...When we hear the word comic book or graphic novel, we tend to think of the small paper books we remember buying when we were children featuring action heroes like Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, or Ironman. Installation art is surely not something that generally pops into our mind when we hear those words, but one artist proved that comics can be read and displayed in more ways than one. Kerry James Marshall incorporated his own comic strip into a site specific installation work that he presented covering the glass panels of the display cases in a museum. He titled this piece Rythm Mastr, produced in 1999-2000 the 20 (17 X 11 inch) double page, two-sided printed newspaper comics where made using a photocopy of ink drawing and design marker on paper. This piece is a representational narrative that Marshall uses to try and bridge the gap between modern art and African art. Throughout the comic strip there are many visual elements incorporated into the work, I will point out a few of these. One of the first visual elements that I noticed was the artist’s use of implied time and motion, which is defined as “non-moving image(s) that shows movement through the attributed present in the image.” For example take the stances of the figures and superheroes in the comic strip, each one has its own individual way of showing movement, whether it is the front foot being lifted off the ground, or the arms coming out from the figures sides as it is about to step forward. The artist does...

I have been to this Museum many times in the past and one of the collections of Art that I always gravitate towards is the African Art. This collection of Art consists of artworks from Sudan, Central Africa and West Africa. These objects consisted of ceremonial masks made of wood, feathers, plant fibers, beads, fur, cloth, copper and other miscellaneous objects, Wooden figured called Pounders, religious scrolls and books and other artifacts pertaining to their culture. In this exhibit contained many masks. Two of the mask that was most interesting to me was a mask called the “Elephant Society Mask” and “Bwoom Helmet Mask.” The Elephant Mask was made by canvas embroidered with beads. It was from the Bamileke kingdom. Men that were members of this kingdom called Kuosi wore these masks to major festivals and royal funerals, the mask represent the royal elephant.

...Wayne White “ Beauty is Embarrassing” Originality is the key element in art. History has taught us that the world is in a constant change and that art is a living proves of this. The biggest artist’s, the most remembered ones have been able to brake social and esthetic parameters of their times and manage to create epic pieces of work that left not only a legacy behind but a new chapter in art history. Wayne White is still writing his history and trying to leave a legacy in the world of art but he as managed to become extremely popular because of his many talents which includes, animator, illustrator, director, puppeteer, painter, sculptor, cartoonist, and set designer. This variety of abilities led him to have a name in today’s art world and he is admired and respected but the art community of the world. Throughout his work White expresses himself emotionally and leads to many biographical themes but also manages at the same time to express irony and comedy in many of his pieces. The movie “ Beauty is Embarrassing” takes us through White’s journey not only in art but on life showing us the depth and meaning behind his work. The very first thing that plays an important roll on White’s work was his first job has a puppeteer (“Punk and Juicy”). This introduced him into the art world and although he already knew how to draw from an early age, by becoming a puppeteer he understood that art could be used to entertain people. This led to an inner change in him and marked his...

...Amadou Diallo Survey of Visual Arts Professor Roman 11/2/14 Review: “Brides of Anansi: Fiber and Cotemporary Art” Going into the exhibit I was not entirely sure what I would be looking at. Initially I believed we were going to see a lot of paintings, particular oil on canvas based on what we were doing in class. However when I actually went inside and got to take a look at all of the pieces, I was pleasantly surprised. I felt like many of these pieces were very good, however the ones that really stood out to me were Xenobia Bailey’s Paradise Under Reconstruction in the Aesthetic of Funk along with Joyce J. Scott’s wooden figure, and Januwa Moja’s Queen of Spades. Bailey’s piece easily grabbed my attention simply because of some of the elements she used in it. Her quilting patterns in particular were brilliant and resembled a style of ghanaian kente cloth with a twist of native american craftsmanship. Scott’s use of plastic beads, glass and various cloths to decorate her wooden figure stayed true to the theme of “Brides of Anansi”, however it also added another element of diversity due to the fact that some of the decorations looked asian as well. The two pieces being right beside one another was especially eye popping for me because I thought they were initially done by the same person, and I really liked how they complemented each other. Moja’s Queen of Spades was similar to Scott’s wooden figure in that they were both pieces that used humanoid figures, however...

...“O Brother Where Art Thou” review by Nicholas Drake “O Brother Where Art Thou” is a film, that if you have not yet seen it, you should do so. It takes little to know time to recognize the influence of Homer’s The Odyssey in the film, as it is based off of the epic. Set in rural Mississippi in the 1940’s, we join the story where Ulysses McGill (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro), and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) are escaping prison in a search for a “hidden treasure”. Along their journey, the three cross paths with bank robbers, con artists, a mass baptism, and they almost see their demise. The music used in the film, contributes tremendously to its tone. The use of oldies and bluegrass music makes for a better viewing experience because of the visuals used in the film. Farmlands, cotton fields, dirt roads, and Dapper Dan’s hair pomade along with the music used in the film help create the experience of what life was like in rural Mississippi during the 1940’s. Ulysses McGill, played by George Clooney, acts as an Odysseus like character. Though his performance is not knock-your-socks-off good, Clooney does do the role justice and carries the sarcastic comedy that occurs frequently in the film. Turturro and Nelson’s characters, Pete and Delmar serve as sidekicks to Clooney but contribute to the plot seamlessly. Other characters like Big Dan played by John Goodman and Babyface Nelson played by Michael Baddalucco serve as plot twisters in the film. While their roles do not contribute...

...Selektivna izložba Aprilski Salon 2012 je jedinstvenog tipa, jer prvenstveno okuplja naše poznate bosanskohercegovačke umjetnike koji dolaze iz Udruženja ZDO kantona, koje je podružnica ULUBiH-a. Samom tom činjenicom smo svjesni koliko različitom, a ipak u nekim segmentima i sličnom formom i stilom vladaju naši umjetnici. Po mišljenju Oscara Wilde-a: ‘Umjetnik je kreator lijepih stvari’, pa zasigurno možemo reći da sve što ova izložba daje sigurno spada pod pojmom “lijepog” ali i samo to je individualno kao i stilovi i tematika koja nam se predstavlja na izložbi. Rado ostavljam samog posmatrača da napravi svoj dojam izložbe i radova kroz moju malu pomoć koja slijedi. Svako od djela ima svoj intezitet i jačinu, koja privlači oko posmatrača i ulazi u dubine umjetničke kreacije. Ova grupa umjetnika se izražava kroz više umjetničkih formi i žanrova u svom slikarstvu kao što su crtež, grafika, neki pejzaž, apstrakcija i portret. Tematika same izložbe, kao i njen stilski i konceptualni sadržaj je dosta raznovrstan. Generalno govoreći, većina umjetnika radi sa dozom apstrakcije tj. kompozicije koja postoji nezavisno od vizualnih elemenata u realističkom svijetu. Djela mogu da predstavljaju odlazak od realnosti, da li to bilo malo, djelimično ili u potpunosti, zavisi od posmatrača. Njihova djela su oličenja i daju naznake pokreta Fuvista, koji koriste jake boje iznad realističnih prikaza. Mi smo svjedoci umjetničkih djela koja prave most između realnog i nadrealnog, između prošlosti...

If you were doing a simple research paper you could write about performance reviews based on research alone. In this Sr Paper you must determine the state of the art based on your Literature Review. Then you will give the background of the problem and discuss it. This must all lead to two Courses of Action (COAs; solutions) that are tied to your title and problem. You need a “product” such as a process, a plan, a strategy, a program – something that can be recommended and implemented. Problem Statement (if not finalized post a draft – focus on the "pain.") The problem is that after initial training employees are not being reviewed for current performance. Suggest that after this initial statement you add something more about the problem. Brief Topic Overview The casino is experiencing a high turnover rate of employees because after their initial training they are put on the floor without any further review. In the handbook employees are supposed to have a review after 90 days but they are not being implemented. This leaves the casino with under qualified employees that eventually terminate their employment due to not feeling able to meet the high demands. The solution to this problem, if it is the problem, is simple. Just IMPLEMENT PERFORMANCE REVIEWS. You can see...

...SYNOPSIS Leadership and the Art of Change, gives an insightful look at how to lead change within an organization and most importantly do so with success. The author, Lee Roy Beach begins with a look at Wayne a young executive filled with desire to lead an organization on his own after several years of working closely with CEO’s.
