"Things that are done out of love are always placed beyond good and evil"
- Friedrich Nietzsche
The art should not be a popularity contest, it is something that is done out of heart, for the sake of creation. As the contest is open themed, with this contest we would like to invite the traditional community to create something for themselves, and share it with the rest of the DA population.
Many of us create to get those things hidden within us out, to get the voices inside us to shut up at least for a while, so we can focus and keep sane. Artists don’t create by choice, they have to, they have things to say, to express, to scream on top of their lungs, creation is like the breathing for them, one of things that keep them alive, that keep them going, that give them hope, as well help them resolve things.

In response to my poll about schooling
I thought the best to respond to everyone in the poll is one journal so I would not repeat myself. This is to answer all the comments under the poll I have posted, as well to explain why the poll was posted. I am sorry I didnt get to this sooner I could not as I am incredibly busy.
Nevertheless it is to say that I am hugely disappointed with Australia's public school system. That is why I have decided to transfer my child for year 6 and high school after it to Catholic school next to us. I was thinking long and hard about it and here it is why:
- My daughter is grade 5 now, and she does not have basics down. She has trouble with spellin
Art That Stirred Me 7
I examine other peoples work, try to learn from it. I get seduced by their thoughts, their brush strokes, their inner conversations while creating. I get captured by their emotions screaming and yelling from their creation. I might prefer the human figure and face, but that is because I love how expressive, fragile and different human body can be. I prefer raw emotion. I like the range of emotions one can have. All the works below have stirred me in some way. I love them all.

BITCH WHINGE WHINE call it what you want!
What a day! I hate when people make oversexualize kids. I mean besides going to shops and being able to find padded bras for 4 year olds today shocked me to no end.
We went as a family to pool today. Pretty much all in tow, husband, 3 kids (11 year old, 2 year old and 10 month old). My husband even woke up for occasion, which is weird because he values his sleep more than anything. We decided to go to swimming pool like normal family and do something fun for the kids. My 11 year old has nice purple single piece bathers and my 2 year old and 10 month old have matching blue and white stripped bottoms. So we paid entrance, (14.50$ + 2.50$ fo
Art That Stirred Me 6
I guess its time to kick my butt and get another feature done. I had very rough couple months and needed to put myself together. Between potty training my two year old, studying for NAPLAN tests with my 11 year old and tending to 10 month old, I have revamped my study I share with my husband, made new desks out of doors, put shelves in, name it - it got done. I have pretty bussy life. I get up around 4:30-5am and keep running like wild woman with kids grabbing my legs till they are in never land by 7pm. I wipe ones behind, breast feed another one, chase after third one not wanting to do her math, schedule dermatologist appointments for 2
