Abstraction

Recently my grandparents came to visit me from Virginia, and when I said I needed to go the Burroughs and Chapin Art Museum for my Art Appreciation class they were more than happy to take me.

Downstairs they had some really awesome exhibitions and it was very difficult to pick two pieces to write about. After a thorough examination, I…

In the fifties a rockets builder said that the key to put a person on the Moon was miniaturization. Less than twenty years later, that fact was proven right. The management of multiple tasks, resources and challenges today, requires much less time, space and resources, than it did required fifty…

Sylvia Plath’s “Fever 103°” is a dramatic narrative poem made up of eighteen stanzas, with three lines each stanza. She utilizes a great deal of imagery, sensory words, and metaphors in her writing.

After reading about John Locke’s empiricism, I think that he is right about the tabula rasa. Locke believed that human beings were born with a blank state mind, just like a blank white piece of paper that has no words or ideas to it. He stated that everybody enters the world with no previous knowledge nor understanding about anything, and the only way to gain knowledge and furnish our brain is through experience. Locke claims that in order to come up with conclusions and grasp an understanding…

This pair of artworks applies entirely different medias; however, both aim to achieve a sense of Scottish national identity. In Leviathan Elegy, there are three dimensional works combined together to construct an almost museum-like display in a manner of natural history exhibit, which can be seen in the labeling of the sculptural forms with single letter A from letter G in the top panel. These labels resemble that of the natural history museums that are used to define orthodox narrative or…

The client is guided to explore their automatic thoughts and taught how to identify cognitive distortions such as: arbitrary inference, selective abstraction, overgeneralization, magnification and minimization, personalization, and absolutist/dichotomous thinking (Beck, 1979). Once the client recognizes the flaws in his/her thinking, it is possible to systematically challenge and replace them with more…

The technique used in representing three-dimensional images onto a two-dimensional picture plane is what is known as Perspective drawing. More specifically, Linear Perspective is described as ‘a type of perspective used by artists in which the relative size, shape, and position of objects are determined by drawn or imagined lines converging at a point on the horizon.’ Certainly one of perspectives’ main uses in painting is in establishing the position from which the artist or spectator observes…
