INDEPENDENT STUDY

‘James (Sitting)’ by Patricia Piccinini is what seems to be a sketch using graphite pencils of a little baby (James) with some sort of alien looking animal. It is most probably according to my observation sketched on cartridge paper. This artwork is very simple and minimal with the density of graphite. I think that’s what drew me closer to this piece of artwork. Looking greatly close at this piece of art, the back of this alien creature has a great amount of detail, which also gives me a clue that it probably took a while to produce.

Sidney Nolan’s ‘The Trail’, which is apart of the Ned Kelly Collection, with my understanding, it can be interpreted, as being a very sharp and obscure piece of artwork. By looking and studying this piece, I see it as a photomontage with many materials put in together to result in the final artwork. From what I can see in this work, there are bold and obvious brush strokes throughout this canvas. Looking at the overall colour scheme, unlike the piece by Patricia Piccinini, this artwork uses very warm colours to communicate the overall scene. The use of proportion is used and taken advantage of in this artwork as seen with the man sitting in the left hand side being smaller than he should be, perhaps communicating to us our power in the courthouse.

The set of 2 dimensional section drawings from my notebook are posted in the Week 03 post in this blog.
