The Soil Chapter 1 Summary

Improved Essays
The art work that I found interesting in Chapter 5 was “The Soil” which was by Constantin Meunier. The picture reminds of hard working man that make a living. For example, the way there carrying the rock or pulling the rock towards them while tilting that back is some hard work and dedication. Picture reminds me of a man breaking there back for their family. What I mean by that is we never give up at what we do for our self or whoever might be that you’re supporting. It looks so realistic by how it looks like they working on sand and how there naked. The picture reminds me of how man use to work their tail off to feed their wives and they do whatever it took even though they had no other way. The next art work I found interesting was by Charles

    Chapter 8 is all about the principles of design and how it is used in art. One piece caught my attention more than all the others, Diego Velazquez’ painting The Maids Of Honor (1656). This particular painting stood out to me because of the way the Infantas white dress grabs the eye away from everything else in the image. Not only does the light illuminate the child it pulls attention to her gaze, and how she is looking out at something not seen in the painting. Now that the artist has you looking at the face, you automatically look at the faces of the others in the room.…

Uniting the variety of elements and principles of design, the ones brought up within this assignment and the others that can be inferred from the artwork itself, the overall artwork provides a redeeming beauty.

    In order to identify and mimic the creative prospects of the work that elicit detail, I had to admire certain elements and suspect their relevance to the piece, where only then I could interpret them and advance my own creation from the techniques that I observed. While we study many beautiful pieces of art throughout the entirety of this semester, between the originality, economic struggles, and over complications that are exhibited within this work, I believe this work is the most advanced of which we saw, considering the region from whence it…

    A detailed description of soil locations, textures and physio-chemical properties can be found in Sections 2.3.1(page 41) and 3.3.1(page 56). We selected four types of soils out of seven types of soils, namely MGA, KBA, TAA and DUA. Key soil characterisation of these four soils is summarised in Table 4.2. The reason why these four types of soils were chosen for this chapter was that they had distinct soil parameters in terms of total organic carbon (TOC), Fe oxide, Al oxide, pH which have been observed as important controllers for bioaccessibility of As, Cd and Pb reported in previous chapters. MGA soils contained a high amount of TOC (8.37 %), Fe oxide (12.49 g kg-1), Al oxide (12.6 g kg-1) whilst few TOC (1.48 %), Fe oxide (0.64 g kg-1) and…
