The Artistic High: Selfish Salvation Escape. It’s worth any given amount of time, money, and sacrifice. A haven; a distraction from the ordinary; an oasis of idylls. But from what exactly? A high instructs for a quick perceptual blur; an interrelated pleasure of detachment, obeyed by a climatic crash, which adds further weight to a reality somehow less livable. The trip is understood; it creates room for addiction; an insatiable thirst for an ironically cleansed state, reminiscent of an oblivious
Drain Pipes Shape Investigation Introduction A builder has a sheet of plastic measuring 2m by 50cm, which he uses to make drains. The semi-circle is the best shape for a drain. Prove this. I will prove this by comparing its volume to that of other shapes. On older houses there are semi-circular drains but on newer houses there is fancier ones like pentagon shapes. Is this because they are better or is it simply for design? To find the volume of a 3D object I have to find the
Counting Squares Method The first method I will use to find the area is the counting squares method. For this method I will draw the graph on cm paper and estimate the amount of squares that the area under the curve takes up. To do this I will first count all the whole squares, and then count all the half squares and divide that number by two to give a rough estimate of the area under the curve. Altogether I counted 10 whole squares and 14 half squares. When the half squares were divided
over time are considerable, and they can be somewhat controversial. Depending on the source and the location selected, the magnitude of deforestation varies. Southwick estimates that, approximately 10,000 years ago, 6.2 billion hectares (23.9 million square miles) of forest existed on earth (p. 117). That figure is equivalent to 45.5% of the earth's total land. He further estimates that, by 1990, this amount had declined 30%, with only 4.3 billion hectares of forest remaining (p. 117). Southwick also
made from a sheet of card. Identical squares are cut off the four corners of the card as shown in figure 1. Figure 1: [IMAGE] The card is then folded along the dotted lines to make the box. The main aim of this activity is to determine the size of the square cut out which makes the volume of the box as large as possible for any given rectangular sheet of card. 1. For any sized square sheet of card, investigate the size of the cut out square which makes an open box of the largest
Yerevan of the city is Republic Square. In the centre of the square towering over it stands a magnificent building. It houses the Museum of History of Armenia and the National Art Gallery. They are all built in the style of national architecture. In front of the National Gallery there is a beautiful fountain where the townspeople like to walk in hot summer evenings. This fountain is continued by a series of fountains in the park across the square. Also, Republic Square is the hub of major avenue and
While the overall images differ considerably, the goal of implementing the Morellian method is to identify artists’ use of the same formulas to create smaller parts of works. During the production of Image 1A (1A), the artist used a (six square by three square) checkerboard pattern to separate sections of lines of approximately the same width which rimmed the outer edge of the ceramic. These boarder-lines alternate occupying negative and positive space. A repeated use of thin hatching lines - which
Senseless: A False Sense of Perception I feel as though I have no choice but to be a skeptic about our ability to know the world on the sense experience given the information that is being presented. Our senses are touching, hearing, smelling and tasting, I believe it is quite possible that a person could think they see, touch, and smell something such as a glass of bear but there be no glass of beer present, therefore their perception of this glass of beer is false. There is a good possibility
100 + 576 = 676 262 = 676 N.B. Neither 'a' nor 'b' can ever be 1. If either where then the difference between the two totals would only be 1. There are no 2 square numbers with a difference of 1. 32 9 42 16 52 25 62 36 72 49 82 64 92 81 102 100 112 121 As shown in the above table, there are no square numbers with a difference of anywhere near 1. Part 1: Aim: To investigate the family of Pythagorean Triplets where the shortest side (a) is an odd number and
rectangular card that has all four corners having had squares cut out of them. Firstly I will be studying the volume whilst changing the side of one length of the cut out square and the size of the original rectangle card. After I have investigated this relationship I will try to find out the formula for finding the cut size to get the largest volume for any specified original card size. Square card size I am going to begin by investigating a square card because this will give me a basic formula
cuboid using a square with smaller squares cut out from each corner to then fold it up into a cuboid. Cut out the red squares and fold inwards on the blue lines to get a cuboid. To get the maximum volume from the cuboid you need to work out the sizes of the squares you want to cut out from each corner. The formula I used to work out the volume for each cuboid was height x width x length. Height is the width or length of the cut out square. Width is the length of the square minus 2H, (2H
Dynamic of Communication Analyzing Space Paper Space is crucial when it comes to communicating, the space that you are surrounded by will shape all aspects of the communicating you do. Space is always communicating meaning and from the spaces I observed on campus and in the Student Center I drew meaning from them which allowed me to understand what each space is communicating and what see how each space encouraged or hindered communication. In this paper I will explain my critiques as well
Ad Reinhardt Abstract Painting 19601965 Ad Reinhardt's painting, Abstract Painting 1960-65, is at first glance' a black square canvas. The subject matter seems to be just what it is, a black painting. There are no people. No event or action is taken except for the fact that Reinhardt has made the painting. The title only provides us with the information that we are looking at an abstract painting. The only other information that the artist gives you is the time period, in which it was conceived
press the space bar. A small fixation dot will appear in the center of the screen, it is necessary to stare at the dot. Place your left index finger on the V key and your right index finger on the M key. A fraction of a second later a red or green square will appear to the left or the right...
awake or asleep. However, he admitted that there were certain “truths” that were consistent with whether he was awake or asleep. Mathematics and logic are ideas that hold true regardless of the situation For example, two plus three equals five and a square has four equal sides. These beliefs remained constant in all states of living. In regard to dreams, Descartes spoke of what he called the “Evil Demon”. His “Evil Demon” argument was that one is being tricked by an outside source. This outside source
INTRODUCTION In the present day world, many schools and educational institutes burden students with the memorisation of multiple surface area formulas for a particular prism. It is vital to have the understanding of how various surface area formulas make geometry appear a hard stream of mathematics. The aim of this directed investigation is to discuss the topic question “Is it possible to develop a general formula for the surface area of any prism” and furthermore to develop a formula that can be
Introduction The constellation I've chosen is Orion (or "The Hunter"). The reason for my choice is because, having previously studied Muggle Astronomy, I know it harbours the red giant star Betelgeuse; this star is believed to be on the brink (astronomically speaking!) of going supernova and is expected to be the next star to go supernova within the Milky Way. Indeed, all the eyes of Muggle Astronomers are upon it, as the last directly observed supernova explosion in our galaxy dates back to 1604
of certain shapes such as octagon and more complex polygons. In such cases, given shapes are split into shapes that have known formulae for areas and the worked out the areas are added together. Areas of the following shapes were investigated: square, rectangle, kite, parallelogram, equilateral triangle, scalene triangle, isosceles triangle, right-angled triangle, rhombus, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon and octagon. Results The results of the analysis are shown in Table 1 and Fig 1. Table
Malevicth red square The painting Red Square by Russian painter Kasimir Malevich is a particularly interesting piece. It is simple red square on a white background representing a peasant woman. It is an example of the Malevich's unique style of suprematism, which focuses on motion and feeling. The painting was done near the beginning of the twentieth century when science was developing at a rapid rate. Einstein's Theory of Relativity was gaining ground at the time. Malevich's painting seemed
companies in the world, Square Enix CO., LTD has produced over one hundred games in the early 1980's. When the gaming industry first began, its livelihood was questionable. Square Enix CO., LTD has answered that question with undeniable success. While it began as two separate companies, Square Enix has grown and rightfully taken its place as a leader in the video game market. Its inception was a blip on the screen in 1982 when Enix Corporation first opened its doors. (SQUARE ENIX, n.d) Four years
