Explain how your chosen mentor artist’s conceptual and material practise links to your body of workExplain how your chosen mentor artist’s conceptual and material practise links to your body of work My chosen mentor artists Edvard Munch and Kathe Kollwitzboth have a strong impact on my conceptual and material practice. Munch’s conceptual intention of finding purpose in life by creating artworks that explore life and death, loss, sickness and pain has made a big impact on my Body of Work. His material practise contains distortion of space would be a great way to present my ideas and also his use of aggressive brush techniques interest me and have become an essential part of my body of work idea. His most famous artwork and the one that has influenced me the most was The Scream, 1893 and I have also adopted ideas from his painting Vampire, 1893-1894. Similarly, Kollwitz’s theme of adversity and its effects on people have also inspired me.

The postmodern frame, where the artist in contemporary times uses the non-conventional, the appropriated to present art, meaningful to a technologically sophisticated audience. Mandy Martin’s Salvadoresque uses all the frames to convey her message. Martin focuses on the association between the environment and human beings. Her artworks mainly consist of destructed landscapes and are abstract. Martin’s artwork, Salvadoresque, is subjective and cultural because of she projects her emotions and personal experiences through her artwork.
Their work was appreciated as a beauty of ancient photography. Further information was introduced about Alfred Stieglitz as one of the best pictorialists (from reading articles in reference 4 and 7). New spirit of photography revolution has appeared in American life in the early twentieth and Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) was the first forerunner for that revolution. Alfred was an American photographer who has spent fifty-year career in making photography appeared like an art form alongside painting and sculpture. In 1881, he and his family moved to Germany.
In addition to artist utilising text with their works, text also plays other important roles in the art world. Traditionally, most artworks simply use text as a way of giving a title to their work and also supplying an explanation of their work to inform the viewer (artist’s name, year of production, medium and in some cases an artist’s statement of intent). Furthermore, audiences may also be informed or persuaded by the words of art historians or art critics. Historians may assist in the understanding of why a particular work was done a certain way, such as the art movement it was a part of thus influencing the artist’s techniques or what events were impacting the world in the period the work was created, affecting subject matter. Art critics on the other hand, may stimulate the viewer’s experience of the artwork or hinder it due the positive or negative comments made, thus creating preconceptions of the artwork.
Artists suggest meaning in their artmaking practice through their choice and manipulation of materials. The materials chosen to make an artwork can imply a meaning that other materials would not. The ways these materials are used also play a huge part in the significance of an artwork. Artists such as Jeff Koons and Damien Hirst use certain materials and utilize them in ways to convey messages to the audience. This can be seen in artworks such as “Puppy”, “Michael Jackson and Bubbles” and “Rabbit” by Jeff Koons and “The Dream”, “Mother and Child Divided” and “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living” by Damien Hirst.
The acoustic waves generated from the absorbing tissue reach the detectors in the transducer array at different times. This time delay leads to the precise localization of the source tissue and creation of a map of the function of electromagnetic energy deposition. To obtain a PAT image, many photoacoustic images are taken at different angles by pulsing electromagnetic radiation onto a tissue which is suspend in a bath while a piezoelectric transducer detects the generated photoacoustic waves to reconstruct an image. PAT suffers from optical scattering, which lowers the spatial resolution with an increasing depth in soft tissues (3). PAT has a variety of applications in the many emerging fields of scientific research and may one day prove to be a valuable resource in a clinical setting.
Antebellum Reform Movement: Music Princeton University defines music as “an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner.”1 Though there is a universal definition for music, music itself is constantly changing. The growing popularity of spiritual music, the transformation of parlor music, and the influence of immigrants on music in the United States all represent the change in music from 1790 to 1860. The religious revival known as the Second Great Awakening caused rapid popularity for spiritual song traditions throughout the United States. The movement was centered partially around outdoor worship gatherings and simple hymns. One group that was known for their ecstatic form of worship were referred to as the Shakers, though they called themselves the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing.
