Figure

the kitchen and three other figures who are situated in a room in the background. Compared to the other figures, the server is secluded and, more importantly, distant from the figure who has a faint halo above his head—the Jesus figure—and therefore seems to be the lesser in the spiritual sense. However, despite his or her seclusion and distance, Velázquez places the server figure in the center of the painting. The unusual emphasis given to the server over the Jesus figure and his companions…

which in turn created form and depth. I was able to recreate this effect in my artwork (see Image 2b) with the folds in the pants as well as the shirts worn by the different figures. O’Shields also used small spots on the fish to contribute to the look of the fish’s skin just like I used to shade the cloths on all the figures. The wave in the background of O’Shields’ work was done the same way he did the rest of his artwork. By not having a background in any of the images represented in my…

(Man/Woman): What is music? Is sound by itself music? What makes sound music? In 1952, John Cage wrote a song called, “Four Thirty-Three”. The song “Four Thirty-Three”, had no sound it it. The whole song is four minutes a thirty-three seconds of silence. John Cage said that “Four Thirty-Three” was music. When…

No one will argue that determining the number of significant figures and keeping with the rules of those “sigfigs” throughout an already strenuous calculation can be a pain. Countless points and half-points have been deducted from tests throughout chemistry’s ages from students claiming that significant figures are, ironically, insignificant. But, let’s consider the following scenario. Joey is in his inorganic chemistry lab. The second step to the lab tells him to measure out the mass of Iron he…

An Analysis on Gendered Toys In western society we have a binary system for gender, we teach our kids about gender roles “society’s concept of how men and women are expected to look and how they should behave”, and expectations by the toys marketed toward them and parents buy them (OpenStax College 259). But how is it that the toys children play with enforce gender roles? The toys marketed to children have hidden aspects, demonstrating how we expect children to behave “based on norms, or…

the sixth century. The primary function of the statues is not aesthetic. Royally commissioned art during the Neo-Assyrian period was responsible for maintaining and spreading the influence of rulers. They are protectors of the King of Assyria. The figures are deities called Lamassu, tasked with protecting the King from natural or supernatural dangers, while showing the great wealth and power of the ruler. The Lamassu displayed at the MET are dated between 883-859 BCE. This is during the…

Few cases following Gertz have clarified what it means to be a limited purpose public figure and the Supreme Court has not established one concrete standard. In Time, Inc. v. Firestone, Mary Alice Firestone filed for divorce from her husband, an heir to the Firestone Tires fortune. Based on a claim by her husband, Time Magazine printed an article reporting that Firestone’s extreme cruelty and adultery caused the divorce. Firestone requested a retraction, but Time refused. Firestone sued Time,…

I was pretty aware of the importance of color of products and toys for kids. I did think it is funny that dolls are known to be for girls, to dress up or play with it. While I do believe that action figures that boys often play with, is literally the same has a doll, just under another name. I do believe that there were a lot of gender messages to both boys and girls. As I said before the importance of color of the toys for girls and boys do portray…

She stopped in front of Mr.Andren’s desk. As if there wasn’t enough red flags glued to this ball of bad feelings. It didn’t take very long for me to be called out the room. I was followed by Mr. Anderson. He was mad as fire. It took me a minute to figure out what had happened when I did I immediately knew Shela had done it. She had signed my name on a page in a Curse Book that Sheila had “found”. Mr.Anderson wouldn’t calm down enough to let me explain. So for just a second I hated him. For just…

bare toes all the way up to my ears. Slowly I pushed off the stiff sheets and stood. My head felt heavy on top of my body, weighted with confusion and regret. They’ve told me I can’t blame myself for not seeing it sooner, most people could never figure it out themselves, but I can’t help thinking about how irrational it all seems now. How could I actually think that as businessmen rush to work, coffee in tow, they’d have the time to point out my ratted mousey hair, or that mothers…
