Group of Seven

The Group of Seven is recognized by their singular pieces of art work. The individuals of the Group of Seven are ultimately the most celebrated artists in Canadian History. The fine artwork of the Group of Seven went far further than showcasing their talent. This group began with a number seven members, hence the name, Group of Seven, but as they continued as a group they eventually grew to include ten artists (1). The Group of Seven launched with artists, Franklin Carmichael, Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, Frank Johnston, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald and Frederick Varley (2). Later came A.J. Casson (1926), Edwin Holgate (1930), and L.L. FitzGerald (1932) (3). The Group of Seven had been formed in 1913, uniting the seven painters together, but had not showcased their work as the Group of Seven until the 1920’s, which had marked the founding of the group (4). The group had been active since 1920 - to December 1931, marking their last exhibition (5). The Group of Seven had achieved many goals as a body, but the most important achievement was to bring the community to attain mindfulness about their surroundings and the true beauty that lies in their country. The group decided to explore the character of Canada’s landscapes through their art, a style that would break them from European tradition (5).…

The Group of Seven was a group of Canadian landscape painters, from 1920-1933. The Group of Seven was a group of painters known for their paintings of the Canadian landscape which rejected realism and incorporated bold strokes and heavy paint. The Canadian Group of Painters' policy was "to encourage and foster the growth of art in Canada which has a national character." And I believe this is a motto, that has truly aided with the Great Depression, because encouraging art, to me, is just like…

Zodiac (2007) is a American Neo-noir mystery-thriller based on the real events of the Zodiac case. It is an excellent mixture of nerve-racking suspense and desperately obsessed police procedural work. Director David Fincher is famous for his interest in experimenting and exaggerating with mystery and anticipation in his films, and Zodiac successfully keeps viewers on the edge with its elusive and uncertain narrative. However, the plot of the film is not about the actual killer, but more of the…

Working in groups can be difficult. This semester, in one of my classes we have a group project that we have to work on throughout the semester. In my group there are seven people. We all are responsible for turning in a final paper, presentation, and evaluating one another. As college students, it is difficult to get everyone to work on the project at once. My group members and I introduced each other when we were placed in the group. Afterwards, we have not meet once in person. We communicate…

Moreover, we did not have any problem about the times and dates for our meetings. The requirement for this group project that we had to meet three times before the due date. That was not a big deal for us. The schedules for our meetings were on Wednesday night and Thursday night around seven pm. We decided to meet at library because library has the group study rooms. At there, we could talk and discuss about our project. On the first meeting, everyone came on time. We discussed about the…

The research everyone had collected installed much needed confidence that this group will do well. All of our assigned task were completed on time and throughout the week there was increased communication between members. Here you could see the process of Norming becoming reality as everyone began to socialize and were more comfortable with each other. There has been a degree of personal difficulty and sort of a personal joke for me. On week one my desk top computer died on me, on week two…

Clinical Reflection: Group Meeting I arrived thirty minutes earlier for the meeting scheduled at seven that evening, but the parking lot was almost full and teeming with activity. There were people talking, laughing, and some were loitering, wandering aimlessly before proceeding through a discreet door; ten minutes prior to the scheduled start. Hence, the scene reminded me more of an enthusiastic crowd being ushered in before the movie start or an eager bunch queueing up for the latest…

Our group has had a rough start and a rough finish for project 1. The group consisted of eight people and one would think with eight people the work would not have been so tough. However, we did work well together when we did work, we collaborated and agreed on ideas, and we worked together to achieve some sort of product. Unfortunately along the way there were communication issues, and confusion. In the beginning, it was bright and people seemed to want to do great work for the project. That…
