Summary of the personal experience during the drawing activity When I first looked at the plan, the first thing that came to my mind was how I could draw the front house view with a plan. The reason is the plan is a flat 2D view from the top of the house rather than from the front of the house. It shows not all the illustrations are the same even they represent the same subject matter. Due to the level of viewing, I started to look at the plan from the left to the right which can be entirely different when someone else looked at the same plan. However, not all the parts of the plan caught the same amount of the attention. The reason is the exercise is to draw the front view of the house. As a result, I spent a lot more time on the rooms and areas in the front. In contrast, I spent very little time on those areas like kitchen, alfresco etc in the rear as I did not believe they were required for this exercise. During the process of understanding the plan, I was constructing the relationships of all the graphic objects in my mind. For example, I was focus on the...

...feelings and ideas that are generated from reviewing the piece of work. I am visually drawn to pencil drawings. Kolliwtz’s drawing’s of Hand to Forehead is an example of one of my visual attractions. You begin to wonder what she is feeling, and then as you analyze those ideas you begin to have an emotional response to the artwork. In this drawing I think she is illustrating a state of frustration. Then Kolliwtz’s Mother with Child in Arms, has the same visual attraction but a different emotional response. You have a happy playful emotional response that is generated from the content in the drawing. Color patterns that are bold or soothing also attract me. Mucha’s The Moon, the Evening Star, the Polstar, and the Morning Star, is an illustration of a color pattern that catches my attention. Unknown what each of the girls are expressing or the difference in the stars, I am drawn to the painting and feel light on my feet while experiencing it. I can appreciate bold expressions and messages in art as well. The content of Bottle Nude, by Margritte, isn’t for everyone to see and appreciate. The uniqueness in expression creates an interest in what you are supposed to see. She could be showing that a woman’s body is shaped like a bottle. Or there could be an underlying message that has a much different meaning. Open for each of our interpretations. The walls and mirrored image keep me interested in what else is the artist is saying. I don’t have an emotional response to this piece...

...first wife was Nellie McCormack who survived till 24 years and ended when she died. Dorothy Wadman was his second wife and did not have any children. He had a complicated relationship with his parents. He was enthusiastic about drawing from his young age James Montgomery Flagg is generally regarded by art historians as an extraordinary talented child, because at the young age of twelve, he sold his first illustration to a well known magazine. From 1898-1900 he studied fine art in London and Paris with his friend, he believed that artists were born with talents, not trained, and counted his formal art training as a waste of time. After that he came back to the United States where he created countless illustrations for books, magazine covers, political and humorous cartoons, advertising, and spot drawings. After a few short years later, Flagg was already an employee of illustrator for two main humor magazines. Although he created some achievement early in his career as a painter, illustration was his true passion. His earliest books illustrations, such as Yankee Girls Abroad (1900) and An Orchard Princess (1905), were done in paint. He had started to illustrate with pen and ink in 1906, a distinction that he would be defined by in the years to come in works such as Simon the Jester...

...UCF alumnus Matthew Weller launched his first art zine on Sunday, April 24. "Today," the subject of the zine, was the fruit of a three-year labor of love, which sought to capture timeliness and timelessness. Weller started a blog called The Vinyl Warhol as part of his social media class at the Nicholson School of Communication in 2013. Weller was assigned to run a blog and publish at least seven posts on it. Seeking a subject, Weller decided to channel his love for the Orlando music scene, and he wrote posts about the bands he met and the shows he attended. While many students would discard the blog at the end of the semester and move on, Weller turned in the assignment and then kept attending shows and updating his blog. “I thought maybe I’ll write about music, and now it’s something I’ve been doing for like two years,” Weller said. While writing stories for the blog, Weller found himself on tour with local bands, and he got the idea to publish a zine. Weller describes a zine as “a DIY magazine,” a cheaply made publication printed using a photocopier and construction paper. Weller’s zines contained a compilation of photos and journal entries of Weller’s time with bands he accompanied on tour. On March 31, Weller created a blog post, announcing that those zines he produced were mere warm-ups and that the Vinyl Warhol would be producing quarterly art zines featuring essays, photo galleries and poetry. The first issue, titled “Today,” is issue one of a four-part series centered...

...Unit 69: Exploring concept art for computer games What is concept art? Concept art is a form of illustration used to convey an idea for use in video games and animation before it is put into the final production. Concept art can also be referred to as visual development or concept design. Uses of concept art in games development There are many different types of levels in the production process: • Initial concept art initial concept art can be started from verbally or visually the artist will sometimes receive a rough concept design and told to refine and develop the concept further. A concept artist is an individual who generates a visual design for an item, characters, or area for game levels i am going to focus on thumbnails but there are more like storyboards and quick illustrations Thumbnails With thumbnails you start by thinking about a character that you would like to produce. like what weapon, body shape and poses that you would like your charter to have. Once that has been decided you can start with some ruff sketches. Image 1 This part of the process is the main creative part as you have what you charter will look like. These images do not have to be clean just a loose guide to show you what they will eventually look like. Chances are that you will probably only like about 2 out off maybe 10 that you make. but you try to illustrate with black lines what direction that the body will take shape. Image 2 You can use pretty much any element of character...

...1. BINGO! BINGO! is a kind of get-to-know icebreaker for the beginning of a class. You need pens or pencils and photocopies of BINGO! tables for each student. On the paper teacher should draw a table of at least 5x5 with some clues on each. These could be describing “color of eyes”, “an experience of a foreign journey” or “a dangerous experience” and etc. Distributing the papers among students, they are requested to move around, asking each other questions which hovers around the topics in each box. If the information in the box matches the person, they write down the name of the person. The game takes about 10 minutes and the first pupil who completes the table in across, down or cross is the winner. At the end, each student talks about his or her classmates and the information gathered. If no one achieves the BINGO!, students sit back and tell the class about the tips they jotted down. Students should be fostered to use a variety of tenses and vocabulary which evaluates both grammar and lexical resources.

...On typical school days, a person may or may not have a good resource that creates a positive classroom environment to make the school day increasingly productive and vigorous. However, some days are not considered to be a “good day.” There are many components that make a great day. I have come to understand that the following components a good school day must consist of is a good teacher, a great deal of food served, and positive classroom behavior. Throughout my high school years, I often had poor school days not always as good as they seemed because the lack of a caring teacher, however, when my previous supportive, loving teacher came in my presence it made my day better. For example, I remember a typical day at school when I was struggling with solving a math problem. I did not have any idea or thought on what steps I should take in order to get an accurate answer. As I sat there for about five minutes, searching for examples to gain an understanding of the concept, I still had no answer to the problem. However, when my teacher, Ms. Lau had acknowledged the problem I encountered, she took the initiative to assist me not only with that particular problem, but in general. Ever since that incident, my teacher has been an outstanding support system for me. She has helped me in ways that aid me to figure out how to solve problems effectively when I approached them. During the next couple of days, when I was given an assignment, I was able to use strategies she had taught me previously...

Exercise 1 (The Effect of Safety Training on Accidents, p. 127). Losses due to industrial accidents can be quite substantial in large companies. Accordingly, many companies provide safety training to their workers in an effort to reduce accidents. They are often interested in learning how effective their safety training programs are. Excel file SAFETY.xls contains safety data from a particular company collected on a monthly basis over five years (60 months) on the following variables: • Y. . . losses due to accidents (in £s per month), • X. . . hours of safety training provided to each worker per month.

...Composition and Literary Interpretation 21 April 2012 Illustration of Pride Pride is an individual feeling that can be connected to anything that a person feels is significant to them. “A Raisin in the Sun” is an excellent example of the illustration of pride as it paints the picture of the theme of pride differently for every character involved. The dreams of each member of the Younger family are connected to what makes them feel proud of their home, family, jobs and even their place in society. The play was named from the poem “Dream Deferred” (Booth & Mays, 2010). The poem examines the possibility of what happens when a dream does not come to fruition. The first presentation of the Younger family is a picture of poverty as the family begins the day awaking from different places in a tiny apartment and shuffling out into the main hall to fight for a turn in the shared bathroom. The apartment holds as assortment of tired, worn out furnishing that have seen much better times. This seems to be a mirror image of the family members as they come into the story. Each family member is unique and possesses a different personal quality. Ruth seems tired and weary, Travis is young and full of hope, not yet realizing his place in society and being a little naïve; Walter has a master plan to break out of the current situation but seems reckless and unprepared for his dreams. Beneatha seems to be very motivated in life as she studies to be a doctor but has a political agenda for almost...

...My Friend We make friends through different phases in our life. Although true friendships can begin very quickly, they do take time to build into lasting and valuable relationships. I met a true friend in my workplace. We spend lot of great time together and our friendship had endured through many years. My friend is a rare person to be with because he is funny, friendly, and faithful. First of all, one of my friend’s exceptional traits is being funny. My friend has a very good sense of humor and always has a way of saying something funny about anything. For instance, when we were together in a church service and we have this pastor who was more than 6-foot tall and weighs about 400 pounds. He asked me what would people say if he enters a room for the first time. In a low voice, he told me: “Oh, my God!’ Also, my friend is keeping a list of jokes he learned in a pocket notebook. So whatever the occasion and whatever the topic, my friend always have the joke of the moment. Once, we were discussing with a friend about rounding off numbers. He told us about a farmer who counted 196 cows in the pasture but when he rounded them off to his yard, he had 200. My friend also has the ability to mimic in a fun way the personality of many known people. For example, he can mimic the dancing steps of Michael Jackson, the facial expressions of Jim Carrey, how Donald Trump talks, and many others. In addition to being funny, my friend is also very friendly. It’s amazing to note...

...Benji Smith The Problem at Reactor Number Three There are many dangerous effects of an overheated nuclear reactor. It can lead to a huge nuclear meltdown such as the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, killing thousands and affecting millions. It can also have a much more minimal effect, still being very serious. A minimal overheating of reactor number three is exactly what happened at the Oconee Power Plant last Tuesday. This report will reveal the causes for this disaster. While not trying to blame anything or anyone for this occurrence, it is important to know how it occurred. Nuclear power plants run at excessively high temperatures. For this reason they are built close to a body of water which is used to cool down the blazing reactors. The Oconee plant is built beside the deep waters of Lake Keowee. This fall was preceded by drought with extremely high temperatures. This lack in rainfall accompanied by the above-average temperatures lowered the water level in Lake Keowee by twenty-five feet and raised the average temperature of the water by eleven degrees Fahrenheit. While the low level and high temperature of the water could not, by itself, allow the reactor to overheat, it did force the water cooling pumps to work harder and slower. This did not provide for the preferable amount or temperature of water to flow. The radio-active uranium used to create electricity is where the heat of a nuclear reactor comes from. The more uranium present leads to more heat to be dealt...

...Timothy Lee Professor Woodard English 110-08 3/9/2014 The Dangers of Religious Hypocrisy Merriam-Webster’s defines the word hypocrite as “a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue and religion, and a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings.” Although many have fallen into the category of being a hypocrite, adding a religious aspect can make that person into a dangerous and distrustful figure. Religious hypocrisy is dangerous because it can and has led to distrust in friendships, poor parenting, and even wars hurting both the hypocrite and the religion. One dangerous aspect of religious hypocrisy is that it can destroy friendships. For example, a friend, who continues to commit adultery and is seen at their religious establishment condemning those who commit the same offense, hurts both the religious establishment and the friend’s reputation. His or her words, although right in the religion’s eyes, would be less righteous in the congregation’s eyes. His or her words to convince someone not to commit adultery are significantly weakened because that very person speaking those words commits adultery themselves. Another example is a friend who constantly steals yet denies it, preaching that his or her beliefs are against stealing. This person is hurting his or her beliefs by making themselves a thief and his or her religion by making their religions a shield for thieves. Another dangerous aspect of religious hypocrisy is that it...

...My Incompetent Boss Over the years I have worked with many people. Most of these people were pleasant to work with, real team players. However some of the people I worked with made my blood boil, constantly making the job difficult. But there was one person I will never forget, Jeff Lander. Jeff Lander was the most incompetent person I have ever worked with. Jeff made me lose money, constantly complained and would try to get people he did not like fired. Jeff Lander made me lose money on a daily basis. To being with, I was a cleaner for Shawnee Villas resort in the Poconos, Jeff was my inspector. Because Jeff would not arrive on time, I was forced to wait for him. Jeff was responsible for telling me what houses I had to clean. I waited 10 minutes, 20 minutes and hour, still no Jeff. This was extremely frustrating since I got paid by the amount of villas I completed in eight hours. When Jeff finally arrived, he did not have the proper paper work. I asked what happened to it and he proceeded to tell me some long story about how his girl friend threw it out the window while they were arguing. I did not care, I just wanted to start working already. But I was forced to wait even longer while he went to the main office to get new paper work. Once we were finally ready to go, Jeff drove all of the cleaners to the villa’s, at least I thought he was. He wanted to making a quick stop to the deli and get coffee, the stop was not quick. As I walked in the store I heard Jeff demanding...
