In my point of view, Deborah Crowe represented a lot of strong compositions such as the series of architecture works with several outlines, the whole subject matter is strong and stable, she shows a lot of crossing lings, contexture lines, intersection lines. However, the whole body of work was strong and artistic, no matter the internal, or external, she made the several compositions with different line forms, and shows difference line spaces.
To look though her surface work, she emphasized the importance of body work, and she tried to planning, drafting for the construction, and prepared so many atory collages experimentation for page works. Therefore, she had done several researches to combine with her experimentation work to make series of works.
Moreover, she had not only shows the line drawings on the surface work, but also presented the whole structure on fashion design. In 1997, she cooperated with fashion designer Kim Fraser, then to make her work can wear on the human’s body, she also found out how was so important about the light and shadow that can produce the special effect on her works. When I saw the photo of her fashion design, it is a great composition and strong effect that used the warm light to flash on her fashion work.
Furthermore, we have seen her studio works and I like the reflection and flipping composition which has included a lot of lines and structure in it, the subject matter which has complex and interlace format, it looks like repetition art and the body work is very busy.
Overall, she introduced the all of her experiences and every process and skills that she used, I have more realized and became more interested about his working skills. Otherwise, she shows a lot of lines to present her great composition, and she still making brilliant line drawing works.

The presentation of Mary Curtis
To look through Mary Curtis work, she has done so many researched such as sought around many of European object and jewelry museums, and searched for the crafts, or thing. She even prepared and searching for ideas to make her creations. Overall she is organized and done a lot of collections for the reference.
First, I am festinated about her small object design, she refer to Robert Klippel’s work “Eighty-seven small polychromed tie sculptures,” which were the tiny and little sculptures, also with the colorful layout and the fine lines, no matter the internal or external, the whole construction looks elegant and nice. Therefore, the Klippel used so many materials to build up the structure, and the interesting thing is each object will have different shapes and outlines, also each thing have particular geometric figure. So she followed his style to make lots of small objects with golden color, and used different materials to create different kind of crafts.
Another work which I like is that she transferred Frances Hansen outline work into her jewelry design. She used one of her composition which had spiral and some circle shapes, then she make use of those circling shapes into her rings decorations, she perform with different surface works and particular shapes which I never seen before. I very interested about the way she used solder, bended around the wires became spiral shapes, it shows the elegant circular cone and inlayed on the rings.
Overall, Mary Curtis presented the great compositions and with some classical style, she also made the nice forms on each object works, and the brilliant out-lines no matter the external or internal, all of her works have distinctive features and looks unique.

Stenciling artist-Frances Hansen
My first impression about Frances Hansen’s work is her stenciling work which was displayed in the library. She used cleaning products or bottles which were not making and were not sale in every supermarket, then made black and white opposite stenciling shapes and colors, it presented the negative and positive format, also painted the background with purple and soft green colors to make the warm and elegant composition. Therefore, she made series of works with same stenciling techniques, and she developed and transformed her works on many of baskets decorations, such as installing art pile up the baskets together, also made the stenciling on each basket with black or white bottle images.
However, her body of work had represented the typical home decorations, in each of works had showed she loves simple, artistic. No matter the color used and the whole concept, she created the warm and comfortable visual effect. I am festinated with Frances’s work about she used amount of objects, source materials to create series of compositions.
Furthermore, during her creation, she collecting recycling crafts, for example, the pieces of card board, boxes, the plastic bags from air line, or the objects which she had been used such as the package papers, newsprint, advertise, and so on. She combined with those pieces of crafts to create the huge construction. The component which without the complicated subject matter, she just collected and separated the pieces of things into the small plastic and the bag of sheet protector. I am curious about her idea that she remade the recycling things to become a new style of object compositions.
Overall, I very like her creations and all of her works have related with living style, and home decoration. She made tiny little thing to become the brilliant vision, and the great visual condition of her stenciling and objects.

A Printer and a Painter- Emma McLellan
In my point of view, the artist Emma McLellan, in her entire spectrum of printing and painting work which represented the different color tone of ancient woman’s paintings in her previously work. And later of her masterpiece, she used different kind of animals, creature portraits to create series of pattern works. For example, she found some references from the books such as the medieval bestiary, then mixed with the ornamental curiosity. I am so festinated about some of her work like “Reiterate” and “Interior in Velvet Blue Damask,” those series of compositions which has made with different painting techniques, also drew by different methods. In “Reiterate,” she used William Morris work to recreate the new patterns with animals and flowers, and replicated the symmetrical images, such as flipping, or reflecting the layout. However, it just like same patterns connective together, then showed the particular format, it looks elegant and the whole layout shows ancient luxurious style.
Furthermore, most of her printing work was made by paint on panel and screen print techniques, also combined with science and technology by using Adobe photoshop, to rearrange the series of reflecting patterns. First, I like her exquisite drawing skills with fine lines to show the animal’s movement, and the strip on them bodies. In “Chimera Series”, at first I thought she used the black pen to draw the outline of the images, and the images shows vivid forms, just like every animal which drew on the car board, or canvases were have vitality, very natural movement such as creeping, climbing, walking, or standing.
Overall, to look though her subject matter, no matter used different methods, or materials, the whole body is strong and fascinating shows the new range of interesting compositions with the creatures and animals we did not see before. Her conceptual idea was kind of fairy tale and the characters whom from the myth, these ideas has developed the interesting atmosphere and the strong vision attract many people’s vision.

The Lecture11
29/05/09
In my opinion, in the definition of materiality, affect, and site are influence each other. The artist did not only present their work on a piece of paper, but can explored and extend their work by using different media, technical to create and represent the greatest composition.
However, I very impressed about artist Jackson Pollock, he used different color paints such as basic oil paint red, blue, yellow, green, etc. Then sprinkled on the canvas or the paper, and to look through his compositions, it all without the subject matter and the clearly forms. Also it did not have any figures and strong lines showed in whole construction. I thought he made so many mass drawing without used the paint brush to paint on the surface, and he just waved both his arms and held the brushes with some of wet oil paint, and sprinkled the paints on the papers or canvas surface. It produced the special and powerful effects that the paints were combined together, some of the color has lost the original color, but the whole compositions looked busy, tidy, even the tense which obviously to present the artist spent a lot of time to created the strange forms without the fine lines, he just like Da Da Art style and the surrealist who influencing the 20th century of contemporary art. No matter the crazy and the mass paintings, Jackson Pollock was created the particular modern art, then used different type of paint technique to built up the strange forms.
Overall, except the Jackson Pollock, there are lots of artists makes the great masterpiece that influence the modern art history, and created the new and fresh pieces of works which attracts many people’s vision. Therefore, used different kind of media to make the festinate works.

The Lecture10
22/05/09In today’s lecture and tutorial class, in my point of view this was my first time to focus on the topic about “Representation and Museum.” Also this is my first time to go to the Auckland Museum. I am so curious about the museum’s exhibition and the ancient objects, or the history of culture background, or anything about national geography, and so on.
In the lecture, I am very impressed about Francis Upritchard’s works, to look through her compositions, I like her “Save Yourself” and “Traveller’s Collection.” Both of her works represented the ancient of Egypt culture, the curse mummy, the bury things that belong to the dead mummy, and the strange collections. In her first work, she made a grave on the gallery’s floor and she dismantled part of floor, then mix with sand on that space, just like you stood in the under grave. And the mummy which made by mixing media was lay down on the ground like the real scene and real ancient grave was be presented in the gallery. Besides, Francis made the particular effect that made the mummy alive, he can scream and shake, it was an brilliant idea and her personal conceptual idea that create the whole framework. However, she was fancied with the Egypt ancient stuffs, no matter the old legend, or the historical context, even the ancient fashion costumes, she used her own made to build up the “real life” and “the truth” in front of the gallery.
What is more her whole projects and the objects are fascinating and realistic that changed the unreal things into the “live.”
Furthermore, in the tutorial class, we went to the museum to find out more research and idea that associated with the lecture topic, it has provided many details and subject matters. And then I was very enjoyed seeking and looking around the exhibitions in the museum. I discovered many things undiscovered, also the memories that we lost in many centuries ago, such as historical remains, ecology, archeology, the natural environment, ancient things, and the cultures in different world wide.
Overall, it was the best experience and the greatest observational time to realize that many different things we could not find, the definition we misunderstood, and the part of life we went through before.

The Lecture9
15/05/09About today’s lecture, we discussed about “Gender, the Body, and the Gaze. From my point of view, the definition of gender has refers to social attributes and opportunities that associated with being female and male, and the relationships between women and men also boys and girls, therefore, the relationships between women and between men. Besides, these attributes between male and female, those relationships in socially constructed are becoming an importance topical subject, generally it has becoming very common and popular socially relations that we can see in the world wide. Also, with the trend of times, gender can be changeable between those women and men relationships; although gender had another meaning that can be allowed or not allowed in contemporary sociality, but still some of people could not accept the “real” relationships between women and between men. In addition, I think “gender” means sexual identity, no matter male or female whom create the art history that influence the contemporary art, or whom try to pretend like a homosexual or heterosexuality people, I think it is the way of them personal ideas, they are using different viewpoint to look through themselves and change them outside of the figure.
Furthermore, I like the artist Grayson Perry, he is a brilliant potter that create the elegant and gorgeous pots. He change the traditional art form into another drawing lines and colors, for instance, I like one of his work called “Barbaric Splendour”(the picture which is above the first pargraph), the color and the picture which he drew is very artistic and had combined with the classic art and contemporary art. Also I like the way he used the black color to be an outline, then used the different color to paint the interior of the line area, he did not draw the fine line in those figure, but in whole conceptual idea is an outstanding creation that I have not seen before. However, he has a hobby that likes to wear the girl’s dress, he is not the “real homosexual”, he just like wearing the beautiful dress and pretend like a girl or woman. I very impressed that he wear the girl’s stuff like that and doing the girl’s attitude and doing any movement like the girl, I think it just like his performing art “pretend like somebody.”
Overall, it is a great lecture to realize how so popular and an important that gender had related not only the traditional art, but also had related to the contemporary art.
