Activity: This book also describes the use of huskies in 1908. These animals were from the Northern Hemisphere but were introduced to aid the explorers in their travels. See the article about huskies on the Australian Government (Australian Antarctic Division) website, ):

‘The 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty banned all introduced species, except humans, from being taken into the Antarctic. It was with a great deal of sadness that in 1993 the last remaining huskies left Mawson and the Australian Antarctic Territory. The older dogs are living out their days in Australia, the younger, working dogs are enjoying a new life in Minnesota, USA.’

VISUAL LITERACY

The visual text of a book works with the written text to tell the story using the various parts of the book’s design and illustrations, as explored below:

Activity: The cover of this book is an important part of its message. What does the cover image suggest about Mawson? Examine his portrait – he is very much in the foreground and holds the reader’s eye with a penetrating gaze. The cover also comprises a white landscape and wreckage on the back cover. Discuss the design and then create your own cover for this book.

Activity: Design your own endpapers using a chosen image in the book as a pattern. For example, the images of sea creatures (p. 19) would make an excellent pattern repeated on an endpaper.

Activity: The title page is a portrait of Mawson dressed in cold weather headdress. Compare this to the image of him on the first page of the book without such headgear. What are the different impressions that the two portraits give you of the man? Create another possible cover image for this book.

Discussion Point: The format of the book is portrait (260w x 280h). The layout of the storyboard is varied with illustrations sometimes spread across opposite pages, and sometimes with text and illustrations on the same page. Why do artists vary format in this way?

Discussion Point: Colours used are generally from the white, blue or grey palettes with only a few scenes containing other colours e.g. the bloodied carcass of the seal being pecked at by the scavenging birds. How does colour convey meaning in this book?

Discussion Point: Discuss with students how paintings require planning, how an image is ‘worked up’ from these initial ideas, and how artists might also use photographs, drawings and drafts in conceiving a finished artwork.

Activity: The medium or style employed is largely the photo realistic style for which Peter Gouldthorpe is renowned. Create an image in this style.

Activity: Throughout the book he also includes small black and white drawings which use a technique called crosshatching (e.g. p. 28). Discuss this with your students and then create a picture inspired by the book using this technique.

Activity: Gouldthorpe uses many techniques, formats and mediums in his other books. Study them as well.

• Research the work of Peter Gouldthorpe. Compare this book to other works he has illustrated such as First Light (written by Gary Crew, Lothian, 1995), The Lost Diamonds of Killiecrankie (written by Gary Crew, Lothian, 1995), Hist (written by CJ Dennis, Walter McVitty Books, 1991), Grandad’s Gifts (written by Paul Jennings, Puffin, 1994), Norton’s Hut (written by John Marsden, Lothian, 1998), The Wonder Thing (written by Libby Hathorn, Puffin, 1998), Pannikin and Pinta (written by Colin Thiele, Lothian, 2000), Queenie: One Elephant’s Story (written by Corinne Fenton, Black Dog Books, 2006), and to works he has written as well as illustrated such as Jonah and the Manly Ferry (Methuen, 1986). • The Australian Antarctic Division has an Arts Fellowship Program () which supports Australian artists visiting the Antarctic to create work. Follow the links below to find out what these artists made of their experiences and to encourage your students to create art or narratives in response. Your class might also create a story based on what they learn about Antarctica. o Writer Hazel Edwards describes the effect on her work when she was recipient in 2000/1 and the many works she created from the experience (). o Writer and illustrator Alison Lester (2004/5) created an exhibition of Australian children’s art based on the account she wrote in a blog while on board the Aurora Australis (). See also Alison Lester’s Kids Antarctic Art Project (). This is a fantastic concept and your class could have lots of fun creating an exhibition like this one. o YA fiction writer Anthony Eaton (2005/6) wrote In White Silence (Woolshed/RHA, 2008) as a response to his journey (). In this YA novel he imagined a writer being a participant in a contemporary expedition and finding the diary of someone in the past. Your students might create their own diaries. • Apart from reading Mawson’s diaries, students may wish to also read the diaries of a young geologist named Frank Leslie Stillwell who joined the 1911 expedition. His diary was uncovered by an academic researcher and published in Still No Mawson: Frank Stillwell’s Antarctic Diaries 1911-13 (Australian Academy of Science, 2012). Frank’s diary offers further insights into the journey as it was seen by a younger member of the party. There is also a diary by Stanley Gordon Roberts Taylor who was a fireman and stoker aboard theAurora (). • Use Antarctica as a theme for a class project. Organise a display of books about the area, and display the students’ written and visual responses to the research they do. • Photographs offer a wonderful insight into such places. For example, acclaimed Australian photographer Frank Hurley’s (1885-1962) glorious photographs of Antarctica can be found in the National Library of Australia’s online catalogue (). His biography tells us that:

‘In 1911 (Sir) Douglas Mawson invited Hurley to be official photographer on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition. From December 1911 to March 1913 Hurley worked enthusiastically under arduous conditions, taking both still photographs and movie film, and his high spirits made him a popular and valued member of the team. Back in Sydney he rapidly assembled his movie footage and successfully presented it to the public in August as Home of the Blizzard. In November, after a brief filming trip to Java, Hurley joined another expedition to Antarctica to relieve the Copyright © 2013 stranded Mawson.’ Hurley’s fame grew rapidly ... In October 1914 he joined Sir Ernest Shackleton in yet another Antarctic expedition and produced his most famous still photographs – a series showing the ship Endurance, being gradually destroyed by pack-ice, and the heroic struggle for survival of Shackleton’s men.
