We saw a couple of Jacarandas trees at the Bundanon Trust.

We found out that Jacarandas Trees are native to Brazil, but it seems no one knows who the first person was to carry these trees or tree seeds to Australia.

我們在班達農信託的田野看到好幾棵藍花楹，發現藍花楹原自於巴西，而非澳洲特有種。經過網路的資料收尋，發現到目前為止，並不清楚是誰把藍花楹帶來澳洲。

文曦摹寫石頭,她想到如何使用中國傳統的斧劈皴，來呈現石頭的質感。

同時，文曦也在思考如何擺設她的繪畫作品。

Wen-Hsi was inspired by the trees close to our accommodation.

文曦受到我們住宿附近的樹木的啟發。

She decided to use some sticks as hangers for her Chinese paper drawings.

故她決定利用撿到的樹枝來吊掛她的陶土繪畫。

馬丁摹寫在我們住宿附近的房子。

他正在思考是否需要上其他顏色在房子表面。他想要利用房子來傳達靜止的存在感。

Here is the image of the house （Musicians cottage at the Bundanon Trust) that inspired Martin to create his house drawing.

那房子是專門給音樂工作者在班達農信託駐村的空間，也是帶給馬丁靈感的地方。

我們正在著手進行大尺寸的陶土繪畫。

Today we were thinking about our project theme: cross-cultural identity through clay drawings.  It has been challenging to transfer this aspect into our drawing. Therefore we have been focusing on recognizable images such as the outline of the UK, Australia, and Taiwan. We also decided to draw an Australian house from Bundanon Trust. However, we have also been wondering what other imagery can be used to represent all three identities.

今天我們重新思考我們駐村計畫：從陶土繪畫中來思考跨文化的認同。

這真是一個極具挑戰的計畫，尤其是該如何轉化這個概念並且表現在繪畫藝術中。

目前我們先繪製一些識別度比較高的圖像，例如：英國，澳洲，臺灣的地圖輪廓線以及班達濃信託駐村的房子。我們也還在思考，有哪些影像，可以代表這三個國家的文化身份認同。

Wen-Hsi is also wondering if she needs to add more watercolour to the drawing. At the same time, she is thinking about our central theme relating to Clay Drawing. However, we discovered adding other media such as pen and watercolour creates some very interesting results.

文曦還在思考，她的陶土繪畫是否要加上其他顏色的水彩，同時她也想保留陶土繪畫的中心思想。然而我們也發現加入其他媒材到陶土繪畫上，確實讓繪畫變得更加有趣多元。
