...“They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them your self” . Is it ever possible to call art everyday objects? One soup can, may be really boring but is it possible 100 of them being an actual piece of art having an incredible value? Can it be possibly believed that Homer Simpson is in the world wide history of art? "Everything is beautiful. Pop is everything." Everything is allowed in Pop Art. Abstract Expressionism held sway for fifteen years. But in the early sixties, a group of artists occurred. They were much more different from all other artists since their subjects were Coke bottles, beer and soup cans, comic strip characters and hamburgers. Having to do with so common things mostly everyone has and being so popular objects their movement was labeled Pop Art. Pop Art is basically a 20th century art movement that utilized the imagery and techniques of consumerism and popular culture. It was really easy of it to develop since by the mid to late 1950s the economic and social climate was changing enormously, and so it was really easy for new generation of painters to interest society. Pop Art developed in the United States and in Britain mostly. In the United States the artists were responding to the nation’s consumer society well as in Britain the style had a more nostalgic flavour. The main difference in my opinion of British Pop art and American Pop art is that in the first we have an overtone of melancholy which was not been shared yet in...

...Ten Lessons for the kids 1. Don’t be afraid to fail: If you never fail at anything, you may be aiming too low, playing it safe, and doing what Stephen Covey used to call “playing par 9 golf.” So, keep challenging yourself, even – and especially – after defeats. Emerson wrote, “When it’s darkest, men see the stars.” Failure and adversity are among the best ways to grow and to learn. (See these 10 quotes about perseverance in the face of adversity.) 2. Find the good in yourself. We all deserve to feel good about ourselves, without the need to derive our sense of self-worth from the people around us. Taken together, the judgments of teachers, parents, bosses and friends amount to a hall of fun house mirrors – one in which you’ll never get an accurate reflection of yourself. If you grow up longing for approval, you’ll risk becoming a pleaser, dependent on others for your sense of security and well-being. The opinions of those around you – though worth considering – are slender reeds on which to base your self-image. Instead, pick what matters most to you and stick with it. 3. And see the good in others, too. The harvest from showing genuine interest and respect to others is almost invariably an increase in your own self-esteem. The world is full of other people, so don’t go through life dismissing them, seeking distance from them, or being shy or afraid. Showing respect – and even reverence – for other humans is virtually always a “win-win” proposition. 4. There's no substitute...

...Reverie by Roy Lichtenstein Roy Lichtenstein was an American artist who was an influential part of the Pop Art movement in the 1960s. Roy Lichtenstein was born in New York in 1923 and he has created some of the most well-known Pop Art paintings and artworks. An example of his artwork is “Reverie”, it is a screen print by Roy Lichtenstein in 1965 in his iconic comic strip art style. “Reverie” by Roy Lichtenstein shows social commentary of mass production through the art movement it’s in, the technique used, the subject matter. “Reverie” is an example of an artworks that is part of the Pop Art movement. Pop Art developed in the early 1960s as a response to abstract expressionism. It was originally a British movement in the mid 1950s but it became a movement that became a social commentary on the mass-production and unoriginality of the culture in America. Artists in the movement used images or production techniques of everyday consumer life in America. In Lichtenstein ‘s case, he mimicked the style of comics in a way in which it seems to be made by a machine and not by hand, such technique is presented in “Reverie”. Pop Art glorified the everyday, making everyday objects and subjects into high art. It used commercial art as subject matters in painting. Pop art called attention to consumer projects as it mimicked the increasing advertisements, but it also served to glorify them as idealized images of contemporary culture. Pop art, according to Lichtenstein, was art that looks...

...Grievance Vijayimpact @ CORD India Grievance According to Michael Jucius, “ A grievance can be any discontent or dissatisfaction, whether expressed or not, whether valid or not, and arising out of anything connected with the company that an employee thinks, believes, or even feels as unfair, unjust, or inequitable.” A grievance means any discontentment or dissatisfaction in an employee arising out of anything related to the enterprise where he is working. It may not be expressed and even may not be valid. It arises when an employee feels that something has happened or is going to happen which is unfair, unjust or inequitable. Thus, a grievance represents a situation in which an employee feels that something unfavorable to him has happened or is going to happen. In an industrial enterprise, an employee may have grievance because of long hours of work, non-fulfillment of terms of service by the management, unfair treatment in promotion, poor working facilities, etc. Nature of Grievance : Grievances are symptoms of conflicts in the enterprise. Just like smoke could mean fire, similarly grievances could lead to serious problem if it is not addressed immediately! So they should be handled very promptly and efficiently. While dealing with grievances of subordinates, it is necessary to keep in mind the following points: A grievance may or may not be real. Grievance may arise out of not one cause but multifarious causes. Every individual does not give expression to his grievances...

...The Evolution of Pop Art by Marius Janavicius Critical and Cultural Studies Caroline Archer August 2011 During the 1960s Art Deco and Art Nouveau already were already established movements, which did not have the labels of “contemporary” styles. People were looking for something new, and shocking. Reactions towards established moral standards, social tensions which included race relations, sexual mores, women’s rights gave birth to total reassessment of old values. It was born twice: first in England and then again, independently, in New York. During the early 1950s, several London artists transformed the artifacts and mass media imagery of American popular culture into critical, satirical art works. They were responding to a flood of American postwar export of consumer goods, movies, magazines, comics and advertising. However, Pop Art became popular movement in United States. After the Second World War came the birth of the consumer society. The American way of life, with its emphasis on growth, quantity, consumption and fun, dominated western values. However, underneath many of the same old dark forces raged on: war - Berlin, Korea, Vietnam; racial unrest; the political intolerance of the early 1950s. Among the young, new values awoke, and protest movements sprang up. Pop art mostly opposed abstractionism, represented by Jackson Pollock. It was said that Pollock’s work terminated all connections with visible reality. Young artists blamed him for making...

...Final Examination Question Last Month Quentin lost his job working in the UNSW Law School photocopy room, and on his way home purchased a lottery ticket. He won big and bought a business, called Abdo ’s Diamond Cutting Works. Quentin places an order with Abdo ’s cousin in Damascus, Syria, Mussa, to buy 3 newest model diamond cutting machines at a price of $150,000 per machine “Delivered Duty Paid” at Darling Harbour, Sydney. (At the time of the order, Abdo only had one machine.) These cutting machines can only be purchased in Syria. Each new machine is to be delivered at Darling Harbour, Sydney, at the end of each month commencing June 2011. The Mussa Machines Ltd purchase order form that Quentin signs says in relevant part: “13. Time is of the essence for payment. 14. Delivery must occur within 30 days of scheduled delivery dates.”” After delivering in June, Mussa tells Quentin that he will deliver no more machines. Mussa says that because Syria has cut off diplomatic relations with Australia because the Australian Government has unlawfully interfered in Syria’s internal affairs, and he has been ordered by the Syrian Government to deliver all goods destined for Australia to the Syrian Government stores in Damascus instead. He says that the Syrian secret police are already investigating him, and he cannot say any more about it. Quentin does not want to pay for any of the machines at all. He tells you he has decided to keep using Abdo ’s old diamond cutting machine...

...Harold Wilson, who was the Prime Minister during 1964-70, had promised Britain one of his most effective campaign speeches. He had promised that Britain would catch up with “the white heat” of technological change. Wilson had successfully linked the Labour Party to modernisation in contrast to what were described as the “wasted years” of the Conservative government. The Labour government seemed to be more in touch with the social and cultural trends of the 1960s. Modernisation of the British economy was one of the key priorities for the Labour government. By 1964, it was widely accepted that Britain was lagging behind other countries such as West Germany and Japan. Britain’s economy seemed to be trapped in the cycle of “stop-go”, with bursts of prosperity always leading to inflation, runs on the pound snd regular crises over the balance of payments. Reorganising the economy to break out of this cycle was the key aim of Wilson’s government in 1964. Moreover, Labour inherited a deficit of about £800million. The two classic economic solutions to this kind of problem were deflation and devaluation. But Wilson and his Chancellor of Exchequer, James Callaghan, refused to do neither. Instead, Wilson was convinced that these problems could be fixed by careful management and planning. A new department, the Department of Economic Affairs (DEA) was set up, led by George Brown and a National Plan had been drawn up. He had set growth targets and devised a national system of “economic planning...

...Mary Rosefern Montecalvo Arundhati Roy and The God of Small Things Asian Literature – Finals Paper Does everything really happen for a reason? Or do they merely occur at random? These are but two of several questions that Arundhati Roy left me with after I finished reading her novel The God of Small Things. Roy quoted contemporary writer John Berger for her novel’s epigraph when he said: "Never again will a single story be told as though it's the only one." Readers would agree that it is perfect for a story that is told in a non-linear manner with multiple perspectives. Synopsis of the Novel: Mostly set in a village named Ayemenem in India, the story tells about the childhood of fraternal twins Estha (a girl) and Rahel (a boy) when they were 7 years old in 1969 and then 24 years later in 1996. Ammu, the twins’ mother, also grew up in Ayemenem with her parents Pappachi and Mammachi. She has a brother named Chacko who went to study at Oxford and married a white woman named Margaret. They have a daughter named Sophie. While she's pregnant, Margaret falls for a guy named Joe, whom she marries after divorcing Chacko. Chacko is heartbroken and moves back to Ayemenem. Ammu also used to be married before she went back to Ayemenem with the twins in tow. Her husband’s name was Baba and they got divorced when Baba informed her about an indecent proposal thought up by his boss. Ammu did not agree to play along with it and in doing so, got herself beat up by Baba....

...According to Greg Johnson Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? is a feminist allegory. I do not know if I agree or disagree with this perspective. I do not think Oates intended for the story to be a feminist allegory in any sense, but I do see why Johnson thinks that way. Connie definitely surrenders her autonomous self to Arnold’s desire and domination in the end, but that does not mean that during the whole story Connie was kissing the ground Arnold walked on. I strongly disagree that part of growing up requires sexual bondage at the hands of a male “friend,” that may be the way Connie ends up but that is definitely not the way most teenage girls mature. I do not think the story is entirely about Connie’s initiation into sexual bondage. It is simply a story about a creepy man that tries to lure in a typical young girl and ultimately interact sexually. According to Larry Rubin Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? is all one big dream about her fear of the adult world. I definitely see why this interpretation is possible. Connie has an overall feeling of not having control over the situation she is in which happens in most bad dreams. Rubin explains the similarities of Arnold to that of which Connie already knows before meeting Arnold, such as his voice is the same as some disc jockey on the radio. This is very common in dreams, things from your real life somehow show up differently in dreams. The fact that Connie could not even dial the phone number when she felt...

...In my first ice breaker speech, it was very nerve racking for me to spend close to 6 mins telling everyone my growing up story which has caused me to be so afraid of speaking publicly. It would not have been possible for me to get that speech out that night had i not embraced my vulnerability, k i am enough, had the courage to be imperfect and i wanted to let myself be seen as thats the way to make the connection with people, and i think i did that night And it is all of these that drove me to be in the arena, instead of taking the backseat. the talk was flawed and imperfect but i walked into the arena and gave it my best shot. The willingness to show up changes us, it makes us a little braver each time. The minute i was done, i knew that if it flopped, it had been totally worth doing. Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
