...blue sky with two other red sailboats and purple steam boats. The enormous pink cloud and the light blue sky is reflected into the sea and the purple sailboat has a dark reflection in the sea as well. The sailboat is in the center of the painting while the cloud is above and behind the sailboat. The other sailboats are to the right and behind the main sailboat and the steam boats are all the way to the right in the far distance. The time of day in the work, which can be determined from the color of the cloud and sky, appears to be sunset and the sun is off canvas at the top left corner. The viewer is meant to be looking at this view of the boats and massive cloud from land and to be peering at the landscape from the very edge of the water due to no land being shown. The primary focus of the painting is the sailboat that is located within the foreground of the painting. The focus divides the painting nearly symmetrically, the sky and the lake are almost even and the boat is right in the center to keep the painting balanced. The sailboat also in a way creates a dark arrow that makes the eye go to the pink cloud. The painting contains primary colors (blue, red, and yellow). There are many hues of purple for darker clouds, pink for the cloud, light greens for the sea and sail, various blues for the sky and shadow for the pink cloud, some dark reds for the sailboats and dark purple for the steam boats in distance for contrast, and...

...taken from us very early and swiftly. All of us were so sad and we really felt the loss of his passing. He has a good paying job as an engineer in the Bureau of Fire. He and my father are first cousins but they treat each other just like brothers because they lived and grow up together in lola’s house. My sisters and I considered him as our second father because he cares for us too. He is a very good person. It was four years ago when he passed away. He joke around at times at we always laughed at that. He’s the kind of person that makes you laugh and smile even after a very long and tired day, like he wants to see the smiles and laughs of the person in his surroundings and the ones he loved. Until now, we still remember him as our tatay and we really missed him so much. It was hard for us because he’s the person that makes you feel happy out of the blue, like he’s the life of the party. Even though he’s not here on earth with us anymore but I know he’s just watching us from above and I still can feel his presence especially if I’m with one of his children. He will always stay in our hearts and mind forever. Whenever someone open up the topic with him as the subject, instead of remembering our mourning, we just think the happy memories we’ve made when he was still here and hope for the best and stay strong. Reflection: Experiencing light after shadow is hard to overcome because you keep remembering things that are hard for you to forget. Everything happens for a reason....

...or perfect if it is transient. He explains that the World of Forms is very different to the World of Shadows. The World of Forms can only be properly understood by philosophers and those who seek knowledge, not by the ignorant or those who do not wish to learn the truth. The Theory of Forms makes a distinction between those objects that are real and those that are only real in our minds. His dialogues, like the Allegory of the Cave, portray knowledge as the process of leaving the cave and going into the sunlight. The people in the cave find their reality in the shadows cast in the cave and assume there can never be anything beyond these shadows. These shadows symbolise how the world that we see is just a shadow or reflection of what is real. For Plato, the real world is not what we see around us, it is only the World of Forms that is real. Plato believes there are two distinct realms of existence which exists simultaneously. This approach to the two different worlds is know as dualism. The world we live in is a less perfect version of the other world whereas the perfect world is unchanging and eternal, therefore we can gain true knowledge from the perfect world. Here in our world, the finite world, material objects like chairs exist but they are subject to change and decay. These things conform to their corresponding idea in the World of Forms. The finite world are shadows of the real world of the...

...Reflection: A good amount of my strengths come from my upbringing. I am the oldest of three and I learned how to be a leader at very young age. I consider myself to a very understanding, friendly and adaptable person. I also have been told I am a very good listener and I put myself before always. I am willing to help anyone who asks for help as well as helping those who may not be so straightforward. More towards the dietician side I have been practicing my profession since I was 13. My parents are very health conscious people and I was brought up in a house of moderation and making sure we always ate our veggie at dinner. I could tell my friends what foods high fat content, which was a healthier fat, read a nutrition label, and help my friends develop a healthier lifestyle. I also have worked in food service and people thought I was very kind. My weaknesses may be I am a visual learner. So when I hear directions I need a demonstration because the words just get jumbled in my head. My interests are helping kids, adults, teens, and older folks improve their health and live a healthy lifestyle in a positive way. I have so many ideas of where I want to specialize in that I can’t decide until I go through more nutrition classes. In my coursework I strangely enjoy anatomy. I love learning about the body and how it applies to daily life. I feel like through my BIO 203 I am making connections to my major with our material. I also enjoy my Communications class and actually interacting...

...I am Jan Van Eyck. I am a painter and have painted many different art pieces. I have worked for various nobles in the past, including John of Bavaria, and Philip the good. Working with John of Bavaria I worked on several pieces and assembled my own workshop. During this period i started using oil paints as not just a medium of painting but rather over the course of the following several years developed multitudes of painting techniques for which i am internationally known. I am known for my use of realism and illusionism in my paintings. Examples of this can be seen in all my painting especially in the arnolfini portrait. i have used oil paints to find a near perfect way to mimic the effects of light on a subject. From bringing in just the...

...Extra Credit: Electric Shadows Reflection The film makes me recall my childhood and my parents’ childhood. It descried a story in a town of Northwest China happened between 1970s and 1980s. At that time, people could only watch the outdoor movie that cemented by celluloid. This film covers the family love, romantic love between two generations and friendship. Also, it gives me a strong feeling of how the Chinese cultural revolution have changed the people’s lives and ideas. From what I learned from the “brief history of China” and Spence’s “the search for modern China”, Mao wanted and desired equal outcomes for all people. Even though the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution caused millions deaths, and it was a miserable failure; it brought fundamental changes to China such as family structure, rural people’s immigration, landscape and so on (Spence & “Brief Story of China”). As shown in the film, the first obvious change is technology. During the Ling Ling’s mother wedding day, there was a small black-white TV as a wedding gift. Everybody were interested in the TV because it was the first time they saw a TV. Later on, the stage of playing celluloid movie was destroyed because everybody were start watching movies at home (Xiao). I felt sad when I saw the scene. I remembered I saw the outdoor celluloid movie when I was young. Me and other kids came very early and sat on the first row. Even though the comfortable chairs were provided, we had no worries of sitting...

...literally paints a scene. It casts shadows in forests and reflections in crystal water. Different types of light, such as low light or bright light, paint different images on landscapes. He argues that intense light makes anything beautiful, even a corpse. For an image that can be disheartening or even scary, light removes death's foul connotation - after all, death is natural and everything in nature has its own beauty. When both light (the beauty) is used in conjugation with the human eye, Emerson's world is equivalent to the Greek cosmos. For example, light helps depict things as reflective or shiny. In reference to art, light helps to transform a two-dimensional canvas into the likeness of a three-dimensional space. Although the canvas is in fact flat, the artist's treatment of light can produce the illusion of reflection, shadow, and highlight. All these natural forms are pleasing to the eye as artists imitate them in landscapes from abstract clouds to towering oak trees to tiny pine cones. As the sun sets, its golden, fiery glow changes the perspective of leafless winter trees making them seem ablaze. However, Emerson insinuates that Nature is superior to art as he says, "art cannot rival this pomp of purple and gold." Emerson presents three aspects of natural beauty. The first speaks to Emerson's staunch position against modern industrialization. He argues the stresses from work are unhealthy for the body. Take a factory worker, for example; his job is located in a congested city...

...Aylin Vargas English 1301-416 Allegory of the Cave Annotation The son of a wealthy and noble family, Plato (427-347 B.C.) was preparing for a career in politics when the trial and eventual execution of Socrates (399 B.C.) changed the course of his life. He abandoned his political career and turned to philosophy, opening a school on the outskirts of Athens dedicated to the Socratic search for wisdom. Plato's school, then known as the Academy, was the first university in western history and operated from 387 B.C. until A.D. 529, when it was closed by Justinian. Unlike his mentor Socrates, Plato was both a writer and a teacher. His writings are in the form of dialogues, with Socrates as the principal speaker. In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato described symbolically the predicament in which mankind finds itself and proposes a way of salvation. The Allegory presents, in brief form, most of Plato's major philosophical assumptions: his belief that the world revealed by our senses is not the real world but only a poor copy of it, and that the real world can only be apprehended intellectually; his idea that knowledge cannot be transferred from teacher to student, but rather that education consists in directing student's minds toward what is real and important and allowing them to apprehend it for themselves; his faith that the universe ultimately is good; his conviction that enlightened individuals have an obligation to the rest of society, and that a good society must be one in...

...will be the one in where their robot Atom fights another robot named “Twin Cities”. The director for this movie is Shawn Levy (movieclips.com). In making a movie, that person is usually the director. “His or her role is often similar to that of the foreman, translating the screenwriter’s story so that the actors and crew can carry it out. And like the foreman, it’s up to the director to turn the elements he or she builds with—words, images, and sound—into something not just coherent but entertaining, even moving. It’s no accident that when films are described, they’re often talked about as the possession of the director—Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver, Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, and the like”.(Goodykoontz/Jacobs). It’s the director’s job to make sure that everything in the movie goes exactly the way it should. He controls the way actors do things, whether they can improvise or not, down to overseeing the editing. He or she is the overall boss on the set. They interpret or take the screenwriters story and make it into a running film. The production designer for this film is Tom Meyer. “Production Designers are major heads of department on film crews, and are responsible for the entire Art Department. They play a crucial role in helping Directors to achieve the film's visual requirements, and in providing Producers with carefully calculated schedules which offer viable ways of making films within agreed budgets and...

...Assessment Essay William Raspberry is from a small segregated town in Mississippi, he left this small town to take a job as a reporter. I do believe that his home town plays a big factor in how he feels about the black Americans being referred to as “black”. He has some really great points of view on the subject and how it affects the black children. There are certain images that come to mind when a person refers to a person as black. As I reflect on the article “The Handicap of Definition”, I am reminded of the town where I grew up, it was a small hick town but over half the population was black Americans. There are several statements made in this article that would make any person rethink calling a person “black” and in this paper I will discuss the most important ones to me. The first statement discusses how “black Americans carry one of the heaviest burden and even black children in particular, have to bare the question what it is meant to be black”. (Raspberry, 1982). A part of me agrees with this statement but another part of me feels that black Americans use this burden as a crutch. People make what they want to make out of their lives, if they want to us it as a crutch not to succeed then they will never succeed. It is all about a person’s desire to be an achiever. On the other hand I do feel that many times a person is labeled by their race. If this is the case the person might have to work harder to prove that they are not to be stereo typed. Where I grew...

...My mother is one of five sisters and I grew up listening to her stories of my grandfather’s sacrifices to get them all educated against the family and societal pressures to get them all married soon after graduating from high school, as was the norm in rural India back then. To overcome the hardship of getting them all educated on his teacher’s salary, he tirelessly worked many jobs to afford for their college education. My grandfather’s dedication to education inspired my mother to obtain a master’s degree in electrical engineering, and my aunts in becoming a pediatrician, an architect, and computer scientists. So science, education, and service to others were the three themes, which were my inspiration, and those, I embraced since childhood....
