Name: Tutor: Course: Date: The works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt and Japanese influence on European art 1. In drawing a comparison and contrast between the works of Vincent van Gogh and sol LeWitt, Vincent van Gogh’s application of symbolic colors and paint to express subjective emotion have created the basis of defining abstract expressionism, which started with the Americans after the World War II movement of art creation and presentation. LeWitt’s work, on the other hand, has been used as a basis for the use of traditional art materials during the creation of artworks. However, his use of traditional art materials had been improved, to involve the use of digital technology and computers to create and edit these materials. Some
It is evident that Kang views history as a process of change over a specified period of time as she divides up the book into two distinct sections entitled “Change by Choice,” and “Change by Coercion.” The first refers to the fact that the Koreans were given the opportunity to not behave inappropriately in the eyes of Japanese authority, and modernize themselves in accordance with a modern Japanese society. Kang focuses on the “personal choice” element that many Koreans were given when the Japanese began deregulating some businesses and hiring Koreans into government positions following the March First Movement in 1919. Several experiences are recorded which mirror Kang’s realization that, “under the shade cast by the Japanese presence, some people, some of the time, led close to normal lives.” In the later, Kang introduces the second element of colonial Korea, “Change by Coercion.” Kang outlines a more repressive part of the Japanese occupation, and Korean life when government agencies ushered in tighter politics, economics, and thought control.
Military leaders finally complained that sending and receiving these codes required hours of encryption and decryption—up to two and a half hours for a single message. They rightly argued the military needed a better way to communicate. When Phillip Johnston, a citizen living in California learned of the crisis, he had the answer. Johnston had grown up on the Navajo reservation and was one of less than 30 outsiders fluent in the language. He realized that since it had no alphabet and was almost impossible to master without early exposure, the Navajo language had potential as an indecipherable code.

[viii] Confucianism and Taoism had limited influence on Shinto, only shaping small aspects that already existed, such as the importance of family and rituals. [ix] Buddhism however had a larger impact on Shinto, namely on the belief of life after death and the worship of many deities. [x] Shinto has been closely associated with Buddhism for centuries and they share many temples and rituals. [xi] There was a time when Buddhism overshadowed Shinto that lasted nearly 1500 years. [xii] Today, around seventy percent of the Japanese population consider themselves to follow Shinto; however, forty-five percent of these people also claim to follow Buddhism.
Civilization in China coalesced around 1500 B.C. Chinese civilization emerged gradually out of Neolithic farming and potterymaking cultures that had long been present in the Yellow River region of East Asia. The establishment of the Shang kingdom at this point in time gave political expression to a combination of civilizing trends. The appearance of a distinctive and increasingly specialized elite supported by the peasant majority of the Chinese people, the growth of towns and the first cities, the spread of trade, and the formulation of a written language all indicated that a major civilization was emerging in China. Describe the topography of Japan and explain what the northern mountain ranges provided for
Because one of Korea’s first religions was Buddhism, most of the traditional music in Korea embrace the concept of Buddhism. Traditional music and folk music consist of various instruments, such as the “kayagum, a 12-string zither, yanggum, a Korean-style dulcimer, baegum, a two-string fiddle without a fingerboard, piri, a cylindrical oboe, and changgo, an hourglass drum” (Culture, 1993). Baek-Il is celebrated to give thanks to Samshin and to pray for wealth, longevity, and original luck. Along with Baek-Il came my first birthday, dol. On this day again, I was acquainted with some traditional music as well as traditional, celebration songs.
One theory discussed, is that Egyptians were able to cross over due to some inscriptions and language similarities that were found between the two civilizations. Another theory is that the Japanese may have made it over to the Americas via the Japanese current or even Hawaii. Apparently some Japanese pottery and armor strongly resembled the Ecuadoreans pottery and Tlingit armor. The author then lightly touches on some creation myths and even some agriculture information. The author doesn’t spend much time in this section and doesn’t go into much detail.
The changes are as follows: The Showa Constitution replaced Meiji Constitution after Second World War which promoted the democratization of Japanese politics. The emperor had supreme status and divine rights according to Meiji Constitution. However, under the post-war Showa Constitution, the emperor becomes only a symbol of the state. In addition, the legislative, executive and judicial powers (before the war)were vested in the emperor but after the war such powers were transferred to the Diet, the cabinets and courts. The post-war local administrative reforms mainly strengthen the local autonomy including the expansion of district autonomy, jurisdiction of local assembles, the public election system of Chief district executive officers and enhancement of residents’ right in political participation.
