...Bramante and Aesthetics of High Renaissance William Kidwell ART101: Art Appreciation Instructor Venecia-Tobin September 17, 2012 Bramante and Aesthetics of High Renaissance Italian architect and painter, born. about 1444 at Monte Asdrualdo (hence, sometimes ASDRUALDINO); died. in Rome, March 11th, 1514. Nothing is known of his early youth. His early artistic development also, about which Vasari has made so many erroneous statements, is mostly a matter of conjecture. Today, however, it seems fairly certain that Laurana, the architect of the ducal palace at Urbino, showed him the way to the impressive style of the High Renaissance. Bramante's artistic activity is divided into two periods of which the first was spent in Milan and the other in Rome. His work in Milan is characterized by a pronounced picturesque, decorative style. In Rome, on the other hand, we find a style which is more proper to the High Renaissance, exemplified in works that are, as far as possible, free from all external decoration, impressive by reason of their proportions, and recalling the antique by their grandeur and power. In 1476 Bramante became the court architect of Lodovico Sforza (Il Moro), having been in Milan, as has been abundantly shown, from 1474. At first he seems to have been engaged principally as a painter, following the vigorous manner of Mantegna and Melozzo da Forlí. It is true that only scanty remains of his work at this time have been found. Such are the recently discovered...

...The South DeKalb, Georgia, community of Belvedere Park has had a number of cases over the years involving gun violence along Glenwood Road: two DeKalb County Police Officers ambushed and murdered, another set of DeKalb County Police Officers injured in a shooting, a teenage male shot and killed, and just recently an infant child shot along with three other victims and more. Due to the alleged cases of police brutality occurring around the country with African-Americans, many Americans are a part of the "Black Lives Matter" movement, but when does Black lives matter? Only when it’s a matter of dealing with the police and/or when someone from outside of the African-American community commits the murder? Infinite Crossings, a grassroots organization based in the Belvedere Park community is working on an initiative to improve the lifestyles of low income and working class residents of Belvedere Park. Currently we are focused on addressing the issues of poverty,...

...instead is reliant on using signs to produce an anchored meaning. Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products. The advertisement I have chosen is from Belvedere of which was posted on their Facebook page on March 2012. The target audience is both males and females in their late teens to mid-twenties. The alcoholic beverages industry is increasingly globalised, with a few large, multinational companies dominant in the market. These companies have access to significant resources to assist in marketing their products. The ad, which shows a guy wrestling a horrified looking girl, reads "Unlike some people, Belvedere always goes down smooth." The intended meaning of the advert was to suggest that Belvedere shocks people, as it is a high quality and smooth...

...Traitorous Sculptures A war that tore the United States of America in two; a rebel country, trying to break away from the Union-killing thousands of American soldiers in the process. Now, these traitors are being glorified as heroes. These traitors were the leaders of the Confederate States of America, who have statues of themselves across America, especially in the south. Among these men immortalized in statue form are C.S.A. General Robert E. Lee and C.S.A. President Jefferson Davis. Since traitors should not be honored, statues of Confederate leaders should be torn down and replaced with American heroes, like presidents J.F.K. or Ronald Reagan. “Now, removing the Confederate statues may erase Southern history,” some might say. However,...

...HISTORY OF THE 10th MOUNTAIN DIVISION ________________________________________ Birth of the Division In November 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland. Finnish soldiers on skis annihilated two tank divisions, humiliating the Russians. Charles Minot (Minnie) Dole, the president of the National Ski Patrol, saw this as a perfect example of why the U.S. Army needed mountain troops. Dole spent months lobbying the War Department to train troops in mountain and winter warfare. In September 1940, Dole was able to present his case to General George C. Marshall, the Army Chief of Staff, who caused the Army take action on Dole’s proposals to create ski units. On December 8, 1941, the Army activated its first mountain unit, the 87th Mountain Infantry Battalion (Later became an entire Regiment) at Fort Lewis, Washington. The unit was dubbed "Minnie’s Ski Troops" in honor of Dole. The 87th trained on Mount Ranier’s 14,408 foot peak. The National Ski Patrol took on the unique role of recruiting for the 87th Infantry Regiment and later the Division. After returning from the Kiska Campaign in the Aleutian Islands near Alaska the 87th formed the core of the new Division. 10th Mountain Division - World War II This unique organization came into being on July 13, 1943, at Camp Hale, Colorado as the 10th Light Division (Alpine). The combat power of the Division was contained in the 85th, 86th, and 87th Infantry Regiments. The Division’s year training at the 9,200 foot high Camp Hale honed...

...The emergence of the new media in the 17th century has to be seen in close connection with the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press derives its name.[7] The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 onwards by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, is often recognized as the first newspaper.[8][9] At the time, Strasbourg was a free imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation; the first newspaper of modern Germany was the Avisa, published in 1609 in Wolfenbüttel. Other early papers include: The Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c. ('Courant from Italy, Germany, etc.') of 1618 was the first to appear in folio- rather than quarto-size. Amsterdam, a center of world trade, quickly became home to newspapers in many languages, often before they were published in their own country.[10] The first English-language newspaper, Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc., was published in Amsterdam in 1620. A year and a half later, Corante, or weekely newes from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, France and the Low Countreys. was published in England by an "N.B." (generally thought to be either Nathaniel Butter or Nicholas Bourne) and Thomas Archer.[11] The first newspaper in France was published in 1631, La Gazette (originally published as Gazette de France).[5] The first newspaper in Portugal, Gazeta[disambiguation needed], was published in 1641 in Lisbon.[12] The first Spanish newspaper, Gaceta de...
