...Week six Final Project Suzan Cofer: Draw Near Exhibition Art 1001 Section 12 November 21, 2012 Week six Final Project Suzan Cofer: Draw Near Exhibition The art exhibition of Suzan Cofer: Dear Near was very intoxicating and refreshing. The exhibition was well organized; the paintings were arranged in a meticulous order that evokes interest in each piece as you move from one painting to the other. The works of art were of an abstract nature mostly depicting the essence of microscopic life that exists in nature and what seems like the representation of the developmental stages of sprouting life form. In some of her painting you could see the obvious depiction of nature with landscapes and trees. The artist was able to capture this transformation of nature with the simple strokes of vertical lines and colored pencils on mostly plain white sheets of paper. I believe the goal of the artist was for each viewer to have a connection to the paintings ("Suzan Cofer: Draw Near," 2012). The exhibition consisted of over one hundreds pieces of work from the timeline of the dated from 1976 to present. This era was a difficult time for artists. It was the time of the great depression which resulted in the war of the times (Heilbrunn Timeline, n.d.). Artist wanted a find a way to express their emotions and feeling in an unrecognizable form. This gave birth to abstract painting which derived from the abstract expressionist...

...The Lottery, written by Shirley Jackson, is a narrative tale of life in one particular small town. The story implies that this is a friendly little town and begins introducing the villagers one by one. The story begins innocently but as it progresses many seemingly useless bits of information introduced in the beginning of the story begin to build the suspense centered on a violent ritual which becomes clear near the end of the story. The ritual held in this small town and other surrounding towns is an annual event that is taken in stride by all the town folk but leaves the reader wondering how such a violent event came to be and how it could continue through the years. Could people actually believe that by sacrificing one of their own that the corn crops would be plentiful the near year? The author, Jackson, takes you to a particular day which annually affects this small town with a population of 300. Initially, the author introduces the villagers one by one and she writes of how the neighbors gather in the town square and begin conversing with one another about various details of their, what appears to be typical, day to day activities. The men talk about crops, the children are still celebrating the summer break from school and the women begin to gossip. Life appears to be what one would expect in a small town as the author describes how the boys in the village begin gathering rocks in an almost innocent manner. As the story progresses, it begins to focus more on the...

...Name Class Date 5.3 Human Population Growth Lesson Objectives Discuss the trend of human population growth. Explain why population growth rates differ in countries throughout the world. Lesson Summary Historical Overview The size of the human population has increased over time. For most of human existence, limiting factors such as the scarcity of food kept death rates high. As civilization advanced, agriculture, industry, improved nutrition, sanitation, and medicine reduced death rates. Birthrates stayed high in most places. This led to exponential growth. Today, the human population continues to grow exponentially, although the doubling time has slowed. Patterns of Human Population Growth Demography is the scientific study of human populations. Demographers try to predict how human populations will change over time. Over the past century, population growth in developed countries slowed. As death rates dropped, birthrates dropped also. Demographers call this shift the demographic transition. Most people live in countries that have not undergone the demographic transition. An age-structure graph shows how many people of each gender are in each age group in a population. Demographers use such graphs to predict how a population will change. More people of reproductive age usually means faster growth. Many factors, including disease, will affect human population growth in the twenty-first century. Current data suggest the human population will grow more...

Christians question why a loving God allows bad things happen to His people. They wonder how sufferings in the life of a Christian can possibly build faith. These ideas will be explored through the life and works of theologian and scholar, C. S. Lewis. Answers will be sought through the examination of Lewis’s personal experiences, his theological studies and his fictional writings. This paper will prove that human pain and suffering is essential in the Christian experience by examining the reasons human suffer, why God does not intervene to prevent suffering, and how pain and suffering might build faith and draw people closer to God. The reality that Christians, who devote their lives to God suffer, is a source of angst for many. As humans develop, they assimilate every experience and thought they have had into the way they view and interpret the world around them. Every person in this world experiences pain and suffering...

I grew up near this bustling city and until just recently had forgotten to appreciate what an experience it is. "Columbus was founded on February 14, 1812" (Columbus, Ohio), and it is amazing how easily we can overlook things to that which we are accustomed. If you ask a few people from out of town or state about Columbus, they can usually tell you a handful of reasons to visit this vibrant city. People from cities all over the country come to shop at Polaris Fashion Place and Easton Town Center. Ohio athletics draw in thousands of people to the state of Ohio and Columbus specifically each year. With the cultural diversity in Columbus,...

...Theatre in Great Britain The centre of theatrical activity in Britain is London. There are some 48 principal theatres in or near the West End and some 8 in the suburbs. Most of the theatres are let to producing managements on a commercial basis but some are occupied by important subsided companies, including the National Theatre and Royal Shakespeare Companies. The former stages classical and modem plays from all countries; the latter presents Shakespearean plays in Stratford-upon-Avon and a mixed repertoire in London. Many non-repertoire theatres outside London present all kinds of drama and many also put on variety shows and other entertainment. Music in all its forms — pop music, folk music, jazz, light music and brass bands — plays an important role in British cultural life. The widespread interest in classical music is reflected in the large audiences at orchestral concerts and at performances of opera, ballet and chamber music. Regular seasons of opera and ballet are given at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. Seasons of opera and operetta in English are given by the English National Opera. There are several thousands of amateur dramatic societies in Britain (some 200 amateur youth theatres among them). Most Universities have active amateur drama clubs and societies. Until reccently the history of the english theatre has been buildaround actors rather then companies. It was hard to find any Londontheatre that even had a consistent policy. There is no permanent...

The short story The Swimmer by S.J Butler deals with a young woman whose fear keeps her from doing what she wants, until the sudden lust to follow her desire draws her closer. Fear for the unknown and desire for change is what draws her to carry out the deed and follow her instinct which luckily turns out to help her be set free. The short story starts by presenting the present situation of the weather. “Three weeks of windless sun”[1] By using the first five sentences to present the weather, the setting is established and the reader is aware of the situation. The setting is described thoroughly as being a hot summer day which has lasted for three weeks, the wind is not moving, and the sun is burning on the ground. “nothing moves except the water”[2] The water is in contrast to the clouds and the wind, moving.

...William Tubao Kaplan May 7, 2014 The issue of school shootings is important to students and should be to the general public. A school shooting involves an educational institution and a firearm being discharged at its facility. It may also refer to shootings near or on a school bus or near a school when it is in session. School shootings could occur anywhere in the world where firearms are available for access. These types of shootings in particular have generated a political dispute on stricter gun control. There are well known shootings in the United States, Europe, Canada, and other countries. The United States has the highest number of school related shootings. This paper will examine a few of those incidents and compare how the media and academic articles portray them. Overall, media articles show that coverage of school shooting events such as the ones that occurred at Virginia Tech University and Sandy Hook Elementary School tend to primarily focus on the number of victims, reactions of family, the misfortune of the event, as well as the mental state and background of the shootings. For an example, in the Los Angeles Times article “Gunman kills 20 kids, 6 adults at Connecticut elementary school”, they focus on the number of dead, imagery, and the emotion after the shooting such as parent’s reactions and children’s reactions. In the article they seem to dramatize the whole situation by saying things like “Evil visited this community today”. Although it is a tragic...

We see broad and specific signs as the second coming of Christ draws near. The love of Jesus for his disciples is displayed as he warns them of these signs. He warned his disciples that when they see these signs, the end is near. It also shows how Jesus wanted them to be aware of the signs of the end of the age. Episode 2 The day and the hour unknown is the central message in Matthew 24: 36-51. We must be ready when Christ returns for the second coming. We must have our hearts and minds prepared. We must be ready at all times. We must be ready every day and every hour. Jesus wants us to be ready whenever he comes back. Episode 3 In Matthew 25: 1-13, the central message here is we must be prepared and have our things in order for the coming of the bridegroom Jesus Christ. We must be alert. We cannot wait until the last minute to prepare. We will not have another chance to prepare for the coming of our bridegroom the Christ. . The Common Ground The common ground in these three episodes is we must be ready when Jesus returns for his second coming. In the first episode we are told that we will have signs when the end is near. The second episode tells us that we do not know the hour or day that Christ shall appear. In the third and final episode, we must have our things in order when Christ comes back. . Conclusion ...
