...Gypsum is a mineral that has been mined for throughout the world. It is main ingredient in most dental materials.in dentistry. Gypsum is widely used in dentistry for the creation of impression models, crown and bridge and various other things. Types of Gypsum How they are created and used Plaster of Paris This is formed by the mineral gypsum being crushed and heated in an open vessel. This is known as calcining and during this process irregular shaped crystals are made. The crystal are referred to as beta calcium sulphate hemihydrate. The plaster is then ground into a coarse consistency. In a dental lab it is used as powder in the process of making master casts, study casts and moulds.

...02/23/13 4.1 My favorite material from the Drawing media would have to be pen and ink. I find it interesting how many ways there are to get ink on paper that I never thought of before. I especially like the sponge idea when you soak it and swipe it on the page. Pen and Ink was used in Rembrandt’s Cottage among Trees (6.11) in Getlein’s text. He used different kinds of pens to draw varied lines in the painting. My favorite material from the Painting media would have to be Fresco. The process of using Fresco is interesting. It is using pigments that are mixed with water and applying them to a wet lime plaster support. When the plaster dries, the lime undergoes a chemical transformation and fuses the pigment with the plaster surface. Fresco is used in the Mixtec Culture by Diego Rivera. From the Print media, my favorite the woodcut. I find it very creative to draw a desired image on a block of wood, and creating all sorts of works of art with it. The earliest surviving woodcut image was made in China in 868 C.E. which portrayed Buddha preaching at the Diamond Sutra (Getlein 8.2). From the Sculpture media, my favorite is material is blocks of material and cuts used for carving. Tilman Riemenschneider uses this when he carved Virgin and Child on the Crescent Moon (Getlein 11.8). Jeff Koons is an American artist who is well known for his reproductions of banal objects. He is from Pennsylvania, but lives and works in New York City. In 1992, he was commissioned by three art dealers...

...2. From Thomas Springer’s inventory, multiple things can be deduced about his life and daily activities. For one thing, it is evident that Thomas Springer did work outside, most likely agricultural and lumber work. He has both a large amount of supplies intended for work outside, including crowbars, axes, and plows, as well as a large portion of agricultural and lumber goods, such as potatoes, cider, and wood. Not only this, but it is noticeable that he has more boots than he has drawers. The fact that he would have more boots than underwear shws that he certainly has a great need for boots, a need which would be justified by daily outdoor agricultural work. Although it is obvious that a good portion of this man’s day and his income is determined by outdoor work, it is also evident that his time is not entirely dominated by such work. It is listed that he has “a lot of books”. It can be assumed that if Springer had no time remaining outside of his agricultural work, then he would be unable to have time to read and thus be unlikely to accumulate many books. Therefore Springer most likely has spare time outside of working, which he is able to use for leisure. This, along with the fact that Springer is able to afford not only a lot of books for pure leisure, but also 2 slaves shows that, although perhaps not extremely wealthy, Springer is certainly well off and providing for himself beyond sustenance. Springer is evidently, thorugh agricultural and lumber work, making a healthy...

...annoyance because you know a solution as soon as you find the issue. A problem is when you uncover a potential issue, and you don't know how to fix it. Yesterday I had an issue. The stairs are missing 4 balusters, and I need more balusters to reinforce the railing at the top of the stairs. The balusters in landing are spaced about every 12". They should be about every 4.5". I took one of the balusters to HD and of course, they don't match. Instead of buying around 25 balusters, it looks like I'll be buying 50-60 of them. This was an issue because I knew the solution. I just didn't like it because it costs more, and takes more time. Today was different. Today I found a problem. As we were demo'ing the back bedroom we removed the drywall, plaster, lath, and trim from the back wall. Below the window we noticed the wood didn't look right. After poking around a bit I came to the conclusion we had termites. Not good. I'm not sure if they are still there, but I'll research this tonight. The termites ate some of the framing supporting the window. This explains why the upper sash of the window was broken... I wish the termites stopped at this. They didn't. They have eaten the main transverse support that is supporting the 5' overhang off the back of the house. This is a real problem. I have a few ideas of how to fix this, but it all involves more work than I expected. Hopefully I can come up with a solution we can fix from the inside. The outside of the house is covered in formstone...

...Upon visiting the Newport Art Museum in Newport, Rhode Island, there was a variety of different artworks. One painting that caught my eye was of the many works created by William Trost Richards that I selected is the “Guernsey Cliffs, Channel Islands”. The painting uses color, style, and structure to visually represent his image with the water that is the focus of his piece as well as the surroundings of it. He uses a blending of two styles in his painting of dramatic and detailed illustration. There is a dramatic image of the rough water hitting the rocks with some dark clouds in the background. The colors are warm and vivid. In this oil seascape, he is able to catch the expression of the gentle but yet rough motion of the water. There is a mixture of the calm and cloudy atmosphere. The use of different shades of color in the sky makes the image look more realistic. The oil produces a shine and enhances the liveness of the colors. The brushstrokes are visible and rough that gives off a vibrant feeling and brings the painting to life. It can be noticed that this illustration is painted and drawn with power and also the skill. William Trost Richards, an American, was born in 1833 and died in 1905. He created this oil painting in 1899, which can be found at the Newport Art Museum that was given as a gift from Willard Clinton Warren II and Timothy Matlack Warren, grandnephews of the artist and other members of the Warren family. Richards had a close association with Newport in the...

...You can create various illusions and moods using different faux techniques and finishes. When you hire someone expert in faux painting, it is important that you possess some knowledge about the difference between techniques and finishes. It is also important if you are doing the work all by yourself. The understanding would help you decide what would be the best for your home. Glaze and plaster are the two techniques of faux painting. Plaster technique involves tinted plaster and it is applied using a trowel or spatula. You can get flat or textured style from the plaster technique. Glaze technique is rather complicated; a translucent mixture of paint and glaze is used. The mixture is applied with the help of rag, roller, sponge, brush etc. Glaze can offer smooth to the touch. First you should choose the technique and when the technique is decided, you can choose a finish for the...

...fresco painting is a technique wherein the artist uses fresh plaster as a medium to paint; This painting technique has three types , these are : Mezzo-fresco , fresco secco and Buon fresco. The main technique that I’ll be focusing on is the Buon Fresco. Buon Fresco or sometimes referred as true fresco is the most common method of fresco painting technique in which the artist uses a wet plaster and paints on it while it’s freshly laid on the wall. Buon Fresco consists of the following basic process: first, the artist prepares the illustration that he/she wanted to do which would be transferred through the course of painting. Next, the artist will prepare the plaster by mixing it and then he/she will place or put the wet plaster into the wall. Lastly, while the plaster is still fresh and wet, this is the time where the artist needs to begin his/her painting. The challenge and the disadvantage of this technique is that one must have the speed to complete the artwork before the plaster...

Mass communication is about storytelling with strategy and purpose. The study of mass communication is centered around how messages persuade and affect the behavior and opinion of the person or people receiving the content. Mass communication has become a vital and seamless part of everyday human life. Today’s society is dependent on mass communication —from morning television news to social media feeds and blog posts from personalized advertising messages to branded content sponsored by a specific company. Messages sent by mass communicators help inform the public and often help set agendas and public opinion. Mass communicators help people develop an understanding of social problems and make informed decisions. The general public...

...Mert Woodard History 1910 Professor Tracy Religion in Çatalhöyük The Neolithic period is undoubtedly one of the most imperative ears in history. It was a pivotal period in which farming, technology and human culture made very significant advances. There are many important settlements from this period, and one of the most significant is the site known as Çatalhöyük. Çatalhöyük, meaning “mound at the fork” in Turkish, is located in South Central Turkey, a region known by many as Anatolia. Çatalhöyük is now a large mound covering thirty-two acres and reaches sixty feet at its highest point. The people of Çatalhöyük built houses out of mud brick and would knock them down and rebuild over many years. This rebuilding would accumulate land higher and higher, thus the mound. The site’s layers, representing each “city”, are numbered from the top, 0, to the bottom, X. The oldest level has been dated to about 6500 B.C. The mound was first excavated in 1958 by British archaeologist James Mellaart, and after over thirty years the excavations are being led by fellow Englishman Ian Hodder. The discoveries made by Mellaart and Hodder, as well as their interpretations, shed light on what the people of Çatalhöyük were like. The excavation of the site can tell us what they ate, how they lived, and what they may have believed. Religion is one of the most widely debated topics concerning the settlement and its inhabitants. Mellaart strongly believed that the people of Çatalhöyük...

...In ‘Madame Bovary’ by Gustave Flaubert, Charles Bovary, an undereducated doctor of medicine has two wives in his life. The first wife, Madame Dubuc, dies and Emma Rouault, his second wife, after many affairs commits suicide, the fate of Charles and Emma's marriage is described by an elaborate connection of symbolic relations. The relationships of the shutter's sealing bang, Emma's long dress that keeps her from happiness, the plaster priest that conveys the actions of the couple, the restless greyhound, and Emma burning her wedding bouquet are all images of eternal doom to the couple's marriage. Charles Bovary first met Emma Rouault when he was on a medical call to fix her father's broken leg. Not long after his arrival Emma catches his interest. Her actions satisfy his hearts need for a young, fresh mind and body. The old widow that he is currently married to dies of chagrin. This saddens Charles but his mind stays on Emma. After frequent visits to her farm, even after her father's leg was healed, Charles gives a thought about if he would like to marry Emma but he is uncertain. Her father sees Charles' interest in his daughter and takes it upon himself to engage the two. He waits until Charles is departing and then confronts him about the engagement. As expected Charles accepts the marriage and the father runs to the house to receive Emma's acceptance. This was to be shown by the opening of a shutter door. "Suddenly he heard a sound from the house: the shutter had slammed...

...wire with Kathryn’s work gave me inspiration in bending the wire to whatever shape and design I wanted to create. I figured out that wire would be a good link to my chosen necklace. Deciding to use organic shapes and materials, I decided to focus on shapes of bones. I used card to specify the basic shape. Then I decided to wrap around wire to give it a tighter shape. Then using the technique of ‘dry brushing’ I painted the section of bone that I wrapped wire around. Then focusing on the texture of bone, I decided to try put plaster on to add a bony texture to it. The plaster was successful, especially after dry brushing paint on to add colour, it made the piece look like bone. Dry brushing was something I hadn’t done before; this was something that my teacher recommended after hearing about my idea. I was exploring how to represent the bones in different ways, I first used only wire, then I used cardboard and wire, then I used cardboard wire and plaster to finish off the look I was going for. I have recorded my ideas by doing observational drawings from different resources such as, from images from the internet, from pictures in books and also magazines. I have developed my drawings by adding on different mediums such as wire. Using wire made gave me ideas of using wire in my final piece. I have understood that when working...

...humanist. He was born in 1452 near Vinci in Italy, and died in Amboise, near Tours France in 1519. The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa are his most famous works of art. Although it took a little over three years to complete, da Vinci did not actually work on it continuously. No one knows the exact date of commencement due to lost and unreliable record-keeping but it is said to be started in 1494 and completed sometime in 1498. There is a misconception that The Last Supper is a large fresco style painting but it is not. Fresco is the Italian word for fresh, and that's because painters do fresco painting on fresh, wet plaster walls. That way the colors really sink in to the plaster, and you get a glowing kind of color that is very different from what you would get if you just painted on top of the dry plaster. But da Vinci worked on this for over a year so the wet plaster would not be wet for long which would not allow this work to be done the way it was meant to be. The technique that he chose was never before seen. He first coated the wall with a strong base. The base consisted of gesso, pitch, and mastic, and has not proved durable. The pigment soon began to break loose from the base and a process of progressive decay set in. As early as 1517 the painting began to flake. Then, less than 60 years after the completion of the painting in 1556 the painting was...
