Arts through history about social and cultural influences.
Art History Resources: (Artists, Art Movements, Biographies, Artwork)
Sydney Rock Engravings: 10000 BC
TOM ROBERTS : A SUMMER MORNING TIFF,
1886
this work was painted in the bush at Box Hill, close to the artists' camp site.
The model for this work was Harriet (Polly), one of McCubbin's four sisters. She was born on 18 August 1861 and would have been aged twenty-three when she posed for this work.
Artist: Noel COUNIHAN Birth/Death: 1913–1986
Title: At the start of the march 1932
Artist: Sidney NOLAN
Birth/Death: 1917–1992
Title: Head of soldier 1942
The model was Captain Bilby, Nolan’s commanding officer in the supply corps in the Wimmera district of Victoria..Nolan was passionately against Australian involvement in the Second World War and had done everything to avoid active duty. By painting a digger, the embodiment of Australian pride, as a shell-shocked victim, Nolan exposed the lunacy of war and his personal reaction to it.
'The drover's wife', c1945Drysdale's works are a record of a time when Australians began seeing the bush as a place of broken dreams and hence, began to look elsewhere for their heroes.
n 1944 the artist, Russell Drysdale (1912–81), was commissioned by the Sydney Morning Herald to record the devastation of a drought and the associated soil erosion in western New South Wales.
Pop Art
In many respects it was influenced by the consumer boom that followed the end of the Second World War, and greatly coincided with the youth and pop music phenomenon of the 50s and 60s.Pop Art emphasised the kitschy elements of popular culture to downgrade the elitist art culture and the seriousness that surrounded it. It marked a return to sharp paintwork and representational art and glorified unappreciated objects and ordinary business. In doing so, it aimed to make art more meaningful for everyday people and came to target a broad audience.
Modernism refers to the style and ideology of art produced between the 1860s and the 1970s. As traditional art forms had become outdated due to industrialization, modernism emerged in Western Europe out of a need to reject tradition and embrace the political, social and economic change of the industrial age.

More Information Design...
Information design: what is the product? Define the product and audience, plan the project, and organise the content into a flowchart.
Define the product and audience:
The multimedia product will allow stdudents to discover the changing concepts embedded within artworks throughout history and respond with their own views on social or cultural issues that may be in effect with their current social environment.
The product is targeted at high school students in geade 9, however could be used in universities, community groups or for anyone wanting to learn more about art history.
(still working on getting the quality of image from bubblus to look better)

Information design:
First step.
Information design: what is the product? Define the product and audience, plan the project, and organise the content into a flowchart.
The product is going to be an educational multimedia resource about "some aspect of your community that may be changing, or even disappearing." Because " A direct link must be made to curriculum...(i.e. all specific KLA Learning Outcomes and Essential Learnings will need to be identified)." My first step would be to find a KLA that coincides with a topic about aspects of community disapearing.
The three that i have found are :
Ideas are researched to inform visual responses that consider social and cultural issues.
Media areas are used in isolation and in combination to make arts works.
Visual arts elements and concepts in combination are used to create compositions.
Though, i'm not sure if i can use all three, and because this is a new style of kla for me, i'm not sure how to present them in the format. ( i couldnt find any numbers or codes).

Planning...
The assignment outline is :
Suggest some aspect of your community that may be changing, or even disappearing. Write a description of how you would document the change. What would you have an audience learn about this change or aspect that is disappearing?
according to 'Interactivity by design', the process for creating interactive multimedia is as follows:
Information design: what is the product? Define the product and audience, plan the project, and organise the content into a flowchart.
Interaction design: How should it work? Design the navigation, types of interaction and controls, and map these onto a story board.
Presentation Design: How should it look? Define the style and layout of the elements in the storyboard, and produce a prototype.

Beginnings.
This blogspace has been setup to assist with assignment 1 by providing:
"Extensive evidence of adequate reading of current research to support analysis."
and...
Assist with assignment 2.b by collecting information to be able to write a report that..." critically reflects on the development process and evaluates the effectiveness of the multimedia product in meeting the needs of the learners and in achieving curriculum objectives.
The above report also needs the following ...
Aim your report at the level of a knowledgeable colleague who may want to engage in a similar project.
Your report should be approximately 800 - 1000 words long.
Critical Reflection of the Development Process (15) – Does your report critically reflect on the
development of the multimedia process in such a way that it would be useful to a colleague embarking on
a similar project? Comment on your graphics, audio and video production. Justify the differences between
the initial design and the finished resource. What was your motivation to make these changes? Please
explain why didn’t you didn’t need to make any changes? You may relate to the key stages of this process
to your actual experience of designing, developing, authoring and refining your project - with particular
emphasis on how some of the obstacles faced and overcome gave you new and practical insights about
the process undertaken.
Critical Evaluation of the Multimedia Project – Does your report critically evaluate your multimedia
resource in such a way that it could result in improvements being made to your resource or in the retention
of particularly good aspects of it in another similar project? How does your project meet your learners’
needs and achieve curriculum objectives?
Referencing (5) – Your report must be supported by references to literature. An APA formatted reference
list must be included.
