Laurie Nelson Mungatopi b c1923
Bob One Apuatimi 1925-76
Jack Yarunga c1910-73
Don Burakmadju 1925-95
Charlie Quiet Kwangdini b c1905

Tiwi,North region, Melville Island

Tutini(Pukumani grave posts)
1958
Natural pigments on ironwood
Gift of Dr. Stuart Scougall 1959


On the excursion of NSW Art Gallery, I observed this outstanding art of one of the Tiwi artist at Milikapati. Pukumani poles have great spiritual significance within Tiwi cultures, They use this poles as part of their commemorative ceremony. They design this poles as characterized of the deceased person's life, and the number and size of the poles indicated their status. The family member assign men that is not closely affiliated to the deceased to engrave the poles and supply food for the carvers during their period of work. This amazing work of art from Tiwi Island attracted me because how they sculpted and painted them with a mixture of ochres and coloured synthentic pigments. Which I think it is an extra-ordinary work that every design represent each of them.

Three ways Twitter is used in academic studies 


I find this Twitter amusing because of its several purposes not only for my personal use but also it is helpful in academic studies. I believe that this is another advance way for me to communicate effectively and for me to have easy access to the professional group and any department. The first academic purpose of using Twitter is a practical way for me doing my research projects by giving me much chance to acquire more sources to my homework. Twitter has this page to help called “crowdsource” where I can find an enormous interesting academic topic that I can get help to gather information, to edit and help me to analyze my paperwork. In addition, I can tweet my new searching materials to help my classmates.  Second Twitter is beneficial to the student to be updated in many large departments in university whatever events, seminars, and lectures that I am interested in attending. By using Twitter, I can have an opportunity to communicate with  Ph.D. students and other researchers. Lastly, I can use Twitter cooperation with blogging I learned that I could have access to many author blogs who update their blogs regularly. I can follow them to read their blogs and use it to my study.

Email protocols in academic study


Email protocol in academic study

Learning email protocols for academic use is significantly necessary. It is beneficial to students and teachers. The first purpose is for students to present their task in a well-organised manner. Following all these features will make student and teachers do their roles efficiently. For example, providing an appropriate subject line for an email before sending the task makes it easier for teachers to find the emailed task. Additionally, using footers and writing the student's name and date prevents giving feedback to the wrong person. Moreover,  teachers who are receiving numerous emails find it is simple to locate them an appropriate and informative subject line is used. Writing a clear and concise message is important to prevent the reader from misunderstanding the message.  Some students forget where they saved their file. By writing the file path on the footer, the student can recall where the document is located. Putting pages on the paper is also useful for the teacher to know where to start to read the document. Sending a group email is useful if the sender would like to send a similar message to a couple of students. However, make sure to use a blind copy to maintain the privacy of each receiver.  To protect all the information and file in students computer make sure to create a secure password as well as use a verification if necessary, there are some ways to verify the user using SMS, voice call or random number generator. Backing up emails is very practical to assure that students have another copy of all files. Moreover, the second objective of learning the academic email protocol is to practise the students,  to act and respond in a professional manner. Suitable address such as Mr. and Mrs. should be used if needed, and writing the correct spelling of the teacher's name will give a professional impression of the student.
