My post from Ralf's place

Last Sunday I showed Ralf the difference in blogging tools. I can't wait for him to start as he's going to detail the process of how he creates his paintings. Some of Ralf's work can be seen here. Ralf and his art work is quite well known in Melbourne, particularly Fitzroy.

Excursion to Melbourne & NGV

On Friday 6 students and one of the teachers went on excursion to Melbourne. We visited the Ian Potter Gallery.
There we saw several exhibitions while there.
  1. Katie Pye - Clothes for Modern Lovers
  2. Kitty Kantilla - retrospective
Next we went to NGV International.
  1. Sneakers - Classics to customs
  2. Imaginery Prisons - G B Piranesi & Vik Muniz
  3. Great Exhibitions - The world fairs 1851 - 1937
Then off to the State Library to see the exhibition I was very keen to see. Yep printmaking & artists books. Artists prints & books created by many of Australia's leading artists curated by Dianne Fogwell.
  1. Collaborative works from the ANU Edition + Artist Book Studio
Some of the works in the exhibition can be found here (prints) and here (books).

And lastly a couple of the girls and I went to a fabulous Japanese fabric & quilting shop called Kimono Hous

And finally home on the train.
