One such writer-artist was Dan Graham, who consistently published various written works related to his artistic production over more than four decades, tracing his journey through curation, performance,…

remember the masses of hulking men attempting to retrieve the airborne ball at record speeds, yet we cease to recall the long and detailed strokes of a fine haired paintbrush remaining untouched. We turn our cheeks from the smooth syrupy voices that beckon us to join. As we disregard these artistic faculties so does the district. The lack of funding in the fine arts has greatly affected the cognitive skills that alumni posses, causing them to lose abilities on a creative and abstract level.…

When a person has three thyroid nodules present, they are usually recommended to have a Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) with a guided ultrasound. Once the sample is collected and sent for testing a cytotechnologist and then a pathologist will interrupt the results. When I was doing my clinical rotations for my certificate in cytology I was told that thyroid FNAs were considered our “bread and butter”. Now, I didn’t realize what that meant at that time in my career, I just thought okay, this…

The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art consists of an abundant amount of unique and interesting pieces of art. While touring the museum, I found several pieces of art in which were rather amazing at how they were created; one could tell a lot of thought and hours of dedication were put into each piece. While there were so many pieces to choose from, I chose two pieces which stood out to me the most to discuss in my paper, one is The Jackleg Testament, Part One Jack and Eve: A Woodcut Motion…

A woman’s silhouette is seen through barred frosted windows. The camera cuts to a surveillance camera and zooms out to reveal that woman in a skin colored bodysuit stretched out on a moss green sofa like a marble sculpture. She appears to have no contact with the world outside except through the intercom and dumbwaiter. Her room is populated by reproductions of Louise Bourgeois’ fabric works created by ripping apart the dresses in her closet that she refuses to wear, and covered by texts that…

It’s also different in every culture and it a good way to communicate feelings, culture, and customs to others. An example of this I found when reading was on page 16. It was Tim…

Art is a influential mode of communication as it has the power to be a direct reflection of the cultural conditions surrounding the artist at the time of the arts creation. Art shows a side of history rarely portrayed in ancient textbooks.

Think of artwork as a reflection of the difference between the soul and the mind.…
