Art Shops!

 Thank you for clicking on this post - it means so much to me. And yes, I know I could've been a little more comprehensive when titling this ("Art Shop!" isn't much), but whatever came to mind sounded too cheesy so I just gave up. 

I have been running two art shops on the Threadless and Redbubble platforms for about a year, and although the sales I make aren't many, I really do enjoy the occasional purchase people make. I just wanted to put it up here as well, because creating art is something I really am passionate about and would like to share it with you. Below you'll find links to my Redbubble and Threadless shops. Have fun browsing and stay safe!

Barcelona Pavilion - Architecture and Technology

Image
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion seems to feature ideas ranging from the distant past like classicism, to more recent ones, such as Industrial Neoclassicism. Classicism is the style of the ancients, or the ancient Greeks and Romans, of which the Greek temple or the temple in general is considered the paradigm. Industrial Neoclassicism is a term coined by Peter Behrens to describe reduced and abstracted architecture, that became increasingly popular during the 19th and 20th centuries. Mies seems to have shared a passion for exploring how Industrial Neoclassicism could manifest itself better in modern buildings, a venture that Behrens, whom he worked with, had taken interest in himself. The combination of glass, steel and stone create dramatic contrasts and comparisons between the materials and the structures they create. The glass creates a sense of seamlessness while the stone seems to assert dominance. While glass and steel have been used extensively to ornament th...

The Gentleman's Duel - The Twelfth Night

Image
The Code Of Honor—A Duel in the Bois De Boulogne, Near Paris , wood-engraving after  Godefroy Durand ,  Harper's Weekly  (January 1875). Image from Wikipedia. The gentleman’s duel is an arrangement between two people where they engage in combat with matched weapons. This practice was particularly common during the 17th and 18th centuries, where the opponents faced each other in the event where one of the two parties had offended the other. The two parties would duel although it was most likely that both would survive in the end, as it was mostly considered a symbol of risking one’s life to restore honour to both parties. In The Twelfth Night, Viola, who is disguised as a man who goes by the name Cesario, has to face Sir Andrew in a duel, and before the duel Sir Toby Belch gives Sir Andrew advice by saying “so soon as ever thou seest him, draw; and, as thou drawest swear horrible; for it comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, ...

A Minor Inconvenience

Story time! Yesterday, I had to head to university for the training program I spoke about in one of my previous blog posts: Updates from the Past Year . If you don't want to read that, I am most definitely judging you, but I also will still give you a breakdown of the role because I'm not a jerk (and I also think you're kinda cool). I was admitted into this wonderful program at uni where we will be explaining pathways into university to Year 7 students that come from low socio-economic backgrounds. My role is called "Equity Ambassador" and we were asked to come in for a training session at university, and man did I get lost. It's not funny. I don't know about your experience with Google Maps, but if you're going like "oh no" in your head right now, yeah you know what I'm on about. Google Maps has this tendency to make you take the longest, most unnecessary routes ever, and my university is big enough for you to use Maps inside. It's s...
