The Civil War has ended, Abraham Lincoln has been assassinated, and the future of the United States doesn’t look great. “For the first time in American History, the man most capable of leading America is not a politician, but a self-made man.” Cornelius Vanderbilt was a shipping magnate who began his career running ferries from New York with cargo and people. He became successful and was nicknamed “The Commodore.” But, Vanderbilt becomes very interested in the railroad industry, causing him to…

Pablo Picasso created his painting Women Plaiting Her Hair in 1906 using oil paint on a canvas. Just as the title suggest, the painting shows a women unclothed (naked) braiding her hair. The painting is currently being exhibited/ belongs to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The painting is of medium size (50 x 35 ¾’’/ 127 x 90.8 cm). Just looking at the painting the viewer can get a sense of feel of the women painted of the canvas. With the minimum use of different colors Picasso has…

Da Vinci and Young have painted their subject using similar but different artforms, styles, subject matters, and techniques. Da Vinci painted an oil portrait painting of Ginevra de Benci in Florence, Italy 1474 to possibly commemorate her young marriage to her husband at the age of 16. Young’s semi-abstract entry in the Archibald prize is an Acrylic and rosewater on ply portrait of Torah Bright…

Clean coal is a technology of greatly disputed value with some believing it is the way of the future while others believe it merely applies a band-aid to a gunshot wound. Clean coal technology is not the most economically or environmentally practical method of energy production causing me to advocate for the increased use of alternative technologies. Any technology that reduces the environmental impact of burning coal falls under the clean coal technologies umbrella (Halber, 2008, para. 1). The…

We recently viewed a documentary in class titled Gasland by Josh Fox. Josh Fox is an environmentalist opposed to hydraulic fracturing in the United States. He has made many other movies/documentaries such as Memorial Day(2008), Gasland Part II(2013) and most recently How to Let Go of the World(2016). I believe that Fox wanted to expose the negative impact that hydraulic fracking has not only on the environment but also on the people. He drove across the country and interviewed different…

The U.S. should not drill for oil in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge because it would endanger animals, they wouldn’t make a lot of money, and pollution would damage the environment. A recent U.S. department of energy (DOE) assessment says there is ‘’ Considerable Uncertainty regarding both the size and quality of the oil resources that exist in ANWR.’’ Even if it is 7-7 barrels a day that will be able to recover the current upper limits of ANWR oil production is the transportation of TAPS(…

a wonderous turnout don’t you think? Anyways, enough of the history we know and love so dearly. Let’s get back to the trivial topic of the Native Americans not wanting to allow the good-intentioned oil companies to drill into their precious land. Wouldn’t you want to have your ancestors covered in oil for the greater good of the government? You’ll finally receive the recognition you’ve been declined of for so many decades. What I’ve gathered from…

artwork in one of the hallways caught my attention. It was a series of four, landscape nature paintings. The four paintings had water in them. They appeared to be scenes of a river flowing with foliage and greenery on the sides. The medium used was oil. These series of paintings were done in the year 2009, by Fred Peacock. As I interpreted these paintings, I saw peace and felt a sense of relaxation. I could almost hear the gentle rushing of the water over the rocks. I believe the main idea of…

risky and should be banned. Hydraulic Fracturing is vertically drilling into pockets of oil or natural gas and then horizontally angling the drill so as to maximize the amount of energy that can be freed. This method has been associated with environmentally negative impacts, such as air pollution or drinking-water contamination, on surrounding areas at drill sites. While there is risk involved with drilling for oil and natural gas, it is unclear and not enough research has been done to prove…
