contain my mother, sister, mothers partner and myself. Little would people no that the man in the image is not my real father and that i also have a younger brother who is currently stuck with my real father.
Images can portray many different aspects, it depends on how you view it.

assignment 1 Q3
Bill Jay’s chapter titled “Past Perfect” has a very strong case and argument towards the relevance of the history of photography. Before reading Bill’s chapter I personally wasn’t to interested or excited to learn about the history of photography and had always wondered is it really relevant to be learning the history?. Today I now understand why it is relevant and why we do learn about the history of photography. I agree with bill when he say’s “Think of a boat on an uncharted sea out of sight of land. One way to be sure you are not sailing in circles is to drop buoys over the edge. By looking back at these ‘pasts’ you can plot a more forward-looking future.”
Like Bill states saying history is irrelevant is like saying your birth date, time etc is irrelevant. If we had not learnt about the history of photography, then our knowledge of photography and cameras may not be as strong as it is today. I 100 percent agree with Bill’s arguments and believe that the history of not only photography but all history of this world is extremely important to each and every one of us.

Assignment 1
I Have selected an image/photograph of my family at my year 6 confirmation.
(image will be scanned and up soon)
This image has me (in the white dress) my little brother and sister and my parents. This image means everything to me. It is the last time that my family was all together as one before the final separation of my parents and before i grew up and moved to Canberra.
This photograph indicates the relationships within and among my family. The day this image was taken was the happiest day for me as a child, even thou i knew my parents were having trouble and i was old enough to understand I was happy that they could become one again for me and my special day. This image was given to me by my mother when i moved out of home to Canberra, it has for ever been in my picture frame that my father gave me one Christmas. The image itself is extremely important because it captured the day/moment that i will remember for a life time to come. To have images of such events and people that occurred in your life is something that is cherished by millions across the world.
words cant describe that day, yet that image defiantly does.

a photo that inspires me
PHOTO
A floral tribute left for a quake victim near Christchurch last week. New Zealanders will observe two minutes' silence to remember the people killed when the 6.3 magnitude quake struck.
A floral tribute left for a quake victim near Christchurch last week. New Zealanders will observe two minutes' silence to remember the people killed when the 6.3 magnitude quake struck.
On Tuesday, New Zealand came to a standstill at precisely the moment one week ago when a big earthquake brought death and destruction to Christchurch.
The devastation of lost ones and the cold feeling of knowing a friend is still out there is something that i wish to never have to fear or come across. Watching the news and reading about the NZ earthquake sent shivers down my spine. The image above tells me a few things, 1. that the world can do anything, specially when we least expect it and 2. that your world could end within seconds, so take that and go for what you want, want you believe in and what you dream of. For me it is the dream to become a photographer and live the life of excitement, laughter, fear and overwhelming experiences that photography can bring. This image as sasd as it is gives me the strength to go out there and live the experiences whilst i can.

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
