...Olowe of Ise “It is insufficiently understood that a museums power lies not in the possession of objects and collections, but in the acceptance of its authority to name them by both label and context. This is the most jealously guarded divine right of the museum as the curator of soi-disant public collections” – Duncan F. Cameron. Duncan F. Cameron served as a museum curator and director in the Brooklyn Museum in the New York City Borough of Brooklyn, the second largest museum in New York City and one of the largest in the United States. Duncan served in the museum from 1971-1974. An artist once told me, “Art is in the eyes of the beholder” – anonymous. It’s a statement with a broad perspective of thought and meditation. First I would like to give an example of what the quote by Duncan meant can be seen by the work of Constantine Petridis, a museum curator of African art gallery in the Cleveland Museum of art. He explains objects from the same culture are displayed together and differentiated with those of their neighbors. This concept shows the formal and stylistic relationships between neighboring and familiar artistic customs or traditions that ex-plains the distinctiveness of the arts of distinct people. An addition to the regional framework, thematic connections are highlighted through the use of gallery cards which explain topics of artists, leadership, masks and masquerades, styles and the supernatural. Gallery cards provide photo, descriptions and narrative text linking...

...HUMA205-1203A-15 Art Appreciation Steven R Cross AIU Online 10 June, 2012 Abstract Art takes form in many different ways of expression. Some throughout history express a way of life and belief, while others many express an escape for what back then may be the normal thoughts and patterns. The viewer may take from the art, knowledge or feelings of life back then. As time went by people and lifestyles changed as well did art and expression. Art Appreciation Encyclopedia Britannica (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc., 2012) describes art as “a visual object or experience consciously created through an expression of skill or imagination. The term art encompasses diverse media such as painting, sculpture, printmaking, drawing, decorative arts, photography, and installation”. UBC (Belton, 2008) explains art as “•the product of conscious intention, •a self-rewarding activity, •a tendency to unite dissimilar things, •a concern with change and variety, •the aesthetic exploitation of familiarity vs. surprise, •the aesthetic exploitation of tension vs. release, •the imposition of order on disorder, •the creation of illusions, •an indulgence in sensuousness, •the exhibition of skill, •a desire to convey meanings, •an indulgence in fantasy, •the aggrandizement of self or others, •illustration, •the heightening of existence, •revelation, •personal adornment or embellishment, •therapy, •the giving of meaning to life, •the generation of unselfconscious...

...Despite my newfound confidence there was a time when I almost let my insecurities defeat me. Before I took part in competitions, I doubted that I had the capabilities to develop an award winning experiment. Quite frankly, my classmates doubted my research abilities as well. Considering that I never scored the highest on tests and constantly asked questions in class, certain students would categorize me as someone that struggled in that class. One student even said “no” when I asked if they thought that I could get past the first round in NYSCEF. Although it was disheartening to hear that someone one thought that I was incapable of developing a valid experiment, I used that negativity to work hard and prove those students wrong. Only then did I realize that I just might have a future in science. Fortunately, I disregarded the lack of support, continued working on my experiment, and submitted it to NYSCEF for review. Not only did I make it past the first round, but my experiment was also selected for the final...

...Art Criticism Art criticism involves art description, formal analysis, interpretation and value judgment (Elkins, & Engelke, 2003). The paper gives an art criticism of a piece of art I saw at Lyman Allyn Art Museum by L.F Baeles titled On the Lake. [pic] Identification Title: On the Lake Artist: L.F Baeles Date: 1885 Medium: Oil on Canvas Size: Na Location: Lyman Allyn Art Museum Description On the Lake is a painting art done by an American artist L.F Beales in 1885. The painting was exhibited at Lyman Allyn Art Museum during 2015 august exhibition at the museum. The art is done on canvas using oil paint. In the painting, one can see a boat on the lake with two sailors. One sailor is a man, and the other is a woman. The woman in the boat is decently dressed, and she is peddling the boat. The man is gazing at the large landscape at the end of the lake. At both edges of the lake, there is a landscape covered with big bush. At a distance, there is another boat occupied by two sailors. The two sailors at the distant boat can be seen conversing with each other. The sky is very brighter with scattered brown clouds indicating that it was on a summer evening (Leiber, Alden, Mœglin-Delcroix, & Purves, T. 2001). From the look, the painting represents a couple enjoying a date at the lakeside on a summer evening. However, the man is depicted as naïve looking on how he is dressed and is being distracted by the large landscape covered with bushes. The woman is...

...New York City The first native New Yorkers were the Lenape, an Algonquin people who hunted, fished and farmed in the area between the Delaware and Hudson rivers. Europeans began to explore the region at the beginning of the 16th century--among the first was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian who sailed up and down the Atlantic coast in search of a route to Asia--but none settled there until 1624. That year, the Dutch West India Company sent some 30 families to live and work in a tiny settlement on “Nutten Island” (today’s Governors Island) that they called New Amsterdam. In 1626, the settlement’s governor general, Peter Minuit, purchased the much larger Manhattan Island from the natives for 60 guilders in trade goods such as tools, farming equipment, cloth and wampum (shell beads). Fewer than 300 people lived in New Amsterdam when the settlement moved to Manhattan. But it grew quickly, and in 1760 the city (now called New York City; population 18,000) surpassed Boston to become the second-largest city in the American colonies. Fifty years later, with a population 202,589, it became the largest city in the Western hemisphere. Today, more than 8 million people live in the city’s five boroughs. New York City in the 18th Century In 1664, the British seized New Amsterdam from the Dutch and gave it a new name: New York City. For the next century, the population of New York City grew larger and more diverse: It included immigrants from the Netherlands, England, France and Germany;...

...Andy Vu ETHN 14 PROF Mark 26 November 2015 Japanese Internment Camps during World War II: Sports in the Camps. The Bombing of Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941 resulted in President Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 0966 on February 19th 1942, which effected all Japanese ancestry, both citizens and aliens living in America or outside of the Pacific zone. The Executive Order's primary objective were to prevent any espionage and to protect the Japanese people from any harm against Americans who slowly began to become very strong anti-Japanese people who were growing their hate and racial discrimination to the Japanese due to the bombing. With the Executive Order in act, if affected “117,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were native-born citizens of the United States” (as stated through the National Archives.) Evacuation orders were posted in Japanese American communities giving them instructions on what they were to do. This included the Issei who were the first generation Japanese to immigrate to American and also the Nisei who were the second generation Japanese in America. The Japanese were allotted a few days to pack whatever they could and bring it with them. Many families had to sell off their homes, businesses and their belongings at a much lower price they had purchased it for. The 117,000 people of Japanese decent living in the U.S were later removed from their homes and moved to internment camps to prove their loyalty to the United States. During...

The elderly population in the United States is growing. Today, over 35 million persons are 65 years of age or older, accounting for about 13 percent of the population. According to the Administration on Aging (AOA) (2014) in the year 2030, their numbers will more than double resulting in one in every five Americans being over 65. As scientists and doctors find new ways to cure illnesses, more people are living longer lives. In fact, the fastest-growing age group in the U.S. is the 85 years and older group. This group now represents about 40 percent of the elderly population (AOA, 2014). The process of aging for elders 65 years and older often involves a number of progressive physiological changes. Within the context of these changes, and often related to them, prominent issues of psychological and social adjustment emerge. Such issues include coping with declines in physical and functional abilities, changing social relationships and roles, and dealing...

...Francis Dolarhyde, whom the police jokingly refer to as the Tooth Fairy because of the bite marks he leaves on female victims. Harris does a masterful job of creating background on the killer that delves into the makings of a serial killer. Thomas Harris gives the reader an understanding of Dolarhyde’s mindset when committing his horrific crimes by detailing the abuses the killer suffered as a child (Sexton). Harris takes the reader from the infant born with a cleft palate so disfiguring he was left to die through the cruelty of a childhood that included abandonment, a mean and mentally unstable grandmother, and taunts from his stepsiblings. In doing so, the author provides significance to some of the killer’s actions (Cowley). This research paper will examine the underlying psychopathology of serial killers that often stems from abuse in childhood, turning the human into the monster. Red Dragon begins with the FBI and the police on a desperate hunt for a serial killer whom police have nicknamed the Tooth Fairy because of bite marks left on victims. The public is duly alarmed as the target of the killer is entire families. Members of the FBI know that they must quickly apprehend the criminal not only due to the public outcry and fear but also because time is against them. The killer strikes on lunar moons and the authorities have only about three weeks before his next crime. Jack Crawford, the special agent assigned to the case, seeks the help of Will Graham, a gifted...
