I have just been to a David Helfgott concert here in Canberra. Most people would know of him through the movie Shine – which is about his life.
He was wearing this shirt tonight actually. He is a very talented pianist. His concert tonight has been a real inspiration for my workshop assignment. He played a bit of this and that, some Chopin we think, maybe some Liszt and his well loved Rachmaninov. We were not sure exactly what he was playing when, apparently he likes to mix things up a bit. He made us work to figure out what he was playing.
I just googled him and found this image -
This is an image of a 3 metre sculpture which was commissioned to honour Helfgotts’ life. It is by a Coffs Harbour artist named John Van Der Kolk. It is good reference material which relates to my own work.

I have some questions for everyone – If you are a graffiti artist even better!!! or if you know of one can you pass on these quick questions for me. I am just doing a little research as to what a few colours mean to you.
If you could leave me some answers. You don’t have to respond to every colour – which one stands out to you the most and why? What colour don’t you like? What do you associate with these colours? Give it some thought and I love anything fun and possibly ridiculous! oh, and you must answer the last question.
1. RED?
2. BLACK?
3. GREY?
4. PURPLE?
5. BLUE?
6. GREEN?
7. YELLOW?
8. ORANGE?
9. WHITE?
Last question – How often do you wear a hoodie? What do you think of hoodies?
I’d love to hear some responses – it will help me get awesome marks! k.
