The issue of not changing Australia day can be very sensitive to indigenous people The date suggestion of moving Australia day to another date is 1st of January, 25th of April (Anzac day) or the 1st of September (wattle day). The solution that Smith proposed was January 26th is a date that’s orientated towards when we gained our independence from British rule or perhaps a date bases on when Mathew Flinders when he first used the word ‘Australia’.

The painting depicts what seems to be a panoramic view from afar but looking closely each aperture and objects make up the impressions of faces. From the left side there seems to be an aperture looking over a big cliff with branches of trees. This cliff and branches make up the face of an old person. The rock exposures within the cliff form the illusions of wrinkles, wrinkly lips and a long and untreated mustache. The branches give the effect of baldness, contributing to the overall appearance of an old man’s face.

For a secondary source, I chose History of Modern Art: Painting, Sculpture, Architecture by H. H. Arnason and Elizabeth Mansfield. I chose this source after looking at a few books because it contains information on a wide variety of artistic movements and puts Surrealism into the context of the history of events that took place. The authors of this source gives readers a full history of surrealism, invokes deeper thought in readers of René Magritte’s life and art, specifically The Treachery of Images, and provides details and explanations that help connect the dots between this and the primary source. Surrealism brought together a group of alienated individuals in response to World War I. Surrealist artists believed that they could not belong to a society that went into the war without thought and resulted in millions of deaths. These artists used Freud’s theories “to explain––maybe even cure–– human aggression and deviance.”

Celebrating Australia day is like holding a party without inviting the hosts. While many Australians celebrate this holiday, they have little knowledge behind the events that occurred and why it is celebrated. If I’m honest, I haven’t been brought up, like many of my generation, to understand and acknowledge the events which occurred on this day. Instead for as long as I can remember I have seen the day as a public holiday where mum drags us to a boring family gathering, to play backyard cricket and observe the adults consume excessive amounts of alcoholic beverages. According to a poll conducted by Review Partners, much of the Australian population are unable to accurately name the event
