I’ll be blogging sporadically this week, seeing how I’m at the University of Nottingham campus in KL for the World Rock-art course. It’s an intensive, 5-day course that started yesterday (Sunday) all the way to Thursday, covering theories and methodologies about rock art in all its forms – directly relevant to my field of study. In fact, the course will end with a field trip to Gua Tambun, my research site.
Paul Taçon, whom I met last year at a conference, is fronting most of the sessions for the week – he’s got a wealth of experience researching rock art in Australia. He’s in the news earlier this year for discovering a spectacular find of contact rock art in Arnhem Land in northern Australia; his colleague Sally May is also present for the course, and I’m looking forward to discussing the use of photoshop and other digital tools to enhance degraded rock paintings later on this week.
