...Brutalism originated in the mid-1950s and was based on the work of modern architecture pioneer Le Corbusier. It refers to the buildings which having distinct sculptured form, bold geometries and material rigor - usually in rough or textured concrete. Le Corbusier purposed that Architecture ‘is to establish emotional relationships by means of raw materials’. Goldstein Hall as a brutalist buildings with an emphasis on structural expression and extreme material honesty invoked a matter of ‘harmonies’ and ‘a pure creation of the spirit’. Goldstein Hall is designed by Peter Hall, who completed the design of the Sydney Opera House after the resignation of Jørn Utzon. As the idiom of the ‘Sydney School’, Goldstein Hall reflected the natural qualities of the Sydney bushland as well as using materials in an unadorned, “honest” manner. It demonstrates how the Sydney School interpreted Brutalism with expressive use of materials and impressive communal spaces ....

...Live Theatrical Performance Helen Robinson HUM/103 Intructor Bjorn Mercer March 10, 2013 Abstract This article gives an analysis of a theatre performance Les Miserable directed by Tom Hooper. It analyses on the best aspects of the play that was performed on stage. The play is a musical and an acting performance with the main character being Jean Valean. An analysis of the plot is given and also the sub plots with the characters featured. The performance by Les Miserable is one that has combined the aspects of art and theatre performance in the most professional manner. The director Tom Hooper has used the musical genre in this performance and this makes it the most pleasing aspect of the performance. Not many directors are able to work on such a master piece. The dialogues are not spoken like it happens in other performance, they are sung in beautiful lyrics that are able to arouse the audience emotions more than it would be in a spoken dialogue. The musical aspect runs down and the most enjoyable part is when the character Eponine sings two songs that feature Samantha Barks. The performance is therefore able to capture the audience since not just mere monologues and spoken dialogues among the actors are involved. The audience can view the inner voice of an actor he or she is left all alone on stage. The transition from one scene to the next is carried out in a perfect way that is not too fast creating suspense within the audience...

...The Misanthrope – Moliere The Masks We Wear Moral character types emerged during the latter stages of Greek literature, specifically in the new comedy of Menander; preceded by the creation of Theophrastus’ stock characters, which were based on observation of everyday life. First introduced to audiences in 1666, Moliere staged The Misanthrope in the upper-class salon of Celimene. Essentially, the salon is a microcosm of the royal court. In between duties at Louis XIV’s court, the elite townspeople gathered to converse, trade compliments, exchange insults, and scrutinize one another. French society was defined by courtly norms, which, amusingly were being refined on a constant basis. The Misanthrope, often referred to as not only a comedy of manners, but a comedy of character, as well, was theater that functioned as a reflection of its spectators in order to enact social change. Moliere based his plays on French farce and commedia dell’arte. Plots of deception interspersed with objective play represented French farce, while commedia dell’arte had set situations, unrehearsed dialogue, and actors in masks representing a specific character type. The combination of the two was perfectly aligned in The Misanthrope as Moliere utilized the stock characters to introduce stylized production and dialogue. By placing the stock characters into a society of his own time with dialogue reflective of his present day circumstances, Moliere created individuality in his characters that allowed...

...Impressionist Movement. This renowned work of art which illustrates a view of the port of Le Havre in north-western France is considered to be one of Monet’s “most poetic expressions” of his engagement with France’s revitalization efforts after the Franco-Prussian War. Unlike other artworks of the time, the subject matter and specific painting techniques evident in Impression, Sunrise seek to transcribe the feelings initiated by a scene rather than simply rendering the details of a particular landscape. This act of expressing an individual’s perception of nature was a key characteristic and goal of Impressionist art, and is a common motif found in Monet’s paintings. While Impression, Sunrise and Monet’s artistic technique fell under harsh criticism at their outset, Monet’s masterpiece gave birth to a new movement and created a revolution in the world of art. Widely regarded as Monet’s single most famous painting, Impression, Sunrise was completed during the late nineteenth century in 1872. The most significant aspect of the painting is its credit with giving the Impressionist Movement its name. When the painting was first shown to the public in the L’Exposition des Révoltés—an exhibition independent of the Salon that was organized by Monet, Bazille, Pissarro, and their friends—many critics were extremely disapproving of the rebel group’s work, especially that of Monet.[2] In the April issue of Le Charivari, a critic named Louis Leroy judgmentally entitled his article “Exhibition...

...Les Misérables: Journal Entries Fantine: * Theme: “You have left a place of suffering. But listen, there will be more joy in heaven over tears of repentant sinner than over the white robes of a hundred good men” (Page 27) * Heaven is gladder when sinners forsake of its sins, than with the good men just being the same all throughout. “He lived peaceable, reassured, and hopeful, having but two thoughts: to conceal his life, and to sanctify his life: to escape from men and to return to God.”(Page 72) * He wanted to change his life, but still the natural man is still part of his mighty change of heart. Every time he would always have two thoughts: which is the desire of changing, and the other is the natural man that wants to rebel again. * Character: “See here! My name is Jean Valjean. I am a convict: I have been nineteen years in the galleys. Four days ago I was set free, …… I went to an inn, and they sent me away on account of my yellow passport …… I am very tired—twelve leagues on foot, and I am so hungry. Can I stay?” (Page 17) * Jean Valjean described himself in this quotation, he sees his life as an empty glass no one is accepting him after hew as set free. He then said, his tired of trying his chance to accommodate himself with people, but people is pushing him away on his yellow passport. “He thought he saw himself, older, doubtless, not precisely the same in features, but alike in attitude and appearance...

...Inside the Mind of Giselle Esteban Giselle Esteban, 27 has been accused of murdering Michelle Le, 26. Le went missing on May 27, 2011 and was found in a shallow grave in the Sunol-Pleasanton wilderness on September 17, 2011. Esteban was indicted on December 14, 2011 and entered a plea of not guilty. In November of 2011, Giselle gave birth to her 2nd child. Her trial date is set for September 17, 2012. (Kurhi, 2011). Using a bio-psychosocial approach, we are trying to understand why she thought, acted and felt the way that she did. One can consider, what was the biology of her mind, the psychology of her motivation, and the social aspect of her memories? Here we consider the possibilities of what causes a person to terminate another human’s life? Esteban 3 Giselle and Michelle were friends at Mt. Carmel high school in San Diego. Eventually, they relocated to the bay area. Giselle lived in an apartment in Union City. She was involved with a man named Scott Marasigan and their relationship resulted in a daughter who is now about five years old. Scott was awarded custody of their daughter and a restraining order, to prevent Giselle from having access to either Scott or their daughter, on May 24, 2011, just 3 days before Michelle disappeared. Giselle has accused Michelle and Scott of having an affair. Michelle was a nursing student at Samuel Merritt University Kaiser in Oakland, California and worked for Kaiser Permanente Medical...

...problem solving. This discipline helps counselors understand the psychology aspects of the clients in order to treat and solve the common problems of the client. Albert Ellis, founder of rational- emotive therapy was born to a Jewish family in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1913 (Parrott Les III, 2003). At the age of four, he moved to Bronx New York, where he contributes most of his intelligence drive and persistence from his father who was never present in the home. Through his parents’ divorce, Albert decided not to become a teacher of Hebrew, instead a probabilistic a theist. As a young adolescent Ellis dreamed of becoming a writer, he would work until he was 30, then retire and devote his time to writing. Ellis obtained his baccalaureate degree in business administration in 1934 (Parrott LesIII, 2003) at New York City College. Despite his depressive state he remained employed until mid 1940’s (Parrott Les III, 2003). During his spare time, he wrote fictions which was very disappointing to his mythical efforts. Ellis wrote eight novels and after several publishers reject them, he decided to study psychology. Ellis continues his education and received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1947 (Parrott Les III, 2003) from Columbus University. Ellis interests lead him to psychoanalysis where he practices with his patients with little change in his or her dysfunctional behavior. Ellis decided to use his own techniques in practicing with the patients. Today Ellis, remain in New York...

La dépression implique non seulement l'esprit, il faut également le corps et les pensées. Dans des cultures différentes, ceux qui se plaignent de maux de tête excessive et la douleur extrême sont identifiés comme ayant la dépression {2}. Cette maladie peut être transmise par l'intermédiaire de gènes peut suivre des événements extérieurs ou peut être causée par un déséquilibre chimique dans le cerveau. La dépression touche vingt pour cent de tous les Américains et 12,2% des Canadiens {3}, certains sans même s'en apercevoir, au cours de leur vie. La dépression n'est pas une maladie qui influence seulement les hommes ou les enfants de trois à onze ans. Chaque être humain est une victime possible de la dépression. Bien que les femmes sont trois fois plus susceptibles de souffrir de dépression que les hommes {4}, les hommes sont cinq fois plus susceptibles de se suicider quand déprimés que les femmes. Certains pensent que les femmes ont un rôle social moins agréable et leurs hormones les rendent plus vulnérables à la dépression.

...Les Miserables is a movie about people with miserable lives. Each of them has a unique story that portrays why their lives are miserable. The sacrifices and pains of the lead characters in this movie are intense and breathtaking. Jean Valjean is a convict in a French prison. He’s been serving his sentence for 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread for the daughter of his sister that was starving to death and trying to escape prison as well. Javert a police inspector is keen enough to hover over prisoner 64201—Valjean. Javert then grants Valjean his parole since his sentence is over. The parole has itineraries for which Valjean must abide at all times. It includes the yellow badge that Valjean shall wear at all times to show people that he is a dangerous man. Depite Valjean’s freedom there is still something missing that he doesn’t seem to find out what could it possibly be. He tried to apply for jobs but was rejected for carrying the badge. He becomes hopeless and even stole a silverware from Myriel—a presiding bishop. Myriel gave refuge to Valjean and covered for his misdeeds. Valjean then hides beneath the name of Madeleine. He then manages and owns a manufacturing company in the town of Montreuil-sur-mer. This made him wealthy enough to try to bring up the town’s prosperity. Fantine fell in love, got pregnant and the man she fell for eventually abandons her and their child. She then traveled to the town of Montfermil with her child, Cosette.

...Cité Industrielle, urban plan designed by Tony Garnier and published in 1917 under the title of Une Cité Industrielle. It represents the culmination of several philosophies of urbanism that were the outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution in 19th-century Europe. The Cité Industrielle was to be situated on a plateau in southeastern France, with hills and a lake to the north and a river and valley to the south. The plan takes into consideration all the aspects necessary to running a Socialist city. It provides separate zones for separate functions, a concept later found in such new towns (see new town) as Park Forest, Ill., and Reston, Va. These zones—residential, industrial, public, and agricultural—are linked by location and circulation patterns, both vehicular and pedestrian. The public zone, set on the plateau much in the manner of the Hellenistic acropolis, is composed of the governmental buildings, museums, and exhibition halls and large structures for sports and theatre. Residential areas are located to take best advantage of the sun and wind, and the industrial district is accessible to natural power sources and transportation. The “old town” is near the railroad station to accommodate sightseers and tourists. A health centre and a park are located on the heights north of the city, and the cemetery to the southwest. The surrounding area is devoted to agriculture. The plan itself is clearly in the Beaux-Arts tradition, tempered by a natural informality possibly derived...

...Louiemar C. Francisco BSA 2-3 “Look down, and show, some mercy if you can. Look down, look down, upon your fellow man” – lei miserables I remember this line at the start of the movie and this make me say “wow” without thinking. My favorite movies are those that there are slaves and they will rise and revenge to their masters, something like that. And with that song, I got a clue that lei miserables would be one of my favorites. Honestly I have not read the story of lei miserables that’s why I don’t know if I could I understand the movie. Luckily, my brother watched with me and he narrates me the story while I am watching it so I am able to understand the story. The actors and actresses were able to portray their roles in a creative manner. Acting while singing or vice versa is I think one of the hardest part of being an artist that’s why I praised these characters. They do have many talents aside from acting. I thought those characters all came from a choir. The director was able to describe the setting during the French revolution (18 century), the houses, the firearms, their dresses, their houses, the architectures, the atmosphere, etc, making the movie realistic. The movie is a story love. Love for the country, when a revolution broke out because of the political rule of monarchy (history). I was amazed that all of them even the women and child were united under a single principle that the political rule of France must be given to the people and not to a single...
