Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis

While rummaging through a drawer in search of an old photograph, I came across a picture of a teenage girl. Dressed in her navy and gold pep club uniform, she had positioned her pom poms so that they covered each hip. Her golden- blond hair swirled past her shoulders and as my eyes traveled downward I was shocked to see she had missing body parts--someone had taken a pair of scissors and cut her legs completely off. Tossing the photo aside, I continued my search. As I sifted through…

The Laundress painting appears to be an oil painting depicting the usage, of a laundry room. Interestingly enough most of the people (including the laundress), have their backs turned, stopping the viewers from seeing their faces. The artist choice to complement this by making each character with very soft forms, and blurred faces. You immediately get the sense that the area is very foggy. Most of the paint the artist chose to use gives off a Taupe color which puts most of the people in the…

The Milkmaid, by Johannes Vermeer, depicts this sense of realism through its simplicity and defined palette. You can see that Vermeer mainly focuses on using tones of red, blue and yellow. Allowing them to play off each other in terms of light and shadow, giving the viewers a unknown sense of the milkmaid. Purity can also be captured through the light washes and textures of the white walls in the back, allowing Vermeer’s palette to dance off of it. This mystery that lies over the milkmaid’s face…

In Giotto's "Lamentation", color is used to create emotion by using soft colors. Color used are a light blue, pale pink, soft green, creme color, light orange, etc. I believe these colors create a calm emotion such as sadness or worriness. The shade of blue that was used takes over almost of half of the picture, I believe this shade of blue is gloomy. If any bright or even dark colors were added to the painting it could take away the importance of the painting. The use of color does have a…

During his recovery, he painted The Card Players, as seen in Figure 2, in 1917. Léger continues to use tubism, primary colors, and mechanical forms, but his style has become more developed. The colors are slightly duller and, in general, there is less color in this work. Before, his paint was brighter in tone, but now the colors are getting cloudier. All that remains of any bright color is the few touches of red seen on the soldiers, presumably part of their uniform, and the yellow, which…

all stated the importance of play in child development (Karia, 2015). As stated by Karia (2015), “scholars such as John Dewey, one of America’s most famous educators and philosophers, believed that one learns by doing and that children’s play is a primary vehicle for mental growth. Therefore, child-initiated, child-directed, and teacher supported play is an essential component of developmentally appropriate practices in the early years”. From Piaget and Vygotsky works, children learn by doing…

It was a cold, sunny October day in 1981 when I was born. My mother was in labor for 8 hours and the doctors kept insisting that I was not ready yet, by the time that they finally really checked I was on the verge of falling out onto the floor. I do not have much reference for the first couple of years of my life as is typical. I do however have photos to look at and boy was I an adorable baby my hair would stand straight up. I have been told that back then I did not know a stranger and…
