Research Task

Visual Culture - Theory
(weeks 2 - 3)




Oh no! The art-theory class.. everyone's favourite right ;)


I have previous knowledge and experience with all this thanks to my artistic background throughout high school and during my tertiary studies, but welcome the thought of learning new things from a new set of lecturers and class mates - and so far i have.


Tess is quite a character and i think i will enjoy her classes.


It was nice listening to her story during last week's class introduction process and great to be a part of some stimulating class discussions. Let's hope this continues as i always enjoy taking in people's thoughts and feelings on things - especially the power of an image.

This week's class involved us visiting the CIT's on-campus library.


I found this beneficial as i never had time for libraries during my school years because i was never much of an academic student. However, now that i have grown up and have a thirst for knowledge i plan to embrace it as best as i can.


We were set a task to complete before the end of class and it involved splitting into small groups to select an artist and their work from last week's presentation and write a one-page report/review on it and present for feedback.


I paired off with Natasha, Taylor and Lisa - we chose Australian artist Frederick McCubbin's work The Pioneer.

I enjoyed working with them for this task as they were all very proactive and delivered some great information with which we then all combined our own input to create the following.
