Smart described the painting as a product of influence by realists Brian Dunlop (1938-2009) and William Delafield-Cook (1936-2015). The most renowned artwork of his time in Sydney, it’s style is “realism coloured with surrealism; the pop element in his constant flirtation with abstraction” (Allen, 2013). The painting depicts a bald, rotund man standing under Sydney’s Cahill Expressway, alone amidst a desolate landscape. Above him, a cloudy sky hangs over the streetscape. “The Cahill Expressway” (1962) demonstrates Smart’s transition from impasto to eggshell finish, contrast of tone and notorious use of the Golden Mean. Smart clarified that this work, similar to his others, merely employs figures to indicate scale, “a bald man makes a lovely volume and gives me a highlight”(Hauser, 2013). Such a claim is evident in Smart’s focus on manipulating the contrast of urban features. The use of geometric shapes dominates the landscape and provides a contrast with the significantly smaller, organic areas of the man and sky. The artwork depicts a variety of urban subject matter, including both rounded and quadrilateral shapes. As one of his earlier pieces, the artwork consists of muted tones that allow shape and size to create contrast, rather than striking hues. The underpass of the foreground is emphasized through the used of the Golden Mean, coupled with illumination from the light source. Additionally, the curved shape and solid, smooth application of light yellow hues contrasts with the more intricate details of the darker background buildings. Whilst the ambiguity and tonal emphasis on the foreground figure inspires a multitude of interpretations, the juxtaposition of varying architecture and manipulation of composition indicates Smart’s intention to master the art of architectural
In chapter two of The Cultures of American Film, the main focus is the establishment of studios. As demand for films rose in the early 1900’s, production companies needed to expand; this lead to the creation of large scale studios.
For more than fifty years, Clint Eastwood has been actively defining and redefining cinema as an art form. His experiences as an actor on television and in film have greatly influenced his directing style. Across his films, Eastwood incorporates several issues and techniques that help the audience to identify said films with Eastwood's directorial style. Eastwood's aim in his films is to tell stories of the human experience. Francois Truffaut and Andrew Sarris have aimed to define the qualities that make a director an auteur whose works stand out above the rest. The qualities defined by Truffaut and Sarris can be seen in Eastwood films including Unforgiven (1992), Million Dollar Baby (2004), and Changeling (2008) and help to establish Eastwood as an auteur.
Liveability is the sum of factors that work together to form the general quality of life experienced by a region’s residents and others. Holly Smith, the author of Australia’s Brisbane and Queensland, said that, “Brisbane is a perfectly modern city today, with glittering high rise buildings and an abundance of green parks, a surrounding of hilly suburbs and a wealth of adventure opportunities.” The goal of this presentation is to examine these factors through the research into the liveability of Brisbane suburbs Camp Hill And Everton Park. Within in each element, two to three measures were selected and investigated, which helped form the overall picture of the suburb’s
They relish in their private spot tucked away in one of the most sought-after water frontage suburbs in Sydney. The proximity to the CBD and to Crow’s Nest gives them ample opportunities to go join the excitement of the city.
Clint Eastwood’s, Unforgiven, represents a “new” type of Western that defies the formula previously used to create traditional Western films. Unlike Shane, a film with a clear-cut threat to the community, endangering all homesteaders, a lack of defense, creating an unfair advantage to the threat imposed, and a true hero, one who saves the day and must willingly return to where he came from, Unforgiven is a Western that is told through a different formula. Eastwood tackles this revisionist piece and lacks the three basic components to any classic Western film – a threat, lack of defense, and a hero.

Terrey Hills is a super bushy northern Sydney suburb that is somewhat rural in certain sections, but it close enough to commute to the capital city or the CBD. Because there are so many large blocks of rural land, you will find several horse riding school and people who own horses. Most people in Terrey Hills own their homes in this bushland suburb. Suburbs that are so close to the bushlands often experience bush fires, but Terrey Hills is home to the Rural Fire Service and the State Emergency Service. Quality child care, preschools, and primary and secondary schools are a big part of the Terrey Hills culture just like horses and sports.
Now the surrounding area consists mainly of residential development of houses and recreational facilities (1850-present). (City of Melbourne, 2018)
North Coast Town mainly explores Gray’s self-discovery about his fear of the unknown. The central theme of change is carried throughout the text. It is clear that this subject is confronting to the persona as they are seeing the last of what they recognise to be authentic, being replaced with the newer, industrialised culture. Developments were appearing more and more throughout coastline suburbs in the time which the text is set, as part of a push for the Australian economy. This created more amenities and population, but also tended to lose the original, community township feel. These transformations are conveyed through juxtaposition from the old to the new, the known to the unknown, “We pass bulldozed acres; the place is becoming chrome. tile-facing and plate glass, they’re making California; pass an Abo, not attempting to hitch, outside town.” This example also displays exaggeration, further developing Gray’s overwhelmed stance, the result of such

Chinese food consists the elements of color, aroma, taste, appearance, and meaning. Many places in China have its own aroma and Chinese foods are variety. It has its own distinguish flavor. As can be seen, my favorite food sweet and sour pork is one of the famous dish. The color is bright red-orange; when the customers look at it, it makes them want to eat it. The sweetness and sourness allow the customer have bigger appetite. The sourness tends to make people to eat more when they are hungry. Moreover, the fried rice, I would like to it everyday without getting bored with it. Many people around the world also know what fried rice is and there are different ways to make it with different ingredients and
The above picture is a several of steaming hot and colorful dim sum (also known as Dian Xin (heart’s delight) or Yum Cha (drinking tea), from Chinese Cuisine. Dim sum has as many as 150 items on a single menu and about 2,000 items in the entire range; it could be fried, steamed or baked (1. Guide to Dim Sum by Hong Kong Tourism Board website). Dim sum is a prevalent and comfort food in any Chinese country. Depending how dim sum is presented to customers and consumers, they can be classified as good, service as well as a combination of both. They are either made to order from a restaurant kitchen or manufactured in a factory (2. SMH, heritage). The core benefit of dim sum is to satisfy the hunger. On an actual product level, good consistent quality in term of taste, texture, appearance and aroma can cause customers more likely to be repeating customers. Again, good package design and reputable brand name are examples of the actual product. If dim sum is to be presented at a restaurant setting, then the speed of food delivery from the kitchen to table and ambience of dining place are examples of the augmented product. Typically, dim sum is batch made and flash-frozen in a central kitchen before delivering to restaurants, caterers or grocery stores.
