Shape

When looking at the floor plan of the Kaufmann Desert House by Richard Neutra, the first thing that was drawn to my attention was all the similar geometry, specifically the L shaped geometries. They were all different shapes and sizes, and were facing all different directions, There was a sense of repetition embedded within the floor plan. A central axis stood out, and it was obvious that all the L shaped geometries were rotated around this central axis, and then shifted off of it. Diagram one…

Originally I was unsure on which investigation to pick however after looking at each in detail the T-Shaped investigation seemed more logical to me. At the beginning, I took a very random approach in picking the different T-Shapes (10, 20, 39, 5) I could not draw much of a conclusion (see figure one.) After reevaluating, I decided to take a more systematic approach, going along number by number to work out the T total. I was unable to start at T1 because of the number grid, therefore the first…

the painting a little more realistic feeling. The feathers do not look completely real, but the texture gives it a better feeling and meaning of them being true feathers. It also used lines to create form and shape. The way the painting was structured allowed different lines to create the shape that was being produced. I believe that these two visual elements worked together to give the painting the feeling of having an actual feather being present throughout the picture. In the painting, color…

direction, emphasis, rhythm, repetition, center of interest, etc. Thank you for sharing your wonderful earthwork to the class Ms. Thi. The stones that you choose are very distinct, I like how they differ in shapes and yet they connect to each other. The flat stone in the middle is just the right size and shape to hold the two small stones on top. I also admire the green leaves and the light grayish blue rocks, and the small touch of yellow flower on the right side of the photograph, the…

of my race, and the author really touches the soft part of the reader and the poem was very relatable. A conclusion that can be drawn is that how a person's race can be such a huge part of how someone thinks about one another, and how race can shape a person’s identity in so many ways. First of all, one reason that affects a persons social and cultural identity and inequality is gender. In the poem "Women" page 445 by " Alice Walker", the texts "husky of voice", " stout of step", and "head…

Ms. Otts, I have the 6 on the bear plus one more.” Cohen says, “I have 6, too.” Ms. Otts praises the students for working so hard and doing such a good job. She allows the students to make different shapes with the play doh, while she goes to a different table. After a few minutes, Haigen shows the shape of a triangle. “Look, Emma, I made a triangle.” Emma replies, “I made a heart, but it’s following apart.” “Cohen, what are you making?” Cohen replies, “I was making a rectangle, but it was too…

that shaped my life Text are everywhere in our daily lives and we come across all kinds of texts everyday. Some of the texts are useless and what we usually do it to ignore them while others are essential to us, these texts are the ones that shape our lives. In the book Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglas, the speech of the author’s master enlightened the author that lack of knowledge is the reason why black people were slaved by the white, thus he learned to read and write by all…

“And while I had to lack after the savage who was a fireman…to look at him was edifying as seeing a dog in a parody of breeches and a feather hat, walking on his hind legs…he was useful and had been instructed (www.SparkNotes.com).” As a result, it seemed that no matter how educated the Natives became, they were still seen as being a lesser people to the whites. From racism, the idea of civilization vs. uncivilized life came about. Conrad used the “light and dark” difference regarding this.…

dimensional world, whose citizens consist of shapes like triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, and circles. This world is divided into a class system where the more sides or angles you have, the higher in class a person is. In Flatland, all figures must be regular and by regular they mean equal sided. Every shape is in its more honorable state if it has equal length in all sides. But there is the the rare situation when an irregular shape is born. Irregular shapes are viewed as extremely…

frustrating at times, but it also brings people together in times of pain and need. Unfortunately, the media causes their audience to stereotype certain groups of people, which makes some new stories to cause things to get out of hand. The news media shapes our society by reporting on gun control, racism, and the economy. In the media you hear many stories about gun violence. Recently in Virginia we had a shooting on August 26th 2015, at WDBJ 7 in Roanoke. Gunman Vester Lee Flanagan II, age…
