The Shape of Things

the best shape I saw fit to describe my character. “Squiggle” (see Appendix 1) was my choice since it spoke of creativity which is a major portion of my life. Through the utilization of my resourceful perspicacity, I possess reasoning capabilities beyond the calibre of persons within my age group, with the facility to visualize what is required and take the compulsory steps to achieve them. Similarly, it would have been in my best interest to accumulate the different aspects of all the shapes,…

differentiating between primary and secondary qualities. He states that objects necessarily have shape, size, place, motion, contact, and number (primary qualities,) but they do not necessarily have color, taste, sound, smell, or feel (secondary qualities.) He establishes…

Plato writes Mmeno from the perspective of a conversation between himself and Meno, along with a slave boy and Anytus, a character relevant to the conversation between Meno and Socrates. The dialogue begins with Meno’s question that sparks the rest of the discussion: how does one acquire virtue? Socrates continues by noting that he knows ‘literally nothing’ of virtue, but this does not stop him from carrying on the conversation. Socrates asks Meno what he thinks virtue is in the first place, and…

background with varying shades from left to right in the foreground. The figures to the right are bright yellows, reds, blues, greens, whites and blacks. No recognizable geometric shapes are used in the painting: they are all organic and morph together, building off on another. The figures are made up of these morphed organic shapes, connected by lines and other forms in order to make them somewhat recognizable as “personages”. Proportions between the figures and the background are foreground…

But it is not just a general idea. They, in fact, shape the way we live, through the way we think, act, judge, and more. They determine the way we discover, interpret and apply knowledge. We create concepts by labeling or classifying our experiences or objects into classes. Concept formation is a…

identifiable shape. The art work is a 35 x 29 1/8. The artist of “Music – Pink and Blue II” is Georgia O’Keeffe. Today, this painting can be found at Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

I chose to criticize this piece of art because it is different, it caught my attention, and it made me critically think about its meaning. This piece of art included many different elements of art. There is no identifiable shape in the…

through stations where students take turns to feel the texture and observe the shape and look of each rock of Sedimentary, Igneous, and Metamorphic rocks. What I learned while working with the students on this project was how exciting and fun learning about rocks can be. The best part of the investigation was the hands-on learning experience about how rocks form their shape. In this investigation if I could do one thing differently it would be to have the stations pre-set up and already the…

consider what shape face one has, as you would when choosing a pair of shades or glasses. Every face is very different, and as well as style, one needs to consider length, which I will come to. Other factors will of course include the shape of the various parts of the head, such as the mouth, the contour of the jaw line, your nose etc. So to keep things simple we will first consider the basic face shape categories. These are…

grasp an understanding of this world, perceiving the world through our senses, and experiencing new things is crucial. The reason I agree with Locke is because is it impossible for a person to trap themselves in a small room, and avoid experiencing the world yet still gain…
