Reflection of EAP course

My favourite art work

        Art work title:           Warlugulong 1976 (Synthetic polymer paint on canvas)
        Artists:                        Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri & Tim Leura Tjapaltjarri

This painting is a contemporary art which tells different stories. Warlugulong is the site where the great fire began. Lungkata, the blue-tongue lizard man, had rested at this site. His two sons following behind, speared a kangaroo, cooked it and greedily at it all. The father, wondering why his sons were so long, suddenly sensed that had happened. Determined to punish them, blew on a fire-stick until it glowed, then touched it to a bush. The bush exploded into flame(as the painting illustrates), then burnt everything in its path. Tongues of flame flicked out, as do all lizards and snakes tongues to the present day and soon the two brothers were fighting the flames. 
I like this painting as its a modern Aboriginal contemprary art which is paint on canvas with more then 4 basic colours, which Aboriginal artist used before. Every part of this painting tell us different story about the culture and history of Aboriginal people who lives in Anmatyeer, central desert region.

We are planing to go to the Art Gallery of NSW on Thursday 20th of October. Everyone will go by train and get together in St James train station where we'll wait for Elizabeth at 9:30. Then from there we'll go to the art gallery which will open at 10 o'clock. In art gallery we'll look at the Contemporary and Traditional art of Aboriginal. The paintings are cross hatching, dot paintings,painting on Bark, ceremonial poles and many more.Then we are going to have a question sheet to fill, which is due on the same day. We are going to take notes of our tour to write a summary. We are going see the paintings of Aboriginal in which they paint their history and culture. We are going to hear about each paintings that how they paint them with Ochra, which is a natural colour made of rocks.

In general we will see the paintings in which the artist tells the history and shows the culture of Aboriginals which they heard from their ancestors. The paintings will represents their way of life and according to them it's their identity.
