Museum Visual Analysis The artwork that I chose to write about was a piece that was at the Arlington Museum of Art. The artist and title to this piece are unknown. I chose this particular piece because it was one of the first pieces of art that drew my attention. The colors were so vivid, bright, and full of life. Though there is no mention to the artist I believe that he or she were creating this piece to bring some kind of joy or happiness, a sense of peace for one to just be able to empty the…

Mark Rothko painted this work, known as Untitled (Black on Grey), during 1969 through 1970. To make this work, Rothko used acrylic paints directly on a white canvas. He used different shades of black for the top rectangle, and shades of grey, brown, and lavender on the bottom rectangle. The colors chosen symbolize a dark period in his life, as during the time when he created this work his physical health was declining and he suffered from depression. Unlike many of his previous works, the…

Although hydraulic fracturing has been in use for oil and natural gas drilling since the early 1900’s, its detrimental effects have only recently been brought to the public’s attention. Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is the use of a pressurized, chemically treated mixture of water and sand to release and extract quantities of natural gas and petroleum from shale rock. This mining process and its toxins are harmful to thousands of people across the nation. Hydraulic fracturing is a dangerous…

about how the beaches that penguins live on are contaminated with a oil spill. “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “The Seabird Chronicles” have similarities and differences like similarity in conflict but differences in setting. “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” and “The Seabird Chronicle” both have similarity in conflict. In “The Amazing Penguin Rescue” african penguins living on a island on the atlantic ocean, get covered in oil from a oil tanker are rescued by people. The penguins are fed,cleaned…

Hydraulic fracturing, also known simply as fracking, is a process used to extract natural gas and oil from beneath the earth’s surface. This process is accomplished by drilling a well and pumping pressurized water, proppants such as sand, and chemicals into that well; the result of this process is that fractures occur within the targeted layer of shale rock, which allow for extraction of the desired gas and oil (Hyder and Lerner 2250). As a cleaner burning fuel, natural gas continues to be an…

The artworks I have chosen to discuss grabbed my attention through visual and emotions more than any other pieces of artwork. I want to compare and contrast the works of Gioia Fonda, because of the skill and patience needed to emplace art inside of the jars. Each artwork was created in 2017 and displayed at the Shasta College Art Gallery. Mt. Foolery captures the eye by gold flakes setting the ground floor with browns and black to show the mountains rising from the earth. The mountains made…

Obama’s Spill on Green Energy Eleven lives were lost; wildlife was coated in the millions of gallons of thick, black oil that was suspended in the Gulf of Mexico; and the United States wanted answers. Almost 2 months after the BP oil spill on April 20, 2010, President Obama addressed the United States concerning the disaster, and the country eagerly awaited what their leader would say. Obama’s goal was to tactfully provide information and a solution, for the present and future. As a televised…

scenes. Pieter was born in 1525 in the Netherlands and died in 1569 in Brussels, Belgium (Pieter Bruegel, the Elder). This painting was created in c.1562 – c.1563, during Bruegel’s Brussels Period of his own art. The medium used for this creation was oil on panel, and it is currently being displayed at Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. Other notable works of his include The Hunters in the Snow, Netherlandish Proverbs, and The Peasant Wedding. This painting portrays a harrowing picture, abundant…

Main Concept The Progressive Era saw several acts of legislation that would change the way American society operated. Sherman-Anti Trust Act In 1890 big business controlled much of the American economy. The Sherman Act allowed the United States government for the first time to investigate a business. The government would look for "artificial raising of prices," or, a monopoly. Any company who was hurting the economy by driving up prices would be broken apart. The government would attempt…

Hydraulic Fracturing for oil and natural gas is possibly one of the most misunderstood parts of drilling around. The term itself is almost as bad for some as racial slanders. Countries have banned the process and even some states such as Colorado have placed embargos on the process until more research is available. Environmental groups storm capitals at the sound of the word demanding more regulations. What many don’t realize is that the oil business has been using the same process for 70 years…
