A lot of Keith Haring’s work was social driven - depicting depression, AIDs and deaths of celebrities in his pieces, however all remained with the same simplistic style

'Hand with Reflecting Sphere' by M.C Escher - I remember seeing this work at the NGV a few years ago, this piece was described as something like ‘no matter where the mirrored ball is, you are always in the centre of it, often reflecting one’s ego’. 

Escher often had quite surreal and sometimes futuristic views, expressing them in art.

Interesting look at surrealism in terms of fashion movements

The original printing press - Such an amazing grand structure to produce such precise small prints

Reminded me of the very geometric modernistic visuals of Kandinsky, highlighting a lot of the popular movements throughout the Bauhaus

Looking at Olympic Logos over the years and comparing different typefaces and hierarchy of texts

Older Logos tend to highlight their graphics, often using small refined text, mostly sans serif, and a couple of serif types.

After the year of 2000 the text became more a part of the logo, using specialised  and more organic style typefaces

the above shows the impact of modernistic ideologies

The end of futurism, designing with art that already exists. 

An interesting era, heavily influenced by the use of drugs, specifically psychedelics

Lucia Moholy kept a meticulous documentation of the bauhaus era, however her art was forgotten whilst her male cohorts became legends. 

She had to flee Germany as her husband was arrested by a Nazi, leaving behind around 600 of her glass negatives that were later sent to Chicago where Bauhaus director and founder Walter Gropius took credit for around 50 of them when displayed in the MoMA in New York in the late 1950s.

Only in the last few years has Moholy been properly recognised and respected.

(1913-1916) Calligrammes - Guillaume Apollinaire

Translated to

This lovely person is you Under the big boater hat Eye

Nose The mouth Here is the oval of your face Your exquisite neck Here is finally the imperfect image of your adored bust seen as through a cloud

A little lower, your heart is beating

Some zines! I found some PDF downloads and printed them - a bit of a mind twist figuring out how to print and fold them (before tutorial showing us how). I used a needle and thread instead of staples and liked the effect that gave

Art scape inspired by my research on Florence Mary Taylor - the first qualified female architect in Australia, represented by the array of males in the collage. She was also the first woman in Australia to fly a heavier-than-air craft, as shown by the plane in the sky

Another format of the seed pods I tried was using toothpicks to stick them into the dirt making them look like they were a part of the plant, they get a little lost in the plant and it was less natural having the toothpick in the image

This beautiful moth on the window displays letter forms within its natural patterns! It looks like the word ‘EVE’, and there are some other letters hidden in there like ‘S’ and ‘r’
