=**ACTIVITY 1 Postcards**= "Postcards were the e-mails of the Edwardian era. During their heyday, between 1901 and 1915, people exchanged several messages a day. It was a time before the telephone was widespread and everyday communication relied on postcards……there were four [postal] deliveries a day in capital cities and two deliveries in the suburbs; you could send a message in the morning and know it would arrive that same day. You could receive a response by the afternoon post." ("Penny for Your Thoughts", THE AGE, 3/8/02). ||
 * An important form of "picture" at the turn of the century was the postcard.Often important buildings, gardens, monuments and popular performers were the subject of postcards. In a recent article in the Age newspaper they were described like this:

The following excerpt describes Sam taking in his surroundings just after he first ‘arrives’ in Melbourne in 1900. Could this be a passge that could inspire a postcard (image and message? //"Sam felt like he was dreaming as he stood staring at the scene around him. The smell of hay, cabbage and horses was thick in the hot morning air. All around were women in bonnets and long skirts that swept the ground, creating little flurries of dust as they walked. Men with bushy moustaches were loading boxes of fruit and vegetables onto their wagons. A Chinese man in weird clothes and with a long black plait hanging down his back angled past them, a pole and two baskets balanced across his shoulders. Voices rang out from every direction and the clatter of carts and horses’ hooves filled the air".p. 52//

=  = =ACTIVITY 2= =The Heidelberg School= The Heidelberg School, also commonly Heidelberg Art School , was an Australian art movement of the late 19th century. The movement originated in July 1891, when art critic, Sidney Dickinson wrote a review of the exhibitions of works by Walter Withers and Arthur Streeton. Dickinson noted that these artists, whose works were mostly painted in the Heidelberg area, could be considered as "The Heidelberg School". Since that time, The Heidelberg School has taken on a wider meaning and covers Australian artists of the late nineteenth century who painted in the open air in the impressionist tradition. These artists were inspired by the beautiful landscapes and of and the unique light that typifies the Australian bush. The School's artists were influenced by the international Impressionist movement, and took up many of the concepts of the group. They  ·  regularly painted landscapes  ·  used art to depict daily life  · <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> showed a keen interest in the instantaneous effects of lighting <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol; mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="msofareastfontfamily: Symbol; msolist: Ignore; msobidifontfamily: Symbol; msoansilanguage: EN;">· <span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; color: black; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;"> experimented with a variety of brushstroke techniques McCubbin in particular used the small, contrasting blocks of strong colour that were a trademark of some Impressionist work. However, these artists should not be viewed as merely copying an international trend. Works of the Heidelberg school are generally viewed as some of the first Western art to realistically and sensitively depict the Australian landscape as it actually exists. Many earlier works look like European scenes and do not reflect the harsh sunlight, earthier colours, and distinctive vegetation of the land they **painted.**
