ps I've got the rhino picture but it's not in the powerpoint yet. Can someone tell me where it started. Was it with Kat and it went to Lucie and then Hannah? Thanks

Hey guys.. time is ticking, remember collaborations is just as important as all the other required subjects, concept, history etc. This blog is great to keep track of our work *tumbleweed rolls past :P* but we reeeally need to meet up. We haven't met up nearly as enough as we should but those times that we have I believe we've definitely made progress. I'll send this post through facebook too for those who only have net access on their phones.

Just been doing some googling..some of these images might give us some ideas..

^ Exquisite corpse stuff. We could even do a huge piece like this, whether it be 2D or a collage of different materials. I personally love this surreal stuff..

^ Just some other interesting stuff/ideas..

As I've said before, I can make myself free pretty much anytime to get together cos I believe this is really needed!

Jesse -> Tom -> Camille

Messed with the colour a bit then cut the figure out and stuck it on one of my drawings then mushed it up in the photocopier. Scanner unfortunately dilutes the vivid colour, this is the best I could get it.

Meet up

Hey guys, when are you free to meet up?
How about tomorrow, Friday or on the weekend?

Here's my first remix. Camille, when you get a chance, let me know what format you want it in. I can send it to you in whatever colours or even as an outline like in a colouring book. Let me know.

Have sent it on to Cat

Here's my first image:

Can't wait to see what Camille does with it...

Process::::

OK. Let's get this ball rolling. Here's a bit of a summary of our way forward as we've already discussed in our meetings:

Step 1:

Choose an image. Keep in mind the theme for this rotation "Imperfection is beauty". Don't get too hung up on it. It's more a theme for the process not just an initial idea. The important thing is to pick something to pass on to the next person to work with.

Step 2:

Using the diagram below, contact your next person and organise a format (digital image, photocopy, painting, drawing etc) and a way to exchange it (meet up and pass it on, email it etc).  This should be done ASAP. I reckon no later than Wednesday (30th March) otherwise you'll be restricting the time that the other person has to work on your piece.

Step 3:

Alter/reinterpret/deconstruct/add to/remake/burn/erase the original piece of art in whichever way you see fit. Journal you're thinking and process- post it on this blog if you like. Whatever works for you.

Step 4:

Meet up next Monday (4th April) and bring along your first altered piece ready to pass on to the next person.

I think it's worth saying that it's really important that we all check this blog every couple of days. It should be set up to email you when a new comment or post is added. Anyways, it's gonna be a pretty key form of communication between us all as well as a place to externalise our process for assessment purposes.

Here's everyone's email addresses if that's of use:

Luci: luciebauer@yahoo.com.au

Jesse: jessem013@hotmail.com

Cat: catherine.dale@hotmail.com

Hannah: h.krueger@live.com.au

If you're no sure about anything, please ask someone or post something.

Imperfection is beauty.

Found some quotes!

Went along with the fifteen minutes of fame thing we discussed and looked up some quotes...

In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes. - Andy Warhol

Talent is God-given. Be Humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful. - John Wooden


The fact that my 15 minutes of fame has extended a little longer than 15 minutes is somewhat surprising to me and completely baffling to my wife. - Barack Obama

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other. - Erma Bombeck

Fame is the thirst of youth. - Lord Byron

Some people obtain fame, others deserve it. - Doris Lessing

The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal. - Sallust

I could go on, but I'll leave it at that for now.
- Lucie

Camille's 5 images

These are some of my drawings and paintings. I'm pretty simple, these are acrylic paint, black texta pen and pencils. Excuse shitty quality, scanner takes a lot of the bright colour away. Man I hope I did this right, I need someone to sit down with me and show me how to use this thing properly! /how to use a computer in general.
