...In Chris Ofili’s Holy Virgin Mary, 1996, he uses many different materials. Some of his used materials include acrylic, oil, paper collage, glitter, map pins, elephant dung, and others. All of the materials provide a unique end result that help intrigue people to learn more about his painting. This painting dominantly included the colors yellow, brown, and blue.

Ofili’s medium helps the viewer to see the Virgin in a way that is not seen by many. He uses many different mediums but one that intrigues the viewer the most was the elephant dung.

...Alison Robinson Art 11 Prof. Justin Campoy Controversial art exhibit What makes a painting controversial? Maybe something that attacks our religious concepts can be controversial; maybe anything that contains nude matter is controversial, or maybe causes a great debate. Well, none of this is wrong because people have general norms related to such matters. Paintings often become controversial when it goes against commonly accepted norms. Throughout history audiences have been offended and outraged by paintings that were socially, religiously or politically inappropriate. Artists used subject matters that were a taboo in social situations. This could be a matter relating to one human being or nudity or addressing a complicated moral issue. The artworks I’ve chosen are all paintings, sculptures, or performance pieces from history that were considered controversial, and by artists who weren’t afraid to stand out. The first piece of art I chose for my exhibit is by Georgia O'Keeffe. It is titled “Blue and Green Music”, 1919/21, and she chose to use Oil on canvas. It measures at 58.4 x 48.3 cm (23 x 18 in.) Although she had not yet visited Europe, Georgia O’Keeffe was exposed to Modernism through exhibitions at Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery 291 in New York and her studies at the University of Virginia and Columbia University Teacher’s College. She was drawn to the theories of the Russian Expressionist painter...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Information The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli (Matschie, 1904), a subspecies of the western gorilla, Gorilla gorilla, is found in contiguous forest patches bordering South-Southern Nigeria and South-Western Cameroon, an area recognized as a biodiversity hotspot characterized by species diversity and endemism (Edet, 2011). The subspecies is one of the most critically endangered primates of Africa (Oates et al., 2008; IUCN, 2013). The subspecies is also one of the world’s 25 most endangered primates (Mittermeier et al., 2009). As humans extend their land use, Cross River gorilla habitat is rapidly disappearing, and this may have adverse effects on number of individuals within the subspecies. The Cross River gorilla, Gorilla gorilla diehli, chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes vellorosus) and drill (Mandrillus leucophaeus), though legally protected by the Endangered Species Decree 11 of 1985, are some of the primates hunted for bushmeat and other purposes (Edet, 2011). The Major threat to the survival of the subspecies is lack of thorough conservation strategy necessary for its protection. The survival of this endangered species and ecosystems depends on long-term participation and understanding of local populations (Oates, 1999). Due to the close relationship between cultural diversity and biodiversity, traditional knowledge systems play an important role when developing species conservation and management strategies (Caldecott...
