Atelier Method

In my senior year I made many decisions, some I instantly regretted, others I’ve come around to. But I also made choice that I could never regret or wished I could turn back on. In my senior year I signed up for AP Art Studio. I first learned about the class from an art teacher, I had taken a few classes to fill my schedule and art had always been a hobby I enjoyed. I talked about the class with a friend I had known since freshman year, she had taken the class in her junior year and insisted that I sign up for it. I admit, I had a bit of a crush on her so she didn’t have to twist my arm to make me want to join the class. On the first day I was simultaneously in love and terrified. I had never been in a class so small, there was six other students, and I knew all of them. Our teacher laid out his expectations on the first day. We had to complete three “sections”. Twelve pieces for a breadth, a wide show of skill, using an array of subjects and mediums. Twelve pieces for a concentration, an in-depth exploration of a particular theme, and the quality, a group of five pieces which can overlap with the concentration and breadth (the breadth and concentration cannot overlap). Our teacher specified that we should be spending around ten hours a week outside of the class working on projects. Within the first week my image of a harsh class with cruel judgements of each other’s work had been wiped away. Our teacher was a relatively famous local watercolor artist, was in the middle of…

thought the statement on Reggio Emila: Art and the Hundred Languages was another weakness. I wasn't certain where that topic was going I didn't think it was related to the previous topics. The effectiveness and appropriateness of the article I've chosen would be that of how art education is constructive when it does to children learning and how art can help children's behavior and learning art history throughout the classroom and even in museums. Constructivism associates with studio teaching…

the Middle Ages. The Scientific Revolution was a change in the ways of the knowledge of science and the Period of Exploration was a time period of adventure and finding new regions. During the Renaissance, there were a lot of significant changes resulting from this time period such as the arts, communication, and knowledge. Of the three things that have changed from the Renaissance, the most significant change resulting from this era is the knowledge and discoveries of the Scientific Revolution.…

What changed the way we think? Kaitlyn Huff HIST 110-07 Professor Geraghty October 15, 2014 The changing of the human intellect during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries can be contributed to multiple aspects that were seen during those time periods. There are three aspects in particular that can be said to have the most significant role in changing the way individuals of those times thought and their daily life, in general - royal societies, coffee-houses, and salons. …

While it is necessary to delegate different tasks to team members, leaders also possess the responsibility of their team as a whole. While my Robotics team was revising our robot for the VEX Robotics Mid-Atlantic Championships, I made sure to keep track of the team’s progress in the engineering notebook, as well as supervise the work of my fellow team members. At Governor’s School, I will make sure to collaborate and contribute ideas, as well as provide leadership skills such as guidance,…

For Willy, his adventurer / explorer brother, Ben, and his salesman hero, Dave Singleman, are images of success, but the character of Ben is fantastical and the achievements of Dave are idealised and exaggerated. Using these as his benchmarks, Willy can never achieve the success he so desperately craves. Through a series of flashbacks in the play, where we witness Willy's persistent efforts to make the American Dream a reality for himself and his family, Miller launches a scathing attack on the…

John Stewart Mill’s Idea of Utilitarianism – Does it Still Exist Today? J.S Mill is a philosopher from the 1800’s, whose work typically seemed to be on the levels of political philosophy. Growing up, Stewart was hugely influenced by Jeremy Bentham as he was Bentham’s god son. This influence proved itself to be an important one as Stewart, just like his god father, began to focus his work around the idea of utilitarianism. In 1863, Stewart had an article called Utilitarianism published in…

Researching scientific ethics was interesting, frustrating, and entertaining. While I understand the need to have ethics within the scientific community because so much relies on each person’s work being credible and having integrity, I am having trouble understanding why people believe that scientists are any different than the rest of the world. (Unreliable Research) They are human with needs, wants, thoughts, and behaviors that are governed by approval, money, fame, and all the other things…
