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.

Hi Ramsen :)
So far I'm liking your building but be careful that those trees in the background doesn't hide your architecture! Everything looks very serene and I can see how it blends in with its natural surroundings.
It would be good to see a different set of stairs from the gallery to above ground, just so we can see your originality (remember this experiment places a big emphasis on the stairs).
However I really like your textures~! It shows that you have put a lot of effort into experimenting with different shading techniques and I think they capture the words used to describe them very well!
