Zoe Tweedale

Zoe's paintings are developing strongly and show many of the fascinations that drove her as a student. Great to see her doing so well.

Workshop Week at TAFE
Workshop week is a time to try something new. The usual path is deviated from and we throw ourselves into the deep end of some strange and fascinating new methods of mark making. Sometimes old, sometimes new, sometimes borrowed and sometimes blue (that's the cyanotype workshop)
The workshop I conducted with Clare Weeks was all about making a time lapse animation. We had a lovely group of eager participants. The process can be time consuming but our group dove in head first and came up smiling. Several hundred images later and each member of the group had a completed animation by the end of the day. Some of which are displayed below for your enjoyment.
Thanks to the artists Sharon Williams, Patrick Maverty and Nicholas Grimes

TVET Animation
During term two of the TVET photography course we did a project involving stop motion animation. This process involves capturing a sequence of images of something happening and stitching them together to create a continuous motion animation. The number of images usually starts between 60 - 300 (one of the students shot 2000 images for her animation)
Below are two examples of the work done by this creative group of high school students.

Kiss My Arts
During the month of May, MS Australia ran a fundraising program called Kiss Goodbye to MS. Two TAFE photography teachers, Clare Weeks and James Murphy, participated in the event by collaborating on an image each day of the month and posting these images to the 'Kiss Goodbye' Facebook page. Each image represented one letter of the fundraiser title KISS GOODBYE TO MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS X
The team were called Kiss My Arts and during the month of May they also coordinated an exhibition of the same name. Many TAFE teachers, students and ex-students came together to exhibit artworks at the exhibition and donate a percentage of the sale price of their artwork to MS Australia. The proceeds of the month long fundraiser and the exhibition amounted to over $2,500.00
Well down to all the participants for an outstanding fundraiser.
