...He states that “Toward the end of his career, Warhol seems to have successfully integrated the two halves of the dialectic of consumption, his existence between what he once called ‘his favorite places to go’, the department store and the museum.” Buchloh speaks of Warhol’s “strategically brilliant blagues” and strives to determine what the painter’s schemes owe to modernism. He wonders about techniques as much as subject matter and sometimes seems to be defining the postmodern without actually saying that’s what he’s doing—which is postmodern I suppose. Although Benjamin did not talk about a specific piece he includes great point that some of the other artists did not talk about. He is an art critique with great input and much more...

...Samantha Barreau College of Mount Saint Vincent English 110: Writing in Context I Professor Rogers Close Analysis; “Girl before the Mirror” For this essay I chose a painting by Pablo Picasso called “Girl before a Mirror”, according to the research I had done, this painting is in connection to his mistress Marie- Therese Walter. It displays several view, depending on who’s interpreting the painting. Pablo Picasso became one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century and the creator (with someone named Georges Braque) of Cubism. A painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and stage designer, Picasso was considered radical within his work. The poem that is showed in connection to this painting is called “Before the Mirror” by John Updike. This poem is the poets emotions, thoughts and views based on the painting. John Updike was an award-winning writer of fiction, essays, and reviews, John Updike has also been writing poetry for most of his life. He was inspired by his mother, who was also a writer. For me, “Girl before the Mirror’ is a painting that talks about reflections of one’s self or how we see ourselves versus how others see us even the duality of our natures. There are so many levels your creativity and critical thinking can go in regards to Picasso’s intent with this painting. I can see this particular Picasso painting in a philosophy class where people are wrestling or conversing what the exact meaning of this painting is. The painting...

...Conservation Strategy which might pave the way for a concerted effort to improve the conservation status of heritage collections in Australia. In relation to cultural diversity, the statement of policy (Policy Statement 2) was expressed as follows: The Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Governments acknowledge the diversity of cultures of the Australian people which should be reflected in the definition and identification of movable cultural heritage. Expressed in this way, the policy statement does little more than state the obvious that Australia is a culturally diverse community and that efforts, unspecified, should be made to ensure that justice is done to this demographic and social reality in the programs which are developed by museums, libraries and archives to build collections and to provide a range of services and products based on these collections. Like motherhood, the statement is unchallengable. Who could disagree with it? What it does not do is to consider the challenges of cultural diversity faced by governments and the collecting institutions which derive their mandate and their funding...

... Rio de Janeiro has that special ability of brightening up my day simply from the memories that come up as I recall my family and my trip to this unforgettably Marvelous City in 2013. My expectations of this place were based off previous knowledge of its wonderful scenery, which was the main purpose for our destination choice. I soon discovered though, that Rio is a magical place, full of surprises at every corner as smells, touch and taste even, add to the experience of viewing such amazing landscapes. It became a memorable place in no time, as it provided a perfect setting for the formation of pleasant moments with my family. I sensed a bond created between this location and myself throughout the trip, which is understood through the analysis of the place attachment theory. Each of three dimensions in the PPP model used by Scannel and Gifford influenced the way in which this strong connection was formed. The aspects, person, process and place demonstrate how one’s cultural background could create more powerful links between an individual and their immediate environment. The use of space as a method of interaction, or the proxemics theory, also shows reasons why Rio de Janeiro became so memorable to me by explaining how distinct distances are used by different cultures in order to effectively communicate. The Unforgettable Marvelous City Throughout my life I had never visited too many places in my own country because it is so expensive. In 2013 though, my family decided it...

...Fake Memories of Me by Cathyn McKenna Copyright 2016 ===== 1 September, 1853. Our parent's summer estate outside Arkangel'sk. You, 17, freshly returned from your second year at the Tsar's Imperial Riding Academy, your eyes all aglow with the thoughts of your Commission, two years hence, but still completely dominating your thoughts and words. Me, 25, already bored of The Social Circle, as all heirs were obligated to navigate, the slow gyration of palaces, dances, hunting, small talk, and the never ending search for a marital partner only slightly above your level, at least in income, but certainly not prestige. Rumors of war tainting everything. There was that one bright perfect day. In a week you would be back at the Academy. In a week, I'd be heading for Nizhny Novgorod to romance the Count's daughter, the insufferable thing. But on that day, the last good weather before May, we were brothers again. We drank, we danced, we fenced, we talked deep philosophy and shallow gossip, but we were brothers. Brothers again after so long apart, and so soon to be parted. Who could have known that a year later to the day, a fresh-faced Lieutenant of Horse, newly commissioned, and commanding 65 fellows, would lead a charge to silence a platoon of English cannon, those same cannon smashing the Lieutenant and his men to bits instantly, and mothers across Velikaya Rus smashed for the rest of their lives. I sit now at your cenotaph, as I have every year for the last nineteen...

The twelve stages of the hero's journey monomyth following the summary by Christopher Vogler (originally compiled in 1985 as a Disney studio memo): 1. TheOrdinary World, 2. The Call to Adventure, 3. Refusal of the Call, 4. Meeting with the Mentor, 5. Crossing theThreshold to the "special world", 6. Tests, Allies and Enemies, 7. Approach to the Innermost Cave, 8. The Ordeal, 9. Reward, 10. The Road Back, 11. The Resurrection, 12. Return with the Elixir. In narratology and comparative mythology, the monomyth, or the hero's journey, is the common template of a broad category of tales that involve a hero who goes on anadventure, and in a decisive crisis wins a victory, and then comes home changed or transformed.[1] The concept was introduced by Joseph Campbell in The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), who described the basic narrative pattern as follows: A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.[2] Campbell and other scholars, such as Erich Neumann, describe narratives of Gautama Buddha, Moses, and Christ in terms of the monomyth. Critics argue that the concept is too broad...

...Constructivism (learning theory) Constructivism is a theory to explain how knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that had been developed by experiences. It has its roots in cognitive psychology and biology and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways knowledge is created in order to adapt to the world. Constructs are the different types of filters we choose to place over our realities to change our reality from chaos to order. Von Glasersfeld describes constructivism as “a theory of knowledge with roots in philosophy, psychology, and cybernetics”.[1] Constructivism has implications to the theory of instruction. Discovery learning, hands-on, experiential, collaborate, project-based, tasked-based are a number of application that base teaching and learning. Constructivists • John Dewey (1859–1952) • Maria Montessori (1870–1952) • Władysław Strzemiński (1893–1952) • Lev Vygotsky (1896–1934) • Jean Piaget (1896–1980) • George Kelly (1905–1967) • Heinz von Foerster (1911–2002) • Ernst von Glasersfeld (1917–2010) • Paul Watzlawick (1921–2007) • Edgar Morin (1921–) • Humberto Maturana (1928–) • Laszlo Garai (1935–) • David A.
