decorative art over the centuries. Two of the oldest and most respected paints used by artists and craftsmen are tempera and oil paints. Used for centuries and easily made by the artist, in comparison to other paints, these were the primary paints of the Italian renaissance. These paints continued to be used in the centuries after, though tempera is not as popular as it once was, oil still remains a standard paint for modern artists. The basics of how these paints are made remain similar to the…

Prep: In order for the experiment to be conducted, there needed to be an extract available in order to soak the 7 mm disc. The way that the spices were extracted was by taking both the fresh and dry spices (Zingiber officinale (Ginger), Thymus vulgaris (Thyme), Allium sativum (Garlic), and A. cepa (Onion)) and measured out 1.5 grams of each of the spices. For the fresh spices, they had to be chopped up finely in order to get an exact measurement of 1.5 grams like the dry spices and this also…

Kit Wedd tells us in Creative Quarters that the painter’s trade within the City of London was regulated by a guild that controlled the activities of the artists who lived inside the City walls. In order to be a painter in the City it was necessary to become a member of the Painter-Stainers’ Company, but because membership was only given to Englishmen, foreign artists gathered in the numerous artists’ quarters that were quickly appearing outside the walls. The reliability of Wedd’s following…

crude oil to get to the end product. Crude oil is basically fossil fuel that has been formed from dead animals and plants from millions of years ago. Engineers go through a process of locating where oil may be by using sonar. When they believe they have found an area that has this fossil fuel, they begin by drilling a hole and then pump the crude oil out to either a barge or into a pipe that goes directly to land. Once the crude oil makes it to the refinery, they begin to break down the oil…

“Hot, Flat, and Crowded”, had a general theme throughout the entire book about the current state of the world and what we should be doing in order to make it better.

The term “Hot” refers to the current state of the climate and how the Earth is experiencing a process known as global warming. Global warming is the process by which the planet becomes increasing…

Howarth’s journal, Sustainability, Well-being, and Economic Growth, strongly advocates that “policies that promote sustainability may well lead to (some, but not unlimited) economic growth.” Unlike most nations that depend on nonrenewable resources such as oil and coal, the East Asian nations have been progressing in their development of sustainable renewable sources of energy such as solar, wind, and hydropower, and as a result, the region’s economy has been stabilizing. Clifford Krauss’s…

The great consumption of fossil fuels and the exponential increase in human population have also increase the greenhouse gases on the planet. The depletion and of petroleum and to their harm to the environment, biofuel arise as a promising option to replace fossil fuels in the future. Biofuel are derived from biomass conversion with many different examples such as biogas, biodiesel and bioethanol as the most currently used, and biofuels are considered not to leave a carbon print to the…

learn about the dynamics of an industrial farming operation to better plan our project on this farm. Ideally, we anticipate producing a hemp plant that survives the harsh environment and elevation of Colorado and produces a large seed for hemp seed oil extractions. We have designed this experiment to take 3-4 growing seasons and each season should produce a plant that is better suited to grow outdoors and produce larger seeds, which can be used each after harvesting next season’s seeds. When…

The Green Bridge II The Green Bridge II, by Lyonel Feininger, in 1916. It is an asymmetrical abstract piece made from oil paint on a canvas.
