Presentation

- Combine all artwork techniques of 4 different artists into a collage of one painting; a fusion.
 * Working towards our final product:**
 * 1) Migrants - Boris Hlavica
 * 2) Mining - Kevin White
 * 3) Community - Howard William Steer
 * 4) Using natural land resources into artworks - Aboriginal style - Geoff DeMain

We will be dividing up our 3 A4 canvas's into two halves- subterranean and terrain. The artwork will be in the form of a collage and presents the natural environment in the perspective of artists in a timeline. The subterranean will consist of artwork with inspiration from Kevin White. Then in the terrain- Aboriginal culture influence from Geoff Demain, migrant influence from Boris Hlavica and culture of life in Broken Hill, from Howard William Steer. In the background, there will be a slideshow of information of the artists who have inspired us. The slideshow will also consist of a series of pictures throughout our researching in Broken Hill.
 * Ideas for final presentation:**

__Mining:__ - Horse placed for the past skills in mining - Charcoal to emphasise on parts of the mine - Using rocks from nature. Little bit of glitter added to the rocks for easy identity of the minerals. - Drawing the spider as it was one of the sources of light - For the present, there is less manual work from people and more use of machines.

__Migrants in Broken Hill:__ - Camels in the foreground - Illustrated the story of the Afganistan's camel service policing - Use of red soil to illustrate the hot, demanding weather of the outback - Painting the camels and the people

__Howard Steer__ – Many Australian Animals – The background will be like broken hill; blue skies and red soil. – The flying doctor (Howard Steer Style) will be seen. – The Australian style clothing to possibly symbolise the weather

__Aboriginal:__ - Use of beads in Aboriginal colours - Show a story - Animals


 * Our speech**

Hi my name is Hyehee, Michelle, Claudia and Keertana. The topic we have been researching and will be presenting to you is based on art in Broken Hill. We have made a collage called the 'The trilogy of Broken Hill'. The Focus Question is: How does the natural environment influence artists in Broken Hill? We have made a collage, which has a fusion of different art techniques used by 4 renowned artists here in Broken Hill. The artists are Boris Hlavica, Geoff Demain, Howard William Steer and Kevin White. The collage has been divided into a half- subterranean and the terrain. Did you know that Howard William Steer's paintings are recognised even though some of his works are not signed. The key motif to his works includes the same landscape for the background and commonly uses a person flying as a symbol for the flying doctor.
 * Hyehee:**

The Subterranean shows our interpretation of Kevin White' s mine artworks. He uses minerals that come from the mine that people cannot access today. We interpreted his art by using small rocks that we have found where we have been living in Mulberry Vale. By doing this we have incorporated the natural environment into our artwork. The subterranean part is like a short timeline. The bottom left shows the olden days and it gradually changes overtime into the present day where machines are used and less humans and animals.The top is divided into 3 sections to represent 3 different artists. We were influenced by Wendy Martin and her style of mixing glue and water for a stronger hold with natural materials. This was seen in the Bush and Beyond gallery.
 * Michelle:**

The first artwork focuses on Aboriginals and their culture, where they use natural resources to depict natural environment through art. We obtained this information from a small gallery in Broken Hill, which belongs to Geoff Demain and he got his inspiration from the Aboriginal artist, Badger Bates.
 * Keertana:**

The next artwork depicts how migrants have impacted on the natural environment. Camels were introduced by the people from the middle east and were the main form of transport for security reasons. The Afghans and camels were depicted in the work of Boris Hlavica as he, himself is a migrant to Broken Hill from the Czech Republic.
 * Claudia:**

The modern day artwork, which is presented in a comical style was influenced by Howard William Steer. His artworks are stereotypes of the 'real' outback Australia. The Royal Flying Doctor is a significant icon in the paintings as it is the central headquarters in Broken Hill.
 * Keertana:**

These sources have been a powerful influence in preparing for our artwork and we hope you have learnt a variety of information through our artscape journey. Please go to our table, which is table no…..,to have a closer look at our artwork.
