views of various artists and scientists about current common topics like obesity, genetics and how they describe the defects uniquely either with scientific explanations using video installations or creating huge objects and relating them to more abstract terms such as emotions and feelings. I think the most interesting piece in the entire exhibition was the one John Isaacs did, “I Can’t Help The Way I Feel”. The object is made from wax, polystyrene, steel and expanding foam, which are all covered

The Distributive property of Algebraic expressions Janet Mency MAT 221 Instructor: Amy Glidewell January 25, 2014 Completing algebra problems can be difficult if you don’t understand the properties of real numbers. There are several properties in algebra dealing with both integers and real numbers; one that will be the focus of this report will be the distributive property. We use this property when we are combining addition and multiplication in an algebraic expression. Let’s say that

principle of the matter had changed. Art leapt from viewable understanding straight into the Modern movement where theory became art, and to understand it, one must know the theory it is based upon. Never was this more apparent than in the artwork of the abstract expressionist. Essentially, artwork is not art because of theory, and art based on theory cannot be creative or truly said to be art. To understand all of this, from the beginning, one must begin with the Word. That is to say, one must start

supported the movement of Abstract Expressionism with equal vigor. Rosenberg's view of what a canvas actually represented was described as “an arena in which to act.” He thought of it as a space for an artist to create an “event” instead of an image, which was the result of an “encounter” with the artist and his medium. These concepts were the basis of Rosenberg’s most famous and timeless notion, that which he called “Action Painting”, which would later be described as Abstract Impressionism. It was

Part One – What I Used to Think About Art and Artists When I started taking this class this semester I wasn’t really sure exactly what to expect or which artists we were going to study. When I started this course I used to think that artists, as in painters, were all somewhat strange quiet people with few social skills. From my previous experience most of the people that I knew or knew about were a bit on the strange side. I knew a lot of unknown artists when I was younger and I still know some

HUMMANITIES O ART Cubism was truthfully a world-shattering style of art developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braques. It was the first style of abstract art which progressed at the beginning of the 20th century in response to a world that was changing very quickly. Cubism was an attempt by artists to invigorate the exhausted traditions of Western art which was thought to have run their course. The Cubists tested orthodox forms of representation, such as perspective, which had been the rule since

subject of Ashcan was mostly urban living in New York that showed everyday ordinary people and places, whereas the work of the American modernists focused on more abstract and futuristic pieces of work. While there is no set date for when this abstract style originated, Nature Symbolized No. 2, c.1911 (page 65) is one of the first abstract American paintings. The painting is meant to symbolize how Dove felt about nature, rather than how he saw it. To me, the painting is simple and elegant and is as

been never before. Among the best-known artists of the newer generation include Bose Krishnamachari and Bikash Bhattacharya. Another prominent Pakistani modernist was Ismail Gulgee, who after about 1960 adopted an abstract idiom that combines aspects of Islamic calligraphy with an abstract expressionist (or gestural abstractionist) sensibility. Painting and sculpture remained important in the later half of the twentieth century, though in the work of leading artists such as Nalini Malani, Subodh
