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.

Excursion next week to Art Gallery of NSW

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.

Three ways Twitter used in academic studies and research

Twitter is a free social networking service that allows everyone to write 140 characters that called tweet and send personal messages to someone whom we already followed. Twitter can be used for academic studies and researchers, which  are as under

1. By creating groups in an organisation or class between students which is also known as collective account
2. By sending personal messages to the specific person
3. By using hashtag to make things more visible

Tweet about each publication and new projects can be done in a group rather than posting 

Reflection on delicious bookmarking

Delicious bookmarking is a social web service which we use to store, share and discovering web bookmarks. It's free and anyone can see and use it through their account. In delicious we add links with their URL and write our comments about that link also. For this purpose we need to do research that what link or topic we are about to add in our account, then we've to copy the URL address from that website and past it where it says the URL address and the title of the link. We can write our comments also about the link which we are about to add to our account, in general we've to summarise the article which we are about to add.

In delicious bookmark we can add many links as we want. People uses delicious mostly for academic purposes. All bookmarks posted to delicious are publicly viewable by default, although users can mark specific bookmarks as private and important bookmarks are private by default.

Reflection on email Protocol

                                                            Email Protocol

As an academic student or to be professional we need to observe basic rules of electronic email that how should we protect our privacy and how to send a proper email to our colleagues and our teachers, even it’s for more than 1 person. If it is for more than 1 person we should use blind copies. With blind copies no one can see someone else email addresses in case of a group work or if our teachers want to send any email to all students. It’s also count as privacy.

 The subject line of our email should be clear and obvious in order to show that, what the content of our email is. Our content or our task should have all the relevant information and requirements such as header and footer, which shows our name, date and the task title for example “Task 2 Internet Glossary”.

 The last thing, if we want to protect our email by any kind of problems or hackers we have 2 step verification process in which we receive a text with a verification code on our number without which we can’t open our account, instead of changing our password time in again.
