Introductory Activities - Part One

A: My best piece of creative work

This seahorse was part of a mobile I created for my Visual Arts Major Work in Year 12. It incorporated various animals crafted from pipecleaners, as an analogy to the development of childrens' minds (as unshaped pipecleaners are easily bent but flexibility decreases once a structure is formed).

B: A great piece of architecture

Upside-Down House in Syzmbark, Poland, was designed by Daniel Czapiewski with the intention of portraying the upheaval and disorientation felt by the Polish population following the Communist era. The unusual wall angles confused workers and caused the constuction to take around 5 times longer than expected.^[1]

C: Original photograph of something beautiful

"Bubbles" often visits my grandparents to be fed, though he belongs to their neighbours. He seems to spend most of his time staring at the ground and licking people's ankles, as cats do.
