James “Jumbo” Elliott Villanova University is not only home to the Wildcats, but also home to many remarkable works of art. An example of such a work is Caesar Rufo’s sculpture of James “Jumbo” Elliott. In analyzing this work I will illustrate how this work clearly identifies who James Elliot was and how his legacy at Villanova University is celebrated. In order to accomplish this task, I will examine how exactly the physical characteristics of the sculpture relates to James Elliott’s historical background. Caesar Rufo’s sculpture of James “Jumbo” Elliott is currently located outside the field house of Jake Nevin and the Butler Annex.

Discuss the relative importance of physical and human factors in accounting for the changes to vegetation over time within ecosystems in the British Isles. With a temperate climate in the Northern Hemisphere, the British Isles bears a variety of trees and successions of plants, including deciduous trees. The main ecosystem of the country is made up from forest and lake biomes alongside heathlands and moorlands such as heather moorland. The changes to the vegetation over time can be affected by both physical and human factors which in some cases occur together or in causation of one another. Physical changes include; changes in climate, succession, disease and natural disasters.
This adds to the feeling that there is more to the seen that even what the artist has sculpted. The sculpture of Donatello’s David from the early renaissance period however was somewhat different. Donatello drew influence from multiple sources, Greek and Roman statuary mix with his own style for a unique take on the subject David. Although sculpted in classic contrapposto as we would likely

The repetition of the words ‘And God said’, ‘And it was so’, ‘And God saw it was good’ show that God is a craftsman who was very much aware of what he was creating; it is said that this God is omnipotent. These quotes also show that God takes pride in his work as he says ‘It was good’. This is extremely different to the concept of the Prime Mover as he did not create the world he simply started the chain of causes that caused its existence which means the Prime Mover cannot be called a craftsman as he simply caused the cause and effect chain. The Prime Mover is again different to God as a Craftsman as he s transcendent and does not interact with the universe unlike the craftsman which is described as all loving and interacts with his creation. There is evidence of this within the Bible when God causes miracles however there is also evidence of this in the natural world as when God causes natural disasters, he is interacting with his creation.
Art Essay When applying the conceptual framework to art and art making; one considers the relationship between the artist, the artwork, their audience and their world. This essay, more specifically, focuses on a relationship between artist, artwork and their world. Rosemary Laing and Ricky Swallow both explore interpretations of a sense of time or timelessness in the world around them through their methodologically unrelated yet conceptually paralleled bodies of work. Chronologically following the evolution of the works of Ricky Swallow, one might begin to doubt the authenticity of the claims that all were created by the same hands. In the late 20th century and early 21st, Swallow seems unable to focus on one particular medium, or set of
Laocoön and his sons This essay will examine the famous sculpture Laocoön and his sons by the Rhodes sculptors Anthanadorus, Hagesandros and Polydorus. It will draw on relevant art-historical and critical literature to give an accurate description. Firstly the essay will execute an analysis of the work’s formal properties and detail its content and meaning then charactering it within the art historical context. This will aim to give greater insight into the group sculpture. The formal properties carefully planned and executed by the sculptors create the physicality of great Laocoön and his sons.
After reading “The Gebusi: Lives Transformed in a Rainforest World” by Bruce Knauft, I noticed many changes that occurred from his first experience in 1982 with the second time he went to study in 1998. Although the time significantly changed, so did the world. Market economies were introduced, transnational influences were apparent, and there were national agendas. These changes affected traditional life and some were introduced to have a better life. The next major change that I noticed was that time used to be relevant to them, and now it is more significant.
this. Special beliefs that they held about the creation of people were: “the only thing that the world lacked was a symbol of God”, “Seeing this, Prometheus sculpted a figure, man, out of earth.”, and “This figure was to symbolize the gods, thus human life is formed” (“Roman Creation Myth”). As evident from the quotes, one can see that the Romans’ beliefs were quite odd from what a human living in the present day would believe in. These beliefs are ‘special’ to a present-day human as the Romans created these myths based strictly off of their imagination. In the current age, one would not need to create their own stories because we now have correct information because of the scientific knowledge that is currently present.
