History Through Paint Jake Farney 11/6/13 Art 1.2 sect: 0128 The Death of General Wolfe is an 18th century painted by Benjamin West depicting the death of a General during the Seven Years War. Benjamin West was an Anglo American painter during the late 18th and early 19th centuries who became known for his historical paintings. Born in Pennsylvania, he left for Britain around age 25 and never returned. The Death of General Wolfe is an oil on canvas painting painted in 1770 depicting the death of a General during The Seven Years War. With a 59 in × 84 in dimension the painting is no small piece.
The colors are used to show different forms and they draw the eye around the paintings. This is really the only thing these two paintings have in common. To contrast the paintings, the brushstrokes in both of these paintings are very different. Matisse’s brushstrokes are very fluid, predetermined, and linear. This is shown by how the lines contain the color and forms of the people and by how the trees are withheld to themselves, and how though the color is fluid inside the forms of the trees, the colors are still limited to the edge of the trees.
There is also a lot of contrast between the patches of snow and the rock face of the mountain. When I look at this painting the darker colors create an emphasis on the lake initially drawing my eye towards it and the surrounding foliage; but then my eye follows the line created by the shadow up towards the bright sky and the rock face of the mountain. I believe this painting is fairly symmetrical due to the rocks on both sides of the lake, the peak and rocks that appear to jump out in the foreground of the painting. I believe that this painting is trying to demonstrate the natural beauty of Mother Nature, the solitude of being in the mountains and lack of industrialization happening within the mountains. Payne loved the mountains.

Jackie was at it again with sports and became the first UCLA Bruin to letter in four sports and was one of four black players on the football team making it the most integrated team in the nation. Competing in track and field he won the 1940 NCAA Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championship in the long jump with a 24’10.5” jump. Surprisingly, his “worst sport” at UCLA was baseball where he hit a pathetic .097 on the season after going 4-4 in the season opener where he stole home twice, a reoccurring them throughout his career. During his time at UCLA he met his future wife, Rachel Isum, a freshman at the time who knew about Robinson due to his athletic prowess and accomplishments at Pasadena Junior College. Much to the dismay of his mother, Jackie left UCLA during the spring semester of his senior year and fell just short of graduating.
We also need a stopwatch to measure the time duration and a measuring tool to determine the length of each experiment. Once the bob is attached to the string and the string is secured to the anchor we take a measurement of the distance from the anchor to the center of the bob. Next we hold the stopwatch and pull the bob out about a few inches and as we let it swing we start the stopwatch and let the bob swing from side to side ten times and stop the time when the bob reaches the starting point on the tenth swing. Once the stopwatch is stopped record the time measurement and move the decimal place to the left one place or divide by ten to average the ten complete swings. Next we will take two raps of the string on the anchor point and measure the distance from the anchor to the center of the bob and record that measurement.
A: SPORT AS A UNIFIER 1) Yes, when a nation supports their sports teams or individual athletes it brings them a sense of national pride.
