What have you found most useful in the discussions in class and the visits to exhibitions and galleries?
Visiting all the different galleries and discussing the exhibitions with people that understand art is very beneficial to my understanding of the work. I enjoy slowly walking through exhibitions and discussing the works with other people, but that is difficult to do with friends and family members. I also found the curator talks interesting and informative. It's nice to know how people got to these jobs and the journey they took to get there.
What have you discovered that you didn’t know before?
I actually didn't know about The Churchie Prize, so it's good to know about local art prizes for the future. I have also discovered new artists and art works that may influence my work in the future.
My favourite exhibition so far this semester is Time of Others. I love On Kawara's date paintings and it was great to see them in person. On Kawara definitely influenced my drawing projects this semester and it's great that these subjects can overlap sometimes and help me with my own art practice.
