This week i went to an art forum over at the ANU school of art. A well known australian artist named Ben Quilty came to talk to the students about his style of painting, inspiration and just about his background. When he was 18 he was sent over to Afghanistan with the soldiers as a war artist and heard many horrific stories from the soldiers, which inspired him to paint. The forum was very interesting and quite different for me as i don't usually go to those types of things. Here is some of his paintings:

I have been working on my new assignment for Enzo this week to do with photography, i have been researching a lot of styles and have decided that i will be doing some night photography with a slow shutter speed for my style choice. I want to aim for something that turns out kind of like light painting, these are some images i want it to look like.
