...Paul Jackson Pollock was an artist who is most famed for his “Drip Paintings” which is the style of painting that he adopted between 1947 – 1950. Pollock was born in 1912 and died in 1956 after a fatal accident after he had already adopted the reputation of being one of the most influential abstract expressionist artists of his time. The painting that I have chosen to do my contextual analysis on is one of his earliest drip paintings called the “Full Fathom Five” “Full Fathom Five” was created on an oil canvas, with the dimensions of 129.2 x 79 cm, which was laid out onto the floor in order for him to do his drip painting technique. The painting consisted of an under layer, which he created with use of a brush and a palate knife in order to create texture, a top layer, which makes use of his drip painting technique whereby he pours industrial or house paint out along a stick whilst moving his body and in this layer he also embedded different knick...

...his solo exhibitions and his first piece that was entered into a museum collection. This piece of art was made before the artist discovered his famous drip style of painting that he became later famous for. The technique used to create this piece is far different from the artist later work. This piece features heavy black and white line drawn by the artist onto his canvas verses the light splatters of paint featured in his later pieces. Among the major differences found in this piece versus works from Pollock’s drip period are at the brushstrokes. During his drip period Pollock used sticks as a method of transporting paint onto his canvasses, in this piece you can see the strokes from the classic paintbrush was used. Secondly the subject matter also can be seen as a difference between the two periods in the artist’s professional life. During the period when “She Wolf” was created most artists including Pollock were focusing and exploring themes of a primitive or mythological background. “She Wolf” is said to be the story of the birth of a mythological Roman...

...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 of God coming into this world. And it worked out beautifully because the services take...

...Jackson Pollock: Autumn Rhythm The artist I have chosen to research is Jackson Pollock. Pollock was one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century. He created artwork during some of the hardest times in the country, the Great Depression and World War II. In this paper I will be talking about the life of Jackson Pollock and focusing on his piece of artwork called Autumn Rhythm (Number 30). Jackson Pollock was born January 28, 1912 in Cody, Wyoming. He was the youngest of 5 brothers and his oldest brother had a major art influence on him. His family moved around a couple times before ending up in California where Pollock was enrolled at Manual Arts High School in Los Angeles. During his time there, he was expelled two times before he ended up dropping out. Around age 18, he moved to New York to live with his oldest brother. While he was there he started to...

...week assignment focuses on two artists Grant Wood and Jackson Pollock, whom works were said to representative the “American Spirit”. Pollock’s style of painting and the similar works of his fellow colleague led to the term of action painting. While Wood’s personal style of painting was inspired by the Renaissance period or Renaissance artists, mainly Durer and van Eyck. But if both artists art works representative the “American Spirit” wouldn’t that mean also means that their techniques are similar as well? In actuality both artists’ styles are very different but express the same “ideas” just in their own ways. On one hand we have Grant Wood who was a Midwestern American whom studied art in Paris in the early 1920’s. After years of unsuccessful attempts Wood moved back the Midwest and dedicated himself to studying the characteristic of the land and it’s people in their daily life’s thus bring in the “American Spirit” expression which could be seen in his famous work American Gothic. This painting was inspired when Wood saw a farm hose build in a local version of Gothic style. In the American Gothic, Wood painted in the Gothic house that inspired him and the farmer where inspired from his sister and doctor. Now on the other have we also have Jackson Pollock who was an innovator of Abstract Expressionism. He later studied Navajo sand painting, psychology, and other variety of art for ways to express primal human nature. Pollock painted Autumn Rhythm with a style that would later...

...POLLOCK Characters: Jackson Pollock He was an American painter who was known for his abstract expressionist movement. He became popular with his paintings that had this unique concept using different colors and he always wanted to experiment with his creations. Jackson started to make a living by exhibiting his paintings in occasional group art shows. He lived with Lee Krasner after his brother, Charles Pollock, left for Connecticut with his family. This was then he was discovered to have a neurotic disorder. Lee and Jackson were married with each other but never bore a child. Jackson died in an alcohol-related car accident at the age of 44. Charles Pollock Charles Pollock is the older brother of Jackson Pollock, who was also an abstract expressionist painter. He was known for his paintings having concepts of social realism although; he turned to abstract expressionism which was partly influenced by his brother, Jackson. He and Jackson were both influenced by their mentor in painting, Thomas Hart Benton. Charles was a great influence for Jackson since they lived together in an apartment with his family, but experienced a lot of troubles. His wife would usually tell him to let Jackson move out of the apartment. Lee Krasner ...

...“Triumph of the avant-garde” The term “avant-garde” was originally used in reference to the advancement of a military unit. In the late 18th century and into the 19th century, a movement began in art and architecture that was intended to do just that. Artists were beginning to move forward in their expression of ideas. They were trying new techniques, and testing the boundaries of what was acceptable. These avant-garde artists were beginning to challenge art itself and its very definition. Up to his point, art was about expression, but the expression was limited by rules and governed by the very specific influences of period. For the purposes of success and acceptance, most artists up to this point conformed to the “norm”. Art was about making a specific product that was pleasing to the eye. But during the late 18th century, political and social changes were also changing the way artists were expressing themselves. New techniques were being introduced. In fact, much of art became less about the final product, and more about the technique and process itself. Artists were being less influenced by trends, and more influenced by the desire for social and political change. Artists were also beginning to focus more on expressing their own personal thoughts, feelings, and ideas. A great example of this is the synthetism used by Paul Gauguin. With it, he synthesized the observation of subjects in nature with his own personal feelings about the subjects. An example...

...honest of his subjects. Renoir’s paintings contain vibrant colors and light and airy brush strokes that come together beautifully. The Luncheon of the Boating Party in its entirety appears to be a very busy painting. When a closer look is take you notice that the activities are detailed and add a sense of lively hood to the painting. This painting shows how Renoir saw his world at the time and that he was a very detail orientated artist. The clothing styles, activities occurring, and food being consumed was drawn in such a way that it felt as if you were there experiencing the scene yourself. Lastly Jackson Pollock’s painting Autumn Rhythm is a perfect example of abstract impressionists. Pollock has a different approach when creating his work; He liked to be “inside” his paintings and would lay his canvas on the floor so that he could work from all four side. Pollock used a technique that not many others did, if any, by taking his paint and pouring it onto the canvas until he created his desired results. He didn’t use traditional painting utensils such as brushes, instead he chose to...

...they use not only a brush to show texture and light, but also dots or blobs. Pierre-Auguste Renoir’s painting “The Luncheon of the Boating Party” does not show smooth clear images, the painting has more of a blur or smearing type of look with the use of blobs to show light. I would say Impressionism does look as if created with color pencils or oil crayons. The American form which has a look completely different than the styles of Neoclassical and Impressionism is the style developed by Jackson Pollock in the 20th century is known as Abstract Expressionism. Jackson Pollock’s painting of “Autumn Rhythm (Number 30)” shows more splash in this style of painting. The painting does not give, or maybe I just do not see, a central point in Pollock’s painting of Autumn Rhythm (Number 30). Jackson Pollock’s use of Abstract Expression does not have or use any type of traditional methods to his style. Traditional methods would include painting tools such as paint brushes and an easel, Jackson Pollock’s...

...The Benefits of Playing Video Games Isabela Granic, Adam Lobel, and Rutger C. M. E. Engels Radboud University Nijmegen Video games are a ubiquitous part of almost all children’s and adolescents’ lives, with 97% playing for at least one hour per day in the United States. The vast majority of research by psychologists on the effects of “gaming” has been on its negative impact: the potential harm related to violence, addiction, and depression. We recognize the value of that research; however, we argue that a more balanced perspective is needed, one that considers not only the possible negative effects but also the benefits of playing these games. Considering these potential benefits is important, in part, because the nature of these games has changed dramatically in the last decade, becoming increasingly complex, diverse, realistic, and social in nature. A small but significant body of research has begun to emerge, mostly in the last five years, documenting these benefits. In this article, we summarize the research on the positive effects of playing video games, focusing on four main domains: cognitive, motivational, emotional, and social. By integrating insights from developmental, positive, and social psychology, as well as media psychology, we propose some candidate mechanisms by which playing video games may foster real-world psychosocial benefits. Our aim is to provide strong enough evidence and a theoretical rationale to inspire new programs of research on the largely unexplored...

...orLabor Unions: Aging Dinosaur or Sleeping Giant? The Labor Movement and Unionism Background and Brief History Higher wages! Shorter workdays! Better working conditions! These famous words echoed throughout the United States beginning in 1790 with the skilled craftsmen (Dessler, 1997, p. 544). For the last two-hundred years, workers of all trades have been fighting for their rights and seeking methods of improving their living standards, working conditions, and job security (Boone, 1996,p.287). As time went by, these individuals came to the conclusion that if they work together collectively, they would grow stronger to get responses to their demands. This inspired into what we know today as labor unions. A labor union is an organized group of workers whose purpose is to increase wages and influence other job conditions for its members (Parkin, 1998,p.344). These labor unions can be divided into two types: craft unions and industrial unions (World, 1998). A craft union is a union whose membership is restricted to workers who possess an identifiable skill (Robinson, 1985,p. 69). These members tend to be better educated and trained, and more unified because of common interests (World, 1998). An example of a craft union is the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union (World, 1998). On the other hand, an industrialized union is a group of workers who have a variety of skills and job types but work for the same industry (Parkin, 1998, p. 344). Unions of this type include...
