These elements had to collide to create artwork that represented the human condition. I have found that through my process there are also these two opposites at play when constructing my artwork. Not only do these opposites form the artwork in the most complete way but they also connect with…

Babies can only See in Black and White The visual system is the most complex sensory system in the human body (Swartout-Corbeil, n.d.), which contains receptor cells that are sensitive to the physical energy of light. However, it is very immature system at birth. A neonate is unable to see patterns because of the immature optic muscles. William James, the great 19th century philosopher and psychologist, once described the sensory-perceptual world of infants as a "blooming, buzzing confusion"…

The act of growing up is difficult, and middle school is one of the hardest grade levels to make it through.

nuclei (LGN) are ‘olive’ like in shape and are found either side in the posterior thalamus. They receive input via the optic tract, which is the link between the thalamus and the LGN. [12] The input comes from both eyes and projects information to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. [2] The medial geniculate nucleus is also found in the thalamus. It is responsible for auditory pathways. It receives auditory signals from both ears and projects them to the primary auditory cortex. Having a…
