21.01.2022 Sisters Harriet and Helena Scott were probably the premier natural history illustrators working in NSW Australia in the last half of the 19th century. Their detailed illustrations of Australian moths and butterflies are just as relevant today.

18.01.2022 Interesting ... "Coding will be compulsory for primary school children, while students in years 7 and 8 will be required to learn a coding language under new science and technology syllabuses to be introduced to NSW schools next year."

17.01.2022 Natural history illustration has long been an effective way of conveying the culture of a particular time and place. Joseph Lycett (c.17751828) was an English convict artist who was sent to Australia for forgery and served time in Newcastle NSW. While others were sentenced to hard labour, Lycett’s duties involved painting the scenes of everyday life in the new colony. His detailed watercolours offer a rare glimpse of Aboriginal culture at the time; the ways Indigenous people hunted and gathered food, their customs and social hierarchy. #australianhistory #localhistory #HSIE #creativearts #wallythree

16.01.2022 "This digital tool brings significant historical information out of the depths of archives, bringing it to life in an accessible and visual format." The map is the result of four years of work funded by an Australian Research Council grant investigating violence on the Australian Colonial Frontier, 1788-1960. It is expected to become a tool for students, academics and members of the public. View the map here: https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/map.php

11.01.2022 Looking at stock animations we can use as inspiration to play around with creating the audio to accompany the visuals and this captured our attention, so mesmerising! We're looking at different video and audio software, particularly focused on beginners and easy use for kids to learn. Wanting to create short animations with audio as a little project to expolre. Let the fun begin!
