The Shape of Things

felt my soul surrounded by an infinite power, it felt so soothing and warm I just wanted to abandon myself to the feeling and let my soul disperse in there, but then I remembered my quest and purpose. I cannot die here! I decide there is only one thing I can do, I focus my mind attempting the most brute force system of using magic, direct control, that in the case of my supreme spell is like trying to solve hundreds of differential equations at once without pen or paper, what could go wrong?…

religion, language, stories, poems and music. Culture is then defined even further, it is categorized into, material and nonmaterial culture. Material culture is anything physical that shapes people’s lives. Basically, anything made by humans. For example, our flag. United States of America is represented by many things, but our flag is sacred and respected and every part of it represents something. Non material culture…

capturing places, but it only becomes beneficial once the public gives it a real chance at engaging with it. The curator at the Museum of Modern Art, gives the public the chance to interpret a logical meaning of the exhibits formation. "The Shape of Things: Photographs from Robert B. Menschel", was a step back into the early ages of photography and an eye-opening experience for a viewer to make a connection of. The availability of knowledge in an exhibit such as this one, grows a sense of…

effect can also affect the composition. The boat is not centered and there are more people on one side of the painting than the other which also makes it asymmetric. There are more cool colors used in this painting then there is warm. I see a couple things that are red and a few that are a light yellow color, but besides that, there are all cool colors being used. The red is in two scarfs and the yellow is in the man’s scarf and the boats in the background. In this painting, they use several…

Immigrants over the years have helped to shape many parts of America, however, one interesting group to specifically take not of is the Italians. When considering the Italians immigration there are many things to take note of; for instance where did the Italians typically settle? What kind of influence did these immigrants have on New York’s formation as a whole? After these questions the next ones become: what kind of social status did the immigrants hold, as well as what were they known for?…

the “best” Christmas tree? Having sold fresh cut Christmas trees for many years, I can attest to the old adage that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In truth, your best fresh Christmas tree may look vastly different than someone else’s. Size, shape, branch density, needle length, color and fragrance are some of the personal preferences that will play into the final decision. For many of us, there is a specific tree species that just “smells like Christmas,” because we grew up with that…

Jean Piaget, a Swiss developmental psychologist, pioneered the study of cognitive development in children. Piaget charted a developmental sequence of stages during which the child constructs increasingly complex notions of the world, and he described how the child acts at each level and how this activity leads to the next level. These four progressive stages of cognitive development are: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the stage of concrete operations and the stage of formal…

a natural and completely healthy curve. There are three major ways in which the spine can curve. First, is called levoscoliosis, this is a single curve to the left making the shape of the letter C. The second is the opposite called dextroscoliosis. Dextroscoliosis is a single curve of the spine to the right making the shape of a backwards letter C. Finally, the spine can have a levoscoliosis curve and dextroscoliosis curve, creating the…

perception, there’s a classical example of grouping and segregation working together, which is a version of Rubin’s reversible face-vase figure. Face-vase figure is a figure-ground articulation, two blue faces can be grouped due to they have same shape, and vase is separated. In auditory perception, there also has grouping and segregation. When I listen to a love song given by one woman and one man, I can quickly distinguish their voice due to they have different pitch (simultaneous segregation)…

From reading “The Awakening” by Kate Chopin, I can see that she used language in many ways in relation to race, gender and identity. Language was used in the development of each character in the novel, including the secondary characters. Chopin’s use of language in relation to identity is the most obvious technique used in the novel, particularly surrounding the main protagonist, Edna. “The Awakening,” is a novel revolved around one woman’s identity crisis and the process of her ‘awakening.’…
