Favorite piece of Aboriginal art work

Art work titled: Djang'kawu creation story 1959

Artist: Mawalan Marika, Wandjuk Marika, Mathaman Marika and Woreimo

This piece of art work is attractive by just direct looking at it. It is a barking painting painted with natural pigments and divided into eight sections. It's story is about a journey of two men and one pregnant woman  who traveled on a boat. When they saw creatures, they named them. Then they experienced big thunder storms but day stars guided them the way and sun dried them up. After that,

 they reached a destination and used dig-in sticks to plunge water. Finally they settled and the pregnant woman gave birth to their ancestors. I like this creation story not only because the artist used limited art tools but painted those massive and complex patterns but also the courageous journey story behind it. From my point of view, this journey story reflects to the hardship encountered by new immigrants. I also like their courage and intelligence to adapt to new environment.

Reflection on delicious bookmarking

Delicious bookmarking is a free book marking site for the public. It's useful for academic research. We can follow famous people who have delicious accounts, we can search links by the topic or by author's name. When we find a good article for our assignment topic, we can easily save the URL address and create tags and comments to identify the main points covered in the article for the later use. We are able to add or edit links easily and make the link private or public of our own interests. Therefore, delicious bookmark is useful for academic studies if several research links want to be saved for school assignments.

Delicious bookmark is also convenient for group works. By knowing the account name of the user, we can access and open his/her public links. Teachers can also access students' saved links marked public to ensure they are on the right track of selecting relevant articles for school projects.
