The Panel

Michelangelo painted the Sistine chapel between 1508 and 1512. To any visitor of Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, two features become immediately and undeniably apparent: 1) the ceiling is really high up, and 2) there are a lot of paintings up there. Because of this, the centuries have handed down to us an image of Michelangelo lying on his back, wiping sweat and plaster from his eyes as he toiled away year after year, suspended hundreds of feet in the air, begrudgingly completing a commission…

For example, I asked some my developing/expanding ELLs to create a series of cartoon panels instead of a written essay to demonstrate their content knowledge. Each panel contained a short caption to demonstrate their knowledge of the facts. In order to demonstrate higher order thinking skills such as cause and effect, the students were required to connect the panels with the appropriate transition words or phrases from the word bank. I plan to tweak this assessment as well…

electronics Not all homes have a surge protector installed at the mains panel, so this is why you need an electrician to come to the home and see if you do. If not, then they can install one while there. The benefit of adding a surge protector to the mains panel is that you can then protect devices like your air conditioning unit which are directly wired into your home's electricity system. The surge protector at the mains panel works the same as the portable one you buy at the store in that…

Fig 8: Difference between monocrystalline polycrystalline and amorphous thin film solar cells. 5.1.2 Photovoltaic (PV) solar systems in Buildings: The PV solar cells combined together to make solar panels. These panels alone cannot light up the entire building with electricity. Additionally other components are also required to complete the whole complex process of conversion of solar energy into usable electric energy. The other components used in this process help in transmission and storage…

Introduction This essay seeks to analyse the theoretical reasoning behind Louis Kahn’s approach towards non-details in his built work based on the definition of details as set out by Edward R. Ford in his publication, “The Architectural Detail.” and how it can be adapted to suit the design strategies of a multi-generation apartment. Detail is defined as “attention to or treatment of a subject in individual or minute parts”. The architectural detail starts off as a constructive or technical…

The painting, “Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints”, also known as, Colonna Altarpiece, is an Italian renaissance painting completed by Raphael in 1504. The altarpiece is painted on wood with oil and gold and its main panel is 172.4cm by 172.4 cm and depicts a woman sitting in a throne like chair in the middle third of the painting. She is dressed in a red dress covered by a black cloak with white spots, which covers most of her body from her hair to her feet. The folds in her cloak are…

violates the rights of the nation's citizens or causes a negative ecological effect that will impact other nations, such as hunting an animal into extinction. I think that a panel to examine issues such as whaling is ultimately a good idea. However, I would imagine that there could be some resistance from the local culture if the panel is made up of people who don't share their cultural values. I think that a council on whaling should look at the ecological effects of whaling ultimately. They…

experiment they made sure the goldfish had great health and were perfectly normal. A difference from this article is “ a conditioned stimulus(light) preceded presentation of the unconditional stimulus(shock)” (Nash et al 1983). Seligman only had the panels for the dogs to press while the goldfight had a signal when the shock was going to start like a warning. This is important to know because it add to the facts of how learned helplessness works and how it can happen to any animal or…
