my art gallery excursion reflection
In the Art Gallery Excursion organized by EAP Listening on May 13th, 2014, I visited NSW Art Gallery, Aboriginal arts in particular, guide by Tahjee Moar (Tour Guide) and Sally Cullen (Volunteer Guide), who introduced a number of traditional and contemporary works of art, among which some artistic works really attracted me. For example,the sculpture called ‘Fruit bats’ by Lin Onus in 1991. As per Guide Tahjee Moar, the fiberglass sculpture features 99 fruit bats, hanging on a Hills Hoist clothes line. It combines traditional indigenous culture with the suburban Australian lifestyle, and is the picture of a sort of ‘suburban dreaming’. This Aboriginal artwork expresses some special meaning of Aboriginal. Due to the white people cut trees and occupy the land, as a result, Aboriginal have no more space to live. They have to live together and share food. So, in the artwork, the bats are hanging in the clothesline while the ground is mess. All the bats seem the same but actually different to each other, which implies the life condition of Aboriginal in the period of time. The Aboriginal artworks help indigenous to pass culture to next generation, and help us to understand the Aboriginal life and thinking,as well as promoting communication. Because I think art is something, no race, no colour, no language and no national boundaries.

reflection
EAP computer class is really very helpful for everyone including me. I am really happy to participate in computer class. In addition, I learnt many things from this class such as how to work with blog.
Even though I completed IT Network Support Certificate IV last year, this course is very handy for me to know the basic things which I missed when I was doing IT Network. The main reason for learning blog is to communicate with other people as a group. Furthermore, I would rather use blog than using e-mail. For example, I can add Art Gallery picture and other people can see my posted blog. Moreover,many advantages are using blogs such as marketing, political campaign, entertainment, historical information.
However, there are some disadvantages to use blog: people can access and use their bad comments and it can be harmful some times. For example, couple a weeks ago, I watched a video regarding publishing blog personal issue for a girl who suffered a lot of social problems and she lost her self-esteem.
Finally, I would like to say , we can use blogs for varies purposes and it depends on how we would like it use it; it could be on good purposes or bad reasons.
