    The application of color and paint in a piece creates a noticeable surface texture within the work. This surface texture can be used to enhance the general chaos or conversely the straightforwardness of a work. The use of color within the image also has an effect on the overall mood of the painting and the viewer’s perception of the subjects. In Claude Monet’s Grainstacks (Snow Effect) the heavily textured surface of the painting and visibility of the separate brush strokes creates a sense of complexity, which along with the practice of keeping colors separate, adds to the visual depth of an otherwise very plain subject but still enforces the general mood of the painting. On the other hand in Kingstein’s Christ in a Pawn Shop the surface texture…

    Within this content, there are certain topics that relate to the film “Chasing Ice” such as, the impacts of global warming and the annual global temperature rise. The content suggests, that although no one can exactly forecast the exact effects on the increased temperature, “some experts have predicted severe droughts and a rise in ocean leaves of 0.6 meters (2 feet) to 6 meters (20 feet)- conditions that will affect everyone on Earth” (Hales, & Lauzon, 2018). James Balog has also agreed with this, predicting that in his “daughter's lifetimes sea levels will increase between 1.5-3 feet” (----------). The concept also distributes more information on the annual temperature increase. James Balog hypothesizes that this temperature increase is one of the major factors in glacier recession.…

    Glaciers were once present in Minnesota thousands of years ago, and as they retreated, they left behind large amounts of glacial meltwater and various landforms still present to this day. A glacier is a massive piece of ice that completely destroys everything in its path. A glacier is formed when snow is present in a location for a long period of time, long enough to freeze all together to be conjoined into a massive chunk of ice. Glaciers are usually formed on a high elevation location. When on top of a location very high, glaciers glide across the ground making glaciers moving.…
