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
This hand-sculpting, so seemingly simple, yet profoundly difficult to do well, is thought to impart the feeling of the potter directly to the tea-drinker's hand. ("History of Raku" n.d.) I found a blog post talking about the feel of these types of handmade pieces. The blogger states, “Tebineri pieces feel amazing in hand, and due to the pinch work nature, they tend to be a bit more unique and different than typical handmade pottery pieces. I know all
Early Imperial China INTRODUCTION Go to http://www.ancientcivilisations.co.uk/home_set.html After the lengthy introduction, click on the small globe at the bottom of the page. This will bring up a list of “A-Z Cultures.” Choose “Imperial China.” Read the introduction on the left hand side of the page: o What reforms did Qin Shihuangdi bring to China? Old defensive walls in the North were joined to make the Great Wall, this was done to prevent invasion of Northern barbarians. A single currency and uniform measures were introduced. Canal building and a road network made trade and travel much easier.
I personally think all of the use of technology was effective because they had so many resources and made some real breakthroughs in investigative technology. The general investigation methods were generally good because through searching his house they found the body. However they may have been a bit too upfront with Hawley which gave him the chance to flee which show a lack of effectiveness. The main improvement for me though was in the organisation of the police, since the JTR cases they had earned a lot respect from the public due to the improvement in organisation making them look stronger which I think was vital in this case. So overall I think the investigation into the Crippen murders was very effective, because even though there were a few mistakes ultimately they made up for them and showed real progress to catch
Duarte's choice of colors used to highlight portions of certain types of language in MLK's speech, make this infographic a beautiful work of art! In addition to David McCandless' work, Hans Rosling, a professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, has incorporated data visualization with 'infomotion' providing his audience the ability to see movement of the information within the infographic and what Rosling calls 'unveiling the beauty of statistical time series by converting boring numbers into enjoyable, animated and interactive graphics'. . http://www.gapminder.org Below is a beautiful infographic done by Lemongraphic. This graphic shows data of a 37 minute bus ride broken down to record the time of each stop, stop number, and the number and type of passenger who boarded.
16 Nov. 2008 <http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/284517/Inca>. The Britannica encyclopedia is a great source to find information on almost any topic related to “Inca”. This website seems to be very useful considering it contains all the necessary subtopics (people, life, civilization, rulers, etc.) on my main topic, Ancient Inca. The encyclopedia also gives a good back up for each fact that it states.
In conclusion I will be giving my own suggestion on how the module can be improved. One of the most useful things I have learnt in this module was to improve my ability to research for a report or an essay. The university library has helped me in the case of accessing books on desired topics as well as the many labs around the campus. The vast choice of books and the use of internet have helped me find the handy information I need for a particular task. By doing this, I have also learnt what plagiarism is and how I must avoid it.
Therefore, it is reliable in terms of understanding more on what I am researching about. Its recent publication date, 2006 provides up to date information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki.Breast_Cancer#History Although this source was found in Wikipedia, known as a risky site where information may be edited into foul information, it is reliable in comparing with my other sources to help me ensure that I am gathering right information. www.ehow.com/how-does_5502158_breast_cancer-discovered.html?ref=Track2&utm_source=ask This source is a reliable as it gives a clear understanding of the comparison between the ancient and recent history of breast cancer by distinguishing the changes that have occurred over time. http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/breast/Patient/page5 This source is reliable as it is a government website.
In the article Shirky establishes the point that we are now going through a similar growth in our publishing capability as we had in our past. This capability, according to Shirky, enables us to create new “education resources” such as Wikipedia and Patients like Me. The article also shows how there is much nonsense out there and points towards further historical references of people who were against the widespread availability of knowledge, such as Edgar Allen Poe and Martin Luther King Jr. Yet this article goes on to say that these “pessimists'” awe of the past was unfounded, compared to the present in which people went towards pointless content as well if not more. Shirky points out that in the end the increase in the freedom and availability to make content is a positive change even though it comes with “dumb videos and erotic novels” (Shirky).
Now, he can zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski. Trent Batson’s article “Response to Nicholas Carr’s “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Batson has served as a professor of English, as Director of Academic Computing at two universities, and as communications strategist at MIT. His research areas include e-portfolios, teaching digital writing and other areas that bring together technological literacy and learning. You might consider the stasis points between Carr and Batson and, more specifically, whether technology has indeed provided a useful and effective form of public dialogue. Batson says that Carr being a writer he finds the Web a valuable tool, but he thinks it’s having a bad effect on his concentration.
