...Art and Intention The reaction of the public to Michelangelo’s David and Marcel Duchamp’s Nude Descending a Staircase was the painting overturned conventions not only for depicting the female nude but also for representing three-dimensional space on a canvas. Michelangelo’s David it is one of the world’s most famous sculptures, considered a masterpiece of Renaissance art. But it did not meet with universal approval when it was first dis played in Florence, Italy, in 1504. The thing that contemporary viewers find objectionable about each work was the plaza where public political meetings took place on a raised platform called the arringhiera from which the English word “harangue” derives). Its political context, in other words, was clear. It represented David’s triumph over the tyrant Goliath and was meant to symbolize Republican Florence the city’s freedom from foreign and papal domination and from the rule of the Medici family as well. Les Demoiselles d’Avingnon has often been interpreted as commenting on the anxiety surrounding venereal disease, a life-threatening sexual affliction that widely affected prostitutes in Paris during the 1900s. The reasons behind Duchamp’s innovative approach to human form were inspired by a popular exhibition of African objects held in Paris in the 1800s. Frequently carried modern European perceptions of cultural superiority and often appropriated the art without understanding its original meaning function. Yes the artist’s inspiration enhanced...

...Art and Intention Colleen Claus ART/101 August 16, 2013 John Lennox Art and Intention The statue of David was created to symbolize the city of Florence’s freedom from foreign, papal, and Medici rule by depicting the triumph of David over the giant, Goliath. The unveiling met with public resistance. Supporters of the Medici family hurled stones at it during the night. Other citizens objected to its nudity. To protect the sensibilities of the viewers, a copper skirt was made to go around it (Sayre, 2009). Marcel Duchamp’s painting, “Nude Descending A Staircase” is a captivating piece. By viewing it from a distance one perceives the graceful flow of movement. This is an abstract painting using cubism and inspired by stop-action photography. The public expected a realistic painting and did not understand the work. They thought the artist was mocking them. A reporter challenged anyone to find a woman in the picture (MyArtsLab, 2012). This painting is not a study of the human body but a study of movement. The inspiration for this piece was a book by Etienne Jules Marey, pictures of a horse trotting in stop-action photography, and an illustration that used a system of dots to indicate the point of each movement made (MyArtsLab, 2012). Duchamp depicted motion with the study of a figure in kinetic motion, represented by successive superimposed images of the subject. At first viewing the painting seemed to depict chaos and confusion. Knowing the artist’s...

This painting raised eyebrows in France and brought a scandal in New York when the painting was display, the mechanistic approach to the female body was perceived as a crude.

Indianapolis Stars, Steve Hall learned this after losing his career as one of the papers top critics. Intentional or unintentional, plagiarism has its major consequences and could be avoided by crediting those who deserved to be credited. Is It Worth It? : The Effects of Plagiarism After working for 13 years as one of Indianapolis Monthly’s top television critics, Steve Hall was fired after being accused of plagiarism. According to Bettie Cadou’s article, Words Fail Me (2000), “Hall took his first hit when his supervisors decided his review of the UPN wrestling program closely resembled an article by Dallas Morning News TV critic Ed Bank. Then came the final blow, when an analysis of Hall’s previous stories found another half-dozen pieces, dating to 1997, that were deemed too similar to other writers’ works.” Even though Hall at first claimed it wasn’t intentional, the hirer ups felt that too many of his articles sounded too much alike and they made the decision to release him from his duties. In the article, You Can Say That Again (2000), also written by Cadou, she gives a number of examples of Hall’s work compared to some articles in Times Magazine; “Times: The show is smart and often funny… Mr. Kilborn delivers this material with the requisite smirks and deadpan charm … he is blond and boyish...

...Assignment 2 To: Assignment Grader From: Nicole Rivero Date: 7/26/15 In this case John owns a zinc mine and Dana owns a zinc mine next door. John is mining zinc from underneath his own property. Unbeknownst to him, as he is mining, he and his employees cross the area under the border between his land and Dana’s so that John is mining beneath Dana’s land. After doing this for a week, Dana tells John that he is beneath her land. John realizes she is correct and immediately stops his mining activities. Dana sues John for trespass to land. John claims that he is not liable for trespass to land because he did not conduct any activity that is above ground on Dana’s land. Although John did not conduct activity above ground, in trespass to land a person's property is considered to extend to the center of the earth in the downward direction. Therefore, John is liable for trespass to land as he did unlawfully enter her property even though it was underground. John next claims that he is not liable for trespass to land because he did not intentionally mine under Dana’s land. In Sandlin v. Webb, 240 S.W.2d 69, the appellees began mining business on land adjoining Sandlin's. The appellees employed a mine foreman to take care of the underground work as well as a mining engineer, to lay out the mine, make surveys and direct the operations. The mining engineer furnished the appellees with maps showing the extent of the underground operations and in turn the appelless would give the...

...essential for the advancement of your career and development as a leader. Unfortunately, personal branding has become a “commoditized” term that has lost its intention as people have irresponsibly used social media as a platform to build their personal brand and increase their relevancy. They believe social media can immediately increase their market value for their personal brand rather than recognizing that the process of developing their personal brand is a much bigger responsibility; a never-ending journey that extends well beyond social media. This is why I always advise those who want to have a social media presence to think carefully about their intentions and objectives before opening an account. Why? Because the moment you start – you must not allow yourself to stop. Challenge yourself to think about what your intentions are and what you are capable of delivering to the communities you are serving – both in and outside of the workplace. Personal branding, much like social media, is about making a full-time commitment to the journey of defining yourself as a leader and how this will shape the manner in which you will serve others. View your personal brand as a trademark; an asset that you must protect while continuously molding and shaping it. Your personal brand is an asset that must be managed with the intention of helping others benefit from having a relationship with you and / or by being associated with your work and the industry you serve.
