Posted by dean in news + events.add a comment
The Picasso exhibition has arrived at NGV Melbourne 30 June to 8 October 2006
and it’s a great opportunity to take a look at the art practice of both Picassso and his muse of the period, photographer Dora Maar. Mixing photography, painting and sketches, this exhibition provides an insight into the inspiration, planning and production of one of Picasso’s most famous paintings “Guernica”.
I have just seen the exhibition and I was so impressed by the high quality of the work exhibited by both artitsts. I highly recommend this exhibition for anyone with even a slightest interest in modern art. Afterall, Picasso is arguably the shining light of modernism. Check out the website below for details. It includes an Education Resource that’s chock full of info that will provide you with a solid background on the artists and the work on show.

Free Flash Tutrorials for You!
Now this FLASH TUTORIAL for MAC absolutley ROCKS! It provides a flash movie to show you exactly what to do.
http://maclab.guhsd.net/flash/intro.html#
I suggest you start with a simple flash tutorial such as “motion tween” or a “shape tween”, just to get the hang of the application. After that, move on to the bouncing ball tutorial, how to make a guided path, etc. The more tutorials you master, the better you get at FLASH.
NOTE: If you are working on a mac, you can hold down the option key when you click on a highlighted tutorial link and it will download the tutorial to your desktop as a quicktime movie for you to watch at your leasuire, or you can save them for watching later. For you guys with PC’s, I think you may be able to right click to download.
