...your own research and ideas. • proves you have read and understand your sources. • establishes your work as a valid source and you as a competent researcher. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources and includes APA formatted references to the articles, books and resources (all which should have been found through the Liberty University Online Library) which one has compiled for a research assignment. Following each reference is a brief description and an evaluation of the source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to benefit the researcher and provide the content, relevance and quality of the sources. Do NOT simply cut and past the abstract as the annotation, as they are not the same. Abstracts are summaries of a source, whereas annotations also include a short summary. Abstracts include a critical aspect to note the source’s author (why should s/he be considered an expert) and they explain the usefulness of the research being performed. Along with being an excellent source for APA formatting guidelines, The Owl at Purdue has helpful information regarding annotated bibliographies and also provides helpful examples. You can expect to keep copies of the annotated bibliography...

An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document. Abstracts are extensively used in academic research where the concept of the executive summary would be meaningless.

NURU THE PROPOSAL There were 15 million discharge summaries produced for admissions into hospital last year. A staggering 80% of these were found to be inaccurate or incomplete and another 70% of these were reported as being severely delayed on a regular basis. This compromise to clinical care and patient safety is simply unacceptable. Our empirical market research has found that the majority of junior doctors, the principal users of discharge forms, were unhappy with the current systems in place. It has also been reported that on average junior doctors spend more time carrying out admin duties than in formal training and teaching sessions. There are electronic discharge systems present however, these have been described as insufficient as they lack comprehensive coding and in some circumstances...

...UW-Madison Writing Center Writer's Handbook offers advice on writing abstracts and answers questions such as: including: • What is an abstract? • Do abstracts vary by discipline? • What should an abstract include? • What should each section of the abstract look like? (objective, method, results, conclusion, title) • What if my project isn't finished or my results didn't turn out as expected? • How can I fit all of this into just 125 words? • How should I start writing my abstract? • What stylistic techniques will improve my abstract? • What kind of feedback should I get on my abstract? On the "Abstracts: Examples" page, you will also find sample Undergraduate Symposium abstracts from a variety of disciplines. What is an abstract? An abstract is a concise summary of a larger project (a thesis, research report, performance, service project, etc.) that concisely describes the content and scope of the project and identifies the project’s objective, its methodology and its findings, conclusions, or intended results. Remember that your abstract is a description of your project (what you specifically are doing) and not a description of your topic (whatever you’re doing the project on). It is easy to get these two types of description confused. Since abstracts are generally very short, it’s important that you don’t get bogged down in a summary of the entire background of your topic. As you are writing your abstract, stop at the end of every sentence and make sure you are summarizingthe...

...APA CHEAT SHEET A Guide to Getting It Together Jaycee Hower South Piedmont Community College Abstract A summary of your paper that introduces your reader to the topic you are about to discuss and its’ main points (Bullock, Goggin & Weinberg 2013, p562). There are 3 different types of major abstracts, there are Information Abstract, Descriptive Abstract & Proposal Abstract. Informative Abstracts state in one paragraph the essence of a whole paper about a study or a research project. That one paragraph must mention all the main points of parts of the paper: a description of the study or project, its methods, the results, and the conclusions. (Bullock, Goggin & Weinberg 2013, p150). Description Abstracts are usually much briefer then informative abstracts and provide much less information. Rather than summarizing the entire paper, a descriptive abstract functions more as a teaser, proving a quick overview that invites the reader to read the whole. And last but not least Proposal Abstracts contain the same basic information as informative abstracts, but their purpose is very different. You prepare proposal abstracts to persuade someone to let you write on a topic, pursue a project, conduct an experiment, or present a paper at a scholarly conference.

...it was also created in 1875, which gave me a clue. I think he created it to show the beauty of a woman. The second art piece was a painting by Anna Mary Robertson Moses (“Grandma Moses”). It was a scenic painting and was so beautiful. The title is Out on the Lake. The painting was oil on masonite. I really liked this technique. It showed texture and lots of different colors that caught my eye. It also caught my interest because it reminded me of me on my lake up at my cabin. The painting made you feel like you were there in the boat with the person in the painting and just enjoying nature. It was created in 1945 and I think it was created the show the elegance, purity, and calmness of nature. Last but definitely not least, I observed an abstract art work titled Time Shapes the Stalactite by Nancy Graves. This piece was created in 1991. This art piece was my favorite because it was beyond interesting. The way the artist used ways to create this picture was so...

...radical new directions in art—and shifted the art world's focus. Never a formal association, the artists known as "Abstract Expressionists" or "The New York School" did, however, share some common assumptions. Among others, artists such as Jackson Pollock (1912–1956), Willem de Kooning (1904–1997), Franz Kline (1910–1962), Lee Krasner (1908–1984), Robert Motherwell (1915–1991), William Baziotes (1912–1963), Mark Rothko (1903–1970), Barnett Newman (1905–1970), Adolph Gottlieb (1903–1974), Richard Pousette-Dart (1916–1992), and Clyfford Still (1904–1980) advanced audacious formal inventions in a search for significant content. Breaking away from accepted conventions in both technique and subject matter, the artists made monumentally scaled works that stood as reflections of their individual psyches—and in doing so, attempted to tap into universal inner sources. These artists valued spontaneity and improvisation, and they accorded the highest importance to process. Their work resists stylistic categorization, but it can be clustered around two basic inclinations: an emphasis on dynamic, energetic gesture, in contrast to a reflective, cerebral focus on more open fields of color. In either case, the imagery was primarily abstract. Even when depicting images based on visual realities, the Abstract Expressionists favored a highly abstracted mode. Context Abstract Expressionism developed in the context of diverse, overlapping sources and inspirations. Many of the young artists had...

...Primarily in New York in the early 1940’s, a group of artists developed a stylistic diverse collection of art that began a drastic new development in the artistic realm that guided/shifted the perception of art across the globe. Abstract expressionism broke away from the conventional thought in both subject matter and technique, changing the focus to a more inner spiritual expression of impulsiveness and improvisation; the work of abstract expressionist resisted the stylistic labeling that was commonly based upon dynamic movement in contrast to reflection with an open palette of color. Imagination and artistic creativity was the overall basis of abstract expressionism. Even when depicting realistic subject matter the artist utilized extremely spirited, messy brush stokes or no brushes at all, simply dripping/flinging paint onto the canvas with overlapping inspirational sources. Critics of this era did not viewed or even consider abstract expressionism as art, which is similar to every new artistic form that emerged before them. Many of the initial artists of this movement lived in New York and met in a tavern located in Greenwich Village, thus, the movement was also given the name The New York School. One of the most notorious members of this group was Jackson Pollock, who became so well known for his dip and splatter form that many gave him the nickname “Jack the Dripper;” Pollock utilized drips and lines to stimulate emotion versus portraying distinctive subject matter...

...Alfonso Angel Yangco Ossorio (August 2, 1916 – December 5, 1990) was a Filipino American abstract expressionist artist who was born in Manila in 1916 to wealthy Filipino parents from the province of Negros Occidental. His heritage was Hispanic, Filipino, and Chinese. Between the ages of eight and thirteen, he attended school in England. At age fourteen, he moved to the United States. Ossorio attended Portsmouth Priory (now Portsmouth Abbey School) in Rhode Island, graduating in 1934. From 1934 to 1938, he studied fine art at Harvard University and then continued his studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. He became an American citizen in 1933 and served as a medical illustrator in the United States Army during World War II. Ossorio's early work was surrealist. He was an admirer and early collector of the paintings of Jackson Pollock who counted him as a good friend, and whose works influenced and were influenced by Ossorio. In the early 1950s, Ossorio was pouring oil and enamel paints onto canvas in the style of the first abstract expressionist movement in the US. In 1950, he was commissioned by the parish of St. Joseph in Victorias City, Negros Occidental in the Philippines to do a mural which would be known as "The Angry Christ" to complete the reconstruction of the church built by the Czech architect Antonin Raymond. Ossorio had this to say in a 1968 interview. "(The Angry Christ) is a continual last judgment with the sacrifice of the mass that is the continual reincarnation...

...Nazi oppression, many leading artist fled Europe for the United States. and settled in New York in 1945 (ArtForms 397). Devastated and scarred by the aftermath of war the artists settled in New York and joined “The New York School” and became a huge influence to other artist’s in a new art movement called Abstract Expressionism (“ArtForms 397”). There was no certain rules or characterisitics in Abstract Expressionism however, the artist’s shared an interest in painting as a way to express their subconscious. Abstract Expressionism was a movement strongly influenced by Surrealism which was started by Andre Breton in 1924. Andre Breton (1896-1966), was originally a Dadaist, which was a group of artist that painted silly, distorted, non conformed paintings to depict their rage and rebellion against the war. In 1924, Breton founded the Surrealism Art Movement, which were artist’s who based their art on feelings, dreams and memories. In his online article “In Search for Nothingness”, Charles Moffat tells us that the Abstract Expressionist’s like the Surrealist wanted to express their subconscious mind with their art. Brooks 2 Some of the most important figures in Abstract Expressionism was Mark Rothko, and William De Kooning however, the most powerful influence was Jackson Pollock. According to Patrick Frank, in the late 1940’s Jackson Pollock introduced a new technique called action painting (ArtForms 397). In 1950 he created a large drip painting called, Autumn Rhythm...

...Abstract Art Rant Hello and good morning everyone, I’m John Bateman and like most sane British citizens I have become enlightened to the greatest con of all time. Who would’ve thought that a scribble, a squiggle and a splat could’ve brought so much pandemonium to the world of modern design? Yes, I am of course referring to the defilement that is abstract art. The other day I was in my art lesson when, just for a laugh, I asked my teacher what she thought of abstract art; of course she began a tedious moan about how “you can’t tame art; art is FREE!” and how it’s meant to evoke an emotional response. Startled by her reply I soon realised (as I’m sure you do) that I did in fact have a very strong emotional response to abstract art; of utter loathing. It’s usually just a poxy little shape throw onto to a canvas sprinkled with a few blobs and then thrust under the nose of a (presumably near-blind) gallery owner. I mean, how these artists can expect us to relate to their paintings emotionally when they just use simple geometric shapes is a mystery; I’m emotionally connected with my brother and my mum but neither is a triangle nor a cube. But it’s not just about what abstract art is, it’s about what it represents. I never understood the whole thinking outside the box idea; yes I know that once every one hundred years you need some crazy thinker with typical shaggy grey hair and inch thick glasses to help us on to the next stage in humanity, like the invention of the wheel or the...
