...pursue art as a lifestyle. Guérard travelled around the world from Dusseldorf to England, from England to Ballarat composing many landscape paintings and pencil sketches. In 1854, Guérard married Louise Arnz of Dusseldorf. For 16 years Eugene travelled throughout Australia and New Zealand before returning to Dusseldorf where Guérard died. When Eugene went to Dusseldorf he studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art one of the leading art schools in Europe. Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, a landscape artist, taught Guérard at the Academy. Schirmer encouraged his student’s to paint directly from nature; this is what sparked many of Eugene’s artworks. The Romantic movement arised during the 19th century, the emotions that overpowered order influences literature and art; including Guérard’s paintings. Eugene had a profound interest for the grandeur mystery of art and nature. Eugene followed the works of Alexander von Humboldt, a geographer and explorer who altered the way Eugene fabricated his art through Humboldt’s theories of nature. During Eugene’s time in Australia, he explored the vast landscapes and mining fields in hope to find gold. Many painting and sketches that are now in museums are based on his experiences in Australia. One of his most famous...

...to the status quo in any named community. Certain techniques, styles and structures are implemented by many famous artists in order to construct this art into a form that typifies them as artists and gives them their unique signature. (heghine666 2011) One specific artist has been largely famous for his controversial and unique forms of art, he is known by the alias “Banksy” who uses graffiti street art as a structure for his unique form of art. Banksy is arguably the most well-known street artist in the world. Some pieces of his urban graffiti art, with its distinctive stencil style, have been sold at auctions for remarkable amounts of money, but most importantly, he has inspired many people around the world for having pieces which touches upon sensitive and core social, political and economic situations in life that many people can easily relate to. His name, style, and brand of urban anti-war, anti-establishment, and rebellious art have earned him a place in the hearts of many who appreciates it. The two primary reasons that Banksy's street art stands out from the multitude of other graffiti we see every day is that, first and foremost, Banksy is a genuine artist and more importantly his art actually says something to us. (http://www.squidoo.com/banksy-girl-with-balloon) Banksy’s controversial art portrays symbols that often cannot be expressed in words, and exposes a message that can inspire an individual or an...

...When most people hear someone recognized as an artist they think of an elegant painter that has their work displayed in famous museums. Today I want to introduce an artist that is known for his brilliant work, yet not because they are displayed in museums, but rather on the view of their symbolic representations. Banksy is a British graffiti artist that has captured many hearts through his daring works on city walls, buildings, and landmarks. He has painted on structures all across the world including America, London, Australia, and many more. All the while, the most intriguing thing about Banksy is his decision and ability to remain completely anonymous. Banksy himself says, “If you want to say something and have people listen then you have to wear a mask”. After all the years Banksy has been painting he has yet been caught red handed....

...WHAT IS HIP HOP? By: Mohammed Al-Salem Hip Hop is a cultural movement that developed in New York in the 1970’s, primarily for the African-American and Latino population. Hip Hop consists of four elements; MCing, deejaying, graffiti art and breaking (b-boy/b-girl). The cultural pillars that Hip Hop is founded on are comedy, rivalry, nursery rhymes, storytelling, poetry, and rhyming tendencies in humans. Hip Hop was born in the South Bronx at a summer block party. The father of Hip Hop, DJ Clive “Kool Herc” Campbell is a Jamaican that built upon the Jamaican tradition of toasting. Toasting is rapping the impromptu poetry over music, with this tradition in mind DJ Kool Herc created the blueprint for Hip Hop music as he began to isolate the instrumental portion of the record, creating the break beat; an isolation of one particular section of a musical composition to have a vamp for an MC or b-boy/b-girl. He then added another turntable and bought two copies of the same record to elongate the break beat – this technique is the foundation of Hip Hop and eventually led to the deejaying styles of a pair of legendary deejays, Afrika Bambaataa and Grand Master Flash. Since the first rap record in 1979, “Rapper’s Delight” by Sugar Hill Gang, Hip Hop as a culture has grown immensely and is continuously spreading around the world influencing so many lives. However, before Hip Hop music even existed there were music genres like jazz, rhythm and blues, soul and funk that have...

...The nature of crime in Australian society is diverse and its occurrence fluctuates over time (Makkai & Prenzler, 2015). This essay will firstly discuss and define the concepts of crime and violence. Secondly, it will define violent crime from a contemporary Australian legal perspective. It will then examine the overall nature of crime in Australia describing its categories and sub categories. Fourthly, the essay will establish the official agencies who collect and collate data that measures the nature and extent of crime in Australia. It will finally use this data and empirical evidence to compare the extent of violent crime with crimes that are non-violent. The essay will ultimately conclude by asserting that the majority of crime in society is not violent in nature. Crime is a complex phenomenon that attracts a variety of definitions (Ransley & Prenzler, 2015). The varying definitions of crime provide broad or limited meanings and are all, to a greater or lesser degree, problematic. This is because crime is socially constructed; thus what is considered a crime, or no longer considered a crime changes over time to comply with the norms, attitudes and expectations existing in society at a given historical period (Brookman, 2005; Howitt, 2012). Violence is also a socially constructed concept that lacks a specific definition (Indermaur, 2000; Papalia, Thomas, Ching & Daffern, 2015), however, in the broadest sense, violence, is typically an action or type of behaviour that...

...history and rich heritage of the Victorian Parliament and the natural beauty of Australia’s wildlife at Healesville Sanctuary. However, a site that seems to reflect Melbourne’s status as one of the world’s great street art capitals and unique artistic expressions is Hosier Lane. Coming from a city with a booming street art movement- Bangkok, Thailand- I felt compelled to compare and reflect about the diverse range of street art and the related subcultures in Hosier Lane to the rising street art movement in Bangkok. The traditional definition of street art is usually unsanctioned visual art created in public locations. This particular term gained popularity due to the rise of graffiti artwork during the early 1980s. Nowadays, common art forms of modern street art can be sticker art, stencil graffiti, sculptures and posters. Often, these artworks are considered as the artist’s attempts to communicate their personal feelings or can be perceived as conveying thoughtful problems about society and its ever-shifting culture. Some artists have even garnered cult-followings throughout the media and worldwide attention due to their art that present aesthetic values and content relevant to society (Street Art-City of Melbourne). Common themes and messages found in street art can be political expressions, catalyst for change, and religion. Melbourne, the...

...performers on MTV, rappers receive the most attention for their ability to extend their ability to express their views in bold manners. Hip-hop has developed significantly since the end of the 1980’s when it was considered to be the CNN for black youth by Chuck D. It was inevitable for Hip-Hop to arise from the underground sound and become more commercialized at one point or another. However, whether this movement was a negative or positive phenomenon is argued about by many. Commercialization is usually the application of business in order to profit or to exploit. This method has remained one of the objectives of people in the hip-hop culture. Hip-hop gives people the opportunity to show their talent of rapping, break-dancing, DJing and graffiti to earn money and live what was considered an ideal lifestyle. The culture of Hip-Hop is entering the mainstream via the use of music and proper publicizing. A few people make it and become very successful and others do not succeed and ruin their reputation. Jay-Z is easily one of the most successful hip-hop artists having had a net worth of approximately $500 million in 2011. Jay-Z has sold around 40 million albums around the world and has received multiple Grammies as well as nominations. Sean ‘P.

...brands such as Givenchy and Kenzo to Benefit and TAG Heuer. LVMH Businesses LVMH is organised into six divisions, each division functions as an SBU (Strategic Business Unit) with its own General Manager and management team. Wines and Spirits LVMH is clearly the world leader in the wine and spirits business. LVMH have a dominant share of 50% built around exclusive brands such as Möet Chandon and Veuve Clicquot. It has also ventured outside the traditional wine belts in France and Italy to acquire high-end wine producers, California and Australia. Fashion and Leather Goods Much of the sales of this division are concentrated in the Asia, particularly Japan. The company had made important acquisitions in this area to fortify its presence. It houses brands such as Fendi, Givency and Donna Karan. Demand for Louis Vuitton products often exceeded supply, requiring customers to go on a waiting list for example, the introduction of the Graffiti line, was generating a waiting list that took over a year to fulfil. The company has been able to influence synergies across its fashion brands. For example, its Kenzo production facility had been transformed to offer men’s ready-to-wear products serving other brands such as Givenchy. Given the low profit margins in the ready-to-wear market, the combination of the above resulted in cost savings aimed to boost profitability. The Louis Vuitton label, combined with the strength of the LVMH group, afforded opportunities for expanding into...

...upset the balance between protection and freedom that exists in relation to racial speech, incentivising racial abuse by nationalist groups. Since its inception in 1975, the Racial Discrimination Act continues to govern every aspect of race relations. Binding through the Commonwealth of Australia, this act also remains enforceable under Chapter 2 of the Criminal Code (Section 6B of the Racial Discrimination Act). Under Section18, vilification is defined as the spiteful speech or any form of publication which “reasonably likely…to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people” (1a). As it stands, it must also correspondingly be perceived as being due to “race, colour or national or ethnic origin…” in the context of being likely to “offend, insult, humiliate, or intimidate”. Moreover, Section18C 23) establishes that this must be “communicated to the public…” or in “sight or hearing” of a public place (Commonwealth Parliament of Australia, 1975). Additionally, Victoria Legal Aid has published that Section18 has low-levelled social applications. As it stands, vilification could be regarded as racially biased reporting, the use of offensive racial stereotypes, graffiti, or publication of posters or stickers provided that it is observed in a public place (Victoria Legal Aid, 2015).Remarkably, the enactment of the provisions enlisted under Section18 has encouraged State legislation – every state now has anti-vilification laws (Right Now – Human Rights, 2012)...

...Hip hop (disambiguation). Graffiti of "hip hop" in Eugene, Oregon Hip hop is a form of musical expression and artistic subculture that originated in African-American and Hispanic-American communities during the 1970s in New York City, specifically the Bronx.[1][2][3] DJ Afrika Bambaataa outlined the four pillars of hip hop culture: MCing, DJing, B-boying and graffiti writing.[4][5][6][7] [8] Since its emergence in the South Bronx, hip hop culture has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the world.[9] Hip hop music first emerged with disc jockeys creating rhythmic beats by looping breaks (small portions of songs emphasizing a percussive pattern) on two turntables, more commonly referred to as sampling. This was later accompanied by "rap", a rhythmic style of chanting or poetry presented in 16 bar measures or time frames, and beatboxing, a vocal technique mainly used to imitate percussive elements of the music and various technical effects of hip hop DJ's. An original form of dancing and particular styles of dress arose among fans of this new music. These elements experienced considerable refinement and development over the course of the history of the culture. The relationship between graffiti and hip hop culture arises from the appearance of new and increasingly elaborate and pervasive forms of the practice in areas where other elements of hip hop were evolving as art forms, with a heavy overlap between those who wrote graffiti and those who practiced other...

...research looked at. There had been previously done focus groups by the tobacco industry about this subject because the industry had realized that the litter was bad for business. What they found was that people littered because it was so common place that they found it to be almost acceptable. Some people in the study even said that putting a cigarette out on the ground was “conscientious” because it “eliminated the risk of fires.” Others didn’t believe or acknowledge that there was an environmental concern in tossing the butt on sidewalks or streets (Smith and Novonty 2011).The act of littering a cigarette in California is punishable by a minimum fine of 100 dollars and at least 8 hours of community service, picking up litter or cleaning up graffiti(2014), yet there are so many cigarettes found on the sidewalk, streets, and mostly on the beaches. This is because the law is not as well enforced as it could be. If the government really wanted to eliminate the problem, it would be much more common place for people to be fined for the littering they do. How much is consumed and littered? In their research, Smith and Novotny found that, “As many as 5.6 trillion cigarettes” find their way into the environment each year (2011). These cigarettes come from the streets or landfills. People often don’t think much about leaving an individual cigarette on the ground, but they add up, and quickly. These cigarettes also tend to find their way to beaches and coasts through passage of storm drains...

...obsolete. With cell phones as an everyday commodity, phone booths are like antique inventions that are becoming eye sores all around every city in the world. Questions will be asked and answered in this paper. Can phone booths be revamped? Will they never be used again? Are they more trouble or able to be restructured? These questions will be answered and a lot more information will be given out in the process. Product Assessment A telephone booth, telephone kiosk, telephone call box, telephone box or public call box is a small structure furnished with a payphone and designed for a telephone user's convenience. In the USA and Canada, "telephone booth" is used, while in the Commonwealth of Nations (particularly the United Kingdom and Australia) it is a telephone box or phone box. Such a booth usually has lighting, a door to provide privacy, and windows to let others know if the booth is in use. The booth may be furnished with a printed directory of local telephone numbers, and a booth in a formal setting, such as a hotel, may be furnished with paper and pen and even a seat. An outdoor booth may be made of metal and plastic to withstand the elements and heavy use, while an indoor booth (once known as a silence cabinet) may have more elaborate architecture and furnishings. Most outdoor booths feature the name and logo of the telephone service provider. This innovative invention popularity is diminishing around the world and are obsolete products.
