...IWT Task 1 Western Governors University Literature, Arts and the Humanities IWT1 IWT Task 1 Abstract Artwork is defined as: a painting, sculpture, photograph, etc., that is created to be beautiful or to express an important idea or feeling: an artistic work. (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/artwork) and dates back to the Old Stone Ages. Artists capture certain moments in time and express their inspiration in a vast array of styles, such as; social and political events, religious and mythological depictions, ornate and affluent periods, tangible subjects that portray life accurately and in-motion, cultural movements, abstract images, and pop culture. The two movements that inclined the writing of this paper were; Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. The reason why I chose these two eras is I felt the artists of this time period were brave enough to create what they felt with very little acceptance or approval from their colleagues. Impressionism was developing new creations by changing the subject matter of artwork. It was no longer depictions of history, mythology or royalty; it was now about landscapes and capturing a certain moment in time. The smooth brush strokes of their predecessors were no longer apparent, and this new form of painting entailed; short brush strokes, wet paint applications directly onto the canvas, and juxtaposition. Impressionists liked to focus on capturing the optical effects of lighting and color. Post -Impressionism took it a...

...century, O’Keeffe captured the western landscape and the spiritual mystique of the New Mexican badlands. This exhibition revealed the artworks of Georgia O’Keeffe. For this exhibition, the following three artworks being used are: Red Hills with Bones (1927), Red Hills with Flowers (1937), and Black Place II (1944-45). These paintings gave a good representation of O’Keeffe’s life and presented some historical relevance from the perspective of American modernism through the landscapes of the American Southwest. The range of works in the exhibition provided the opportunity for an installation of groupings by themes such as balance of life and death, simplicity in detail, and sublime beauty of the American Southwest near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Among these themes, this exhibition captured the spiritual beauty of the Southwest. Both nature and its environment are the focus of creative experimentation of composition, form, and the properties of light, color, and infinite space. Even the balance of nature in the desert inspired Georgia O’Keeffe to explore the New Mexico’s universal nature. This exhibition challenged the viewers to focus on the simplicity in O’Keeffe’s compositions as well as the bold colors and light in these artworks in a two-dimensional space. Also, the viewers will be challenged with what art critics think about these artworks. The layout of the exhibition is essential to reveal these three artworks. The entrance to the gallery will have a glass window, where...

...organization that assists artists with the production and presentation of new work. It changes in response to the needs of artists and informs and engages the public about their work. The organization was founded in 1981 by artists Martin Weinstein and Teresa Liszka in the General Hardware building. Weinstein and Liszka aimed to create a space where artists could exhibit unconventional work and exchange ideas with their peers. Now, Art in General fulfills its mission in a variety of ways, including the organization and presentation of exhibitions, hosting a national and international artist residency program, and through regular public programs and membership events. Beginning in 2005, its exhibition program has focused on the commissioning of new work from artists. Art in General resides in a six story building. It has two main gallery spaces, one on the sixth floor, and another in a street-level storefront known as the Project Space. The exhibition program focuses primarily on presenting artists’ work created through the New Commissions and Artist Residency Programs. When the commissioned artworks and projects are event-based, ephemeral or non-objects, special formats or programming are designed for the public to experience the work. The New Commissions Program, now the central focus of Art in General, has flourished since its launch in 2005. The program was created in response to New York City artists’ need of support during the initiation and early stages of their projects...

...Your goal is to write an essay showing how two subjects are either similar or different (not both). When comparing subjects, show how they are similar. When contrasting them, show how they are different. In a comparison/contrast paper, be sure to develop a thesis that includes words that signal comparisons, such as “although,” “even though,” “in spite of,” “except for,” “not withstanding,” or “but.” Also, use appropriate transitions to signal comparisons and link paragraphs within the body of your paper, such as “on the other hand,” “in contrast,” “similarly,” “also,” “both,” “even though,” and “in the same way.” In order for two things to be worth comparing, the two things should initially appear to be different. In order for two things to be worth contrasting, the two things should initially appear to be similar. Comparing and contrasting are ways of exploring the similarities and differences between two things. 'Compare and contrast' is often used as a development strategy for essay assignments but it's a helpful strategy for any important decisions you have to make. Generally speaking, comparing is showing the similarities, and contrasting is showing differences between two things that are related in some way. For example, you wouldn't compare/contrast reading a book to driving a car, but you would compare reading a book to reading with an e-reader.

...3.1 Explain how sales strategies can be developed in line with corporate objectives. Prior to answering this quesltion, it is essential to define the two key words on which the discussion shall be based. First, sales strategy refers to the concept that a company has about how it will achieve its marketing goals, in addition to clarifying the objective and the purpose of their business offerings (Weber 2006). This is not to be confused with sales tactics which are defined as the actions that a company takes to put its sales strategies into action. For example, differentiation is a sales strategy and putting differentiation features on a company’s offerings is a business tactic (James 2011). On the other hand, corporate objectives refer to the goals of the company as whole for example sales revenue figures, market share, and target markets, among others. To develop sales strategies in line with corporate objectives, a company can carry out the following procedure: First, the company must identify the corporate objectives which in this case involve increasing the size of the consumer market. Once this is done, the company must carry out a marketing audit to find out if the situation in the market will accommodate its sales strategies in liaison with the corporate objectives. The market analysis involves an external audit of the macro environment (Lancaster & Massingham 2010) to gauge whether its factors such as the political, economic, social-cultural, technological, legal, ecological...

...artists rejected for independent exhibitions. The Anonymous Society of Painters, Engravers, Sculptors, etc.; not only organized, but also participated in the first independent art exhibition that was held in 1874 ("Impressionism and Post-Impressionism," 2007-2015). This group included more than twenty famous artists and included Claude Monet and Auguste Renior. These artists didn't like to be restricted to painting in studios and drawing inspiration from past art, history, or mythology; as artists of the past were, they painted scenes from modern life and/or landscapes. Impressionist artists had a great understanding of nature of light and color theory. They were very literal with their paintings, they didn't vary from the scene in front of them. Take Monet's work, 'Impression, Sunrise' for example; he created this painting exactly as he saw it. He used visible brushstrokes to show exactly how the sunrise looked over the water that morning (Voorhies, October 2004). By 1886, however there were younger artists that felt the Impressionists didn't put the concentration on the subject matter like they should, instead focusing more on their technique and the effects of the natural light ("Post-Impressionism," n.d.). These artists became known as Post-Impressionists, a term coined by English artist Roger Fry in 1910 for an exhibition that he organized showing the different styles and interests of all of the artists featured in the exhibition. These artists wanted to break...

However, this technology had become a big challenge to the management in the motion picture industry value chain. This technology encourages the moviegoers to experience watching a movie at house with the same picture’s quality resolution and the sound’s effects as the theaters providing for audiences. The management dilemma is at maximizing their revenue and profit which falls into two difficult components; the uncontrollable and unpredicted revenue and limited profit. Because of the ticket price exposed to competition and each chain is serving different geographic market, thus the ticket price can’t be increased more. Also, the revenue streams components are limited and ticket sales revenue is the main contributor in the business of exhibition. Moreover, the cost of producing the movie is becoming higher.
