This week has felt very blurry to me, I think I’m coming down with a cold, but still I managed to push through, so here are three learnings out of the plenty I did make. In lecture I learned a way in which to take advantage of art snobber, during seminar I learned that doubt is impossible to avoid and in the printmaking studio with Lisa I learned how much I differ from traditional printmakers. In lecture on Monday, Lisa talked about the printmaker Warrington Colescott. While I enjoyed the print we looked at (The Last Judgement, 1987, Coloretching), after looking him up I found it wasn’t my favorite of his and that I am really drawn to Secretary Seward Buys Alaska (1973, color intaglio on paper) for its use of specks to create snow and minimal …show more content…
While I think the act of printmaking is interesting and I like the way you can make multiples of art I very much dislike the idea of trying to make a set number of identical prints when I find so much beauty in having a whole edition made up of slightly different yet similar pieces of art. In fact, I want to make a set of prints with the same plate with completely different registrations to show how a position on a piece of paper shows the artwork or a set where each time the plate has something new etched into it for every print. I enjoy the etching process and I enjoy working with my hands and with paper in a way I am unfamiliar with but it all feels so silly to me work so hard to create something that will end up being the same as others. Perhaps this is because my way of looking at art is different from Lisa’s… Perhaps this is because (as I’ve discovered) I don’t find printmaking to be something that I find I am passionate about. I enjoyed the monotype process, but I enjoyed it more when I got something different every time I ran a piece of plexiglass through the press. There is also the thought that past this course printmaking feels like a way of creating art which is very inaccessible to me. I crochet because yarn is cheap, I paint with watercolors because I received them as a gift or because I have a giftcard, and I draw in sketchbooks that only cost me five dollars. Printmaking, and intaglio in particular, goes so far out of what seems to me to be a reasonable amount to spend on an artform. All of that thinking said and done, I do think that I will want to revisit printmaking eventually because I enjoy the feel of copper and the creation of delicate lines, though I doubt Lisa would appreciate just how messy I would truly like to be in the studio

Concordia University, in response to an assignment proposed by Nathalie Dumont’s Dart 280 class. I devoted a month of work to this project in February of 2014. The assignment was called Helvetica No More in which we were asked to create a poster for Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer’s typographic talk at the Design Lecture Series at Concordia University. The lecture was on the overuse of the typeface Helvetica and how design is meant to be created to explore new ideas. The poster that I produced illustrates breaking the norm of
Erik Erikson was heavily influenced by Freud but while Freud was an ID psychologist, Erikson was an ego psychologist. Erikson stressed that the development of the ego depended heavily on personal and social aspects. “According to Erikson, the ego develops as it successfully resolves crises that are distinctly social in nature. These involve establishing a sense of trust in others, developing a sense of identity in society, and helping the next generation prepare for the future” (McLeod, S. 1970). His theory focused on personality development through eight distinct stages. He believed that personality progressed in a stacking or pre-determined manner, this is referred to as the epigenetic principle. One must
My views about Ehrenreich’s novel that it was filled with educational details of minimum wage job occurrences. The author captures concrete memories of her experiences of several job positions. Working in several jobs of hard manual labor is exhausting for the mind and body. The job experiments involving all these jobs to see what many struggling people endure on a daily basis. I thought the experiments resulted in average, and intolerable work environments. Working one or two jobs was needed to survive and pay for necessities. From my perspective, it was a useful trial to show readers the hardships people of every culture deal with constantly.
Goal 2- Garner experience and practice in treatment planning and assessments through performing psychosocial and diagnostic assessments; consider methods of interventions appropriate to client presentation; develop treatment plans with supervisor for assigned clients.
The first time I began to draw, I drew stick figures and malformed animals and people. As I continued to grow and experience new things, I also improved in my art. From fifth grade to my senior year in high school, I realized a major difference in the way I drew, and also in what it meant to me. For me, drawing represented the growth I went through in life. Through the tough times, happy memories, and crushing defeats, these all accumulated and created my personality and
This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.
This week’s reading has been quite interesting (mainly the “Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass). The other reading “But Would That Still Be Me?” by Kwame Anthony Appiah has also been interesting. Both passages have been interesting because I feel like they relate to my life and my education.
She reminded me that she still had some old drawings from elementary school in her room. Together, we looked through them and laughed at some of our earliest and worst works. At the time, we thought we were amazing. And we were pretty good, for our age. But looking back, I realize that over the years I’ve gained so many skills through practice. Color, shading, composition, you name it. Through practice, both of us have improved dramatically over the years. This really made me think about how different I will be even a few years from now. If I changed that much in such a short period of time, It’s inspiring to think about how much my style will change over the next
This week was very exciting in terms of my informational interviews and being able to work security at a music event. The informational interviews not only helped being the classroom to the real world but also provided me with real examples to better strengthen the connection. I also learned a lot in terms of dealing with the public in a busy environment and how to most successfully defuse a situation in which alcohol and attitudes are involved.
I am here today to help you wade through the mazes of equipment and composition, hopefully showing you how to make better pictures.
As a child I enjoyed roaming museums that encouraged my artistic inclination. I took art classes in my free time and was exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s showcase of young artists. Creating art has helped me express my ideas and working in mixed media allows me to recreate used goods. Using plaster, paint and trashed Styrofoam, I casted a piece signifying liberation. Utilizing a broken printer, I integrated the parts to create wearable jewelry. Retrieving discarded telephone cable and candy wrappers I created sculptures that adorn small offices. Recently, I have begun oil painting. Tinting color and shading can be painstaking but has taught me patience and
Walmart’s throughout the United States continue to succeed. Two things that they continue to succeed at is telling the Walmart story in commercials, where we see they continue to lie and “staying the course.” Throughout the documentary they look into struggling families and how Walmart is a big factor in that. The Hunter family ran a hardware store by the name of H&H Hardware and after serving there town for 48 years had to close down due to the arrival of Walmart. Numerous other Mom and Pop businesses will continue to close down due to Walmart and the ability they have to drop sales and also knock the value down on numerous items. Due to most Walmart employees conscious, employees often have to stay late with no overtime pay due to the amount
The idea was to improve 3d printer with special technology, a single printer, with multi material features, can transform from any 1D strand into 3d shape, 2d surface into 3d shape or morph from one 3d shape into another. The shape of 3d technology is basic mode for 4d. Objet Connex multi-material technology is an 3D printing important part of his work – and is being used extensively in this new process. The Connex multi material technology allows the researchers to program different material properties into each of the various particles of the designed geometry and harnesses the different water-absorbing properties of the materials to active the self-assembly process. With water as its activation energy, this technique promises new possibilities for embedding programmability and simple decision making into non-electronic based materials.
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
