Weekend Journal #15

On Saturday I watched the rugby game with my dad other than that I did nothing else much . On Sunday as mum's work friend was coming over I cleaned the house with my sister. At around 5 mum and her friend came home and we had some fun. Mum's friend is staying until Wednesday so this week should be fun since she is a really cheerful lady.

Weekend Journal #13

On Saturday I was in town all day. I did some shopping but it was really boring since we had to wait for mum to finish work so I walked around town for most of the time I was there while my dad and sister sat in the car. After mum finished work we went the hospital because mum had to get her ear checked. Once that was finished we went to dad's friend's house near Hokitika. We got home at around 11. On Sunday we stayed at home and watched a Nepali movie other than that we didn't do much.

'On the Wallaby Track' Artwork Response

On the Wallaby Track Response
On the Wallaby Track, created in 1896, by Frederick McCubbin is a realistic oil painting set in the bush. In the painting there is a family of three that look as though they are struggling. The family is surrounded by tree that look old but still healthy. In the background sunlight and bright colours can be seen but in the foreground and middle ground only dull colours have been used. The foreground consist of a women holding a tried and hungry looking child while leaning against tree, with a worried expression.

On the Wallaby Track is an intriguing piece of art that makes viewers think about the before and after of the family’s struggles.

The colours used in this artwork change the mood. The oranges and pinks in the background of this artwork resemble a sunrise or sunset; I think they lighten the mood and represent hope in the family’s life. The colours used in the foreground of this artwork darken the mood and make the artworks mood have more depth.

The first time I viewed this artwork I thought that the family was camping because of the blue tent in the background behind the bush. After viewing this artwork a second time, the family looks like they plan to stay longer because they don’t look happy and their clothes look tattered. The family look like they have had a big eventful week and they have been through rough times.


Overall On the Wallaby Track is a detailed piece of  art that has a deep meaning and story to tell. I recommend for everyone to visit http://www.the-athenaeum.org/ to view more of Frederick McCubbin’s amazing artwork.

Weekend Journal #12

On Saturday Mum, Krystal and I went to a party at one of my mum's work friend's house. Since it was in town we also did some shopping. On Sunday I didn't do much, just stayed at home and played games with Krystal. On Monday I didn't so much either. The highlight of my weekend was Saturday because it was the most eventful day of my weekend.
