Animation

That video waas absolutely terrifying! The universe put into that perspective is just so impossibly unimaginable, thinking about it just makes my head hurt. I new the universe had no end, that we know of, but seeing the whole thing just smashed in front of your face like that is just amazing. The music was so beautiful, it described the feeling of loneliness and adventure and impossible things all at once. The inmage3s were amazing, the stars and galaxies being created, it shows just how infinently unsignifigant Earth and humans are in reality or whatever is beyond reality. Even if our race progressed to a 'space stage' and could travel at a million times the speed of light we would still never be able to explore that endless universe. It does raise one sad question though, if there was the slightest, tiniest, miniscule possiblitly that we were, or are, the first type of 'intelligent' life to evolve, then just thinking about that lonliness is enough to make anyone cry.

Edge of the Universe

I think I would have to agree with the expanding universe model, the universe is simply immpossible to imagine, for me at least, and I can think of absolutely no way to represent it in any mental or physical form. So little is known and so little is seen of the universe, the possibilities are endless. I would never be able to get my head around it if the 'edge of the universe' was 'discovered'. What could the edge possibly be? How could it be a solid object, like a wall? That would be imppossible because then that wall would have to be created by something. How could it be simply nothingness? Just an endless black? Because nothingness in itself is not nothing, it still exists. Therefore I conclude that the only thing that could mark the end of the universe is some sort of spiritual realm, for nothing else makes sense.

Chicken or Egg?

I believe the chicken came first, due to particular circumstances such as a change in the environment or a new substance in the 'chickens' make-up, the egg was an evolution. The birds body needed to create a safer way or simply a different way to produce its youn, so it evolved the hard shell to hold its young untill they reached maturity.

Step 1 - Roy de Maistre

Roy de Maistre painted in a very sought-after style of work, he was a "colour-music" painter. He vigorously researched the concept of colour harmony, using the colours in a painting like musical notes to blend together and create a symphony. He was one of the leading exponents of Modernism in Australia.

Task 1 - Arthur Streeton

When he was young, learning at an art school he went out with other students and painted in the plein air style, where they took their canvas' outside and simply painted while looking at the world around them. He was also interested in the Impressionism style, he exhibited 40 works in "The 9 By 5 Impression Exhibition." He worked with other artists for a while in a hospital during the war, the injured soldiers had a great effect on him, and he was later declared medically unfit and went away to recuperate. For a few years while he visited and lived in Olinda, he painted many panoramic landscapes which are giant paintings that reveal a wide view of a particular subject, usually a landscape, historical event or battle.

Task 1 - Tom Roberts

Tom Roberts was an English artist who moved to Australia, he was well known for bringing the style of Impressionism to Australia. Impressionism is a technique that involves using very bright colours and short brush strokes to show the effect of light on different objects in the paintings.

Step 1 - Eugene von Guerard

Eugene von Guerard came to Australia in 1852 but even though he was already an artist he didn't start painting in Australia immediately, instead he became a gold-digger. He later became a working artist again painting properties and such. In the early 1980'2 von Guerard was far more famous for his landscape paintings. He painted these with remarkably shadowy lighting and in-depth detail.
