Born 1939 in the Blue Mountains New South Wales, Vernon Treweeke was known as the father of Australian psychedelic art, and a pioneer in Australian human rights, activism and DIY culture (Haarp Media 2015). At age 11 Vernon’s father died in a car accident, which influenced him to start hanging out with the wrong people, which ended with him attending a boarding school in Bathurst alongside another famous Australian artist, Brett Whiteley (Wright 2010). After high school, Treweeke attended East Sydney Tech to study fine arts. Then moved to London as there wasn’t much happening in the Australian art scene. His work that I have chosen to write about is tilted Ultrascope 6. Originally created in 1968, but destroyed. He began remaking the piece …show more content…
Who is your selected artist and highlight their educational background. Di$count Univer$e is a fashion label founded in 2009 by Cami James and Nadia Napreychikov. The two met while studying design at RMIT University in Melbourne (Cargo Collective 2013). 2. Briefly describe your selected artists' artwork. What is it made of?

In today's fashion, the brand of the clothing you wear says more about you than the actual clothing itself. For example, at celebrity red carpet events the most common question every celebrity is asked: “who are you wearing?” Gucci, Loui Vuitton, Versace, Givenchy, why does that matter? Of course, you should credit the artist behind the work, but you're paying for the name on the tag instead of the actual garment. Because people care more about the brand than the clothing itself. However, in saying that, this work that is protesting against the fashion industry, is, in fact, a part of the fashion

People can have many different opinions depending on a topic, but what is truly difficult is getting a complete level of understanding from every opinion, or understanding the point of view of each opinion. Even accepting the points of view can be difficult for some people, who believe that their opinions are right. Luckily, people can learn about the other person’s frame of reference, and at the very least understand the topic or the person a little better. This particular topic is art, which is known for its multiple possible perceptions or its many different messages that it can send a person or group of people. In this way, people can learn more about the thought processes and feelings of others. Unfortunately, with differing opinions,
Pollock (1980) begins her article by drawing in her audience in; asking how is it possible that art history does not incorporate any other field beyond the artist in order to explain the meaning behind their work. She then explains that her article is mainly about how she rejects how art historians are depicting artworks and restricting themselves in explaining the work solely based on the biography of the artist who created it. (Pollock, 1980, pg.58)
In this essay I will be discussing what, in my own opinion, makes good art. To justify what I consider to be a good standard of art, I will be analyzing the work of French symbolist Eugene Carriere and contrasting this with artwork I consider to not be 'good art'.
About four miles from the sea, there was once a rich kingdom bordered with a giant stone wall. It is the ancient kingdom of Troy. The wall around Troy was designed to protect the city. It was made out of stone, high and tall. Climbing the wall was too slippery and going over the wall was impossible because of the Trojan bowmen that stood on the top of the wall. If they saw an intruder, they just pulled back their bowstrings and let the arrow fly towards the target. There is only one entrance into Troy - through the double gate. Many traders, farmers, and shepherds go through to sell goods, sheep fur, and silver and gold. If a armed hostile group is approaching Troy, Troy will just simply close the gate. Behind the bolted gate and the stone

The piece of art that I examined at Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and will be discussing in this paper is a piece created by Stephen Hansen called “But, is it Art?”. This piece of art was produced in 2011 and was created with a mixture of papier-mâché, acrylic on canvas, and mixed media. “But, is it Art?” displays two painters painting large, abstract, red and orange rectangles. One of the painters is sitting on top enjoying his coffee while the other painter is hanging from the scaffolding.
John Rooke is an optimistic person that he always tries to achieve the best. He won a scholarship when he was studying in The University of Texas at Austin. He was studying major in journalism and he became a news reporter in the university that helped to develop his career. I am so impress that John Rooke never mistrust his ability to work on anything. For example, when he studying in the university, he got a part time job to being a radio host. But he had never suspected himself that he didn’t have the ability to complete all his work at the same time. But he has never tried to escape from the trouble. From his speech, I learn try to be an optimistic person and work extra hard when facing the problem. John Rooke also faced a lot of trouble
Bridget Riley is an English painter who was inspired by the American Expressionist painters at the Tate Gallery held in London in 1959. This exhibition helped Riley shape her creative thinking and guided her sense of direction in the op-art realm. In the 1960’s, Riley became famous by doing
Victor Moscoso, also a psychedelic digital poster designer popular through the 60’s, was a Spanish poster artist who was the first to use photo collages in a great number of his posters (Psychedelic Poster Art: Victor Moscoso). Both of these fascinating creators worked with musicians and pro-movement eras to combine powerful visual arts with musical arts to create a “trippy” masterpiece. However, Roger Dean, a British painter, was a fantasy figure known for his characteristic landscapes in his psychedelic art, including: floating islands, jungles, etc., and his extraordinary works appeared on many album covers (25 Amazing Examples of Psychedelic Artwork). Accordingly, Bonnie MacLean was another famous psychedelic artist with her own little
...viduals from buying expensive clothing just for the sake of the designer’s name as not many people would be wearing these clothes. According to Cline (2012: 75) it’s all about the detail of the garment as well as the construction. With exquisite hand-made garments, one could expect it to be over priced, however, not many will be in possession of the garment as only a few are made. This proves that clothing is still a mark of social distinction and has not lost its social meaning as people are willing to spend in order to reaffirm their social status. Bourdieu’s theory is useful for thinking about the fashion industry today as his concepts of field, habitus and the different forms of capital can be used to examine the fashion and fashion trends in contemporary society. His theory can be applied to social institutions as well as behavioural patterns of individuals
Fashion is something that keeps on changing and because of its change, fashion effects our lives nearly in every aspect like language, furniture, homes, cars, clothes, food and many other things. For our second symposium we focus on relationships between fashion and social responsibilities. It is strange but true that social responsibilities intersect with fashion. As there are many phases to fashion from ideation, design, production, distribution, sale, consumption, and ultimately disposal, and in many situations decisions can reflect socially responsible views and sensibilities.
