A: My best piece of creative work before coming to this course

This is a pen on thick paper (I'm not sure what the material is called) 260x950mm work (1 out of 3) I made for a high school project in 2011. The subject matter was to be titled "Victim". Although it is actually unfinished, I think it is the best creative work I have created.

B: great piece of architecture: Le Mont Saint-Michel

The Mont Saint-Michel is an island commune in Normandy, France. The architectural piece is grand in size, covering 100 ha. Its structural composition exemplifies the feudal society which created it. During its time as an abbey, a high contrast difference between low and high tides was taken advantage of as a defence against assailants, as the tide stranded or drowned them. In the 16th century, this natural defence was utilised in a different way as Louis XI turned the Mont Saint-Michel into a state prison. The architectural piece's grand size and rich history makes it, in my opinion, a truly awesome piece of architecture.

C: Original photograph of something beautiful: Sunrise in Jindabyne, Australia


I took this photograph early in the morning, during a high school camp to Jindabyne in 2008. Kangaroos were sleepily hopping around, one of which can be seen in the bottom right of the picture. Upon seeing the sunrise from our cabin, my friend and I decided to take a walk outside and take some pictures. Although it probably has a few aesthetic issues as a photograph, I'd say this is one of the best photos I've taken.
