If this is the case the individual cannot be denied benefits if they were to leave work on their...

...In Rhode Island roadside makeshift memorials are common. The memorials are usually located either on a roadside to memorialize a fatal car accident or in some neighborhoods, to memorialize victims of violent crimes occurring on our public streets. This is a hotly debated topic with some states in the US following the trend against such memorials; citing reasons such as using public property for private use, separation of church and state (due to the use of crosses) and others see the memorials as a distraction. We all memorialize death in our own way, In Rhode Island, roadside memorials are what we do to mourn those that pass suddenly and violently in a public place. We proved our acceptance of roadside memorials when the Station Night Club Fire happened on February 20, 2003 (Parker, The Station Fire: Timeline of a tragedy), I lost my friend that night; but in total 100 lives were lost. It took all Rhode Island it seemed; but on that sacred spot now stands a proper memorial in the form of a park. It took 14 years to come to fruition and in May of this year, it was dedicated. Prior to this, for all 14 of those years all 100 families had a makeshift memorial on that piece of land. Although there were some that objected to the memorials, most objected to the length of time it took to see the memorial site completed. there is an excerpt the foundation posted on their site that said it best: The following has been adapted from the book “The Circus Fire” by Stewart O’Nan.

...There are multiple options to commemorate a particular person or even an important event. One option is to create a monument. Monuments can show great achievements as well as important sacrifices. A group or agency should consider factors like the location, size, materials, and the importance of a monument when creating it. Location is an essential aspect in the creation of a monument. It should be located in a place that can be easily seen to the public and in a place that is pleasing to the eye. Source B shows a picture of Christopher Columbus's monument in Riverside Park, Easton, Pennsylvania. As people walk by this beautiful place, they shall be able to recall how important he was to American history. The location should also be somewhat relevant to the monument. A Holocaust museum was planned to be built in the Mall in Washington D.C. (Source E). Many people protested and stated that the Holocaust should not be built in the US since it did nothing to stop the Holocaust from happening (Source E). When a group or agency is in charge of building a monument, location is important in order to correctly commemorate something. Size and material is another factor in building a monument. The size of the monument should commemorate the event or the work of the historical figure. The size of the monument must ensure that the event or the person gets the right amount of recognition. The Commission of Fine Arts stated that the designs for the Holocaust Museum was too “massive” and that...

...Female figures made of clay in BC are usually known as showing fertility, and I found one of them which gave me mysterious feelings. I visited the Art Institute of Chicago for my museum assignment, and I could see a variety of intriguing artworks. Among them, I especially found something of interests about a sculpture, Female Figurine. The artist is unknown. The medium of this work is whitish and a little dark limestone, and it is monochromatic. The volume of the figure looked light. I believe that it is approximately 3x6 inches. The texture of it is rough. The technique of low relief is used, but I saw a little deeper indent, compared to other parts beside of a right arm of this figure. Also, her lower body protrudes a little, compared to...

...There are a lot of memorials, monuments and markers across the United States. Their very existence serves the purpose of honoring the memory of an event, a person or a span of history. The significance of the landscape can be expressed in admonishing or admiring terms. In either case, these landmarks manage to garner both the local and the world’s attention. Such important monuments and memorials abound in the U.S. As 9/11 Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Liberty Memorial, Mount Rushmore, Korean War Veterans Memorial, and Washington Monument, among a myriad of others. This paper attempts to make a rhetorical analysis of one of the most important monuments in America, Washington Monument, in order to find out the relevance of this great monument conveys to its audience and how it argues itself to be important through effective use of pathos, ethos and logos. The construction of Washington Monument works to commemorate the father of of this country. So the monument has be to built with unique characteristics and defining features. Such an elaborate design specifically appeals to logos. Located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., Washington George Washington.

...Memorials are variant by nature. They can be as complex as a whole museum based off a historical event, or they can be as simple as writing a tune that’s dedicated to a close friend. They can be completely personal - or they can be simply for remembrance. Monuments, however, are a bit more formal. A monument, by definition, is a structural figure whether it being a building, statue, or any other construction, that was built solely for the purpose to pay tribute to an acclaimed or significant person/event. When the location, size, material, and purpose for the monument is all carefully thought out, the monument becomes greatly successful in honoring what or who it was built for, thus achieving it’s purpose for existence. Therefore, these factors must be considered by the group or agency when constructing a monument....

...first is Nude Woman, or Venus of Willendorf, from the prehistoric period. The small limestone sculpture was found in modern day Austria and dates to circa 25,000 b.c.e. The second image is Khafre, a life-size Egyptian sculpture made of diorite stone from much later, circa 2,500 b.c.e. Both sculptures contain magical or supernatural symbolism, as well as concepts of life and death. The Venus is probably a votive figure, or offering to the gods. She is abundant, perhaps pregnant, probably to symbolize fertility and to bring good fortune in the fields and in human reproduction. Little is known about the sculpture, but life at this time must have been a struggle for survival and she represents the core of the cycle of life. Khafre is a "Ka" statue, meant to be buried with the mummified body of the king of which he is a portrait. It is to serve as a back-up to the mummy to offer a place for the Ka, or soul, to reside at night. The portrait also helps the Ka recognize its residence and body. Most Egyptian art focused on permanence and the afterlife such as this one. Whereas Venus is probably an offering to the gods and a symbol of life to an entire culture, Khafre is meant to retain the individual man's soul and help him travel to and from the...

...Museum Art Work Paper While strolling through Bowers Museum I came across a sculpture that caught my attention right away, a wooden statue of changing shapes and impressive carving technique. The sculpture of Guanyin, Goddess of Mercy, was carved during the Late Ming Dynasty (1600-1644). The Bowers Museum has no record of the unknown artist and states the piece as an anonymous gift. “Guanyin originally was a male in India named Avalokiteshvara, but when introduced to China it became the Goddess of Mercy due to powerful cults of female deities early on.” The Goddess of Mercy sits upon a white lotus flower giving the sense of purity. Her facial expression shows deep meditation and peace at mind. The wooden carving is elegant and meaningful....

...Statuary art had come a long ways from the stiff, frontal statues of ancient Egypt, and with the onset of Classical Greece came the arrival of idealized and perfectly-proportionate bodies. However, this idealism would soon turn into realism as the late Classical and Hellenistic Period emerged: an era filled with strife, instability, and disillusionment. The changes that occurred in these cultures would soon manifest themselves in the art of that time, most notably statuary art. Two sculptures, the Classical Doryphoros by Polykleitos and the Old Market Woman from the Hellenistic period, effectively illustrate this stylistic development. The Doryphoros, a statue of a spear bearer, embodies the mindset of the Classical period: a striving toward the ideal, ultimate body portrayal. Its perfectly-proportioned, muscular body, carefully balanced contrapposto, and harmonic "motion at rest" quality serve to portray the perfect male statue. The athlete's serene, slightly-smiling gaze and calm expression further emphasize the aim toward perfection and order in that intellectual culture. This form of portrayal would soon change, however, with the onset of the Peloponnesian War, and later, the beginning of Roman conquest. The political upheaval and tumultuous chaos would have a profound impact on the pysche of the Greeks. Previously focused on the ideal world of perfect beings and bulidings, the strife and disillusionment caused by the cultural upheaval would bring an end to the serene...

...possibly produce. It's an uncontrollable feeling that leads even the worthiest and most powerful men to emptiness and hopelessness. In the 14-line poem, "Ozymandias" by PB Shelley, Shelley chooses the greatest setting for utter despair in using a desert. Power and despair are greatly correlated in this poem as well as many others. Under the immediate assumption that Ozymandias is the sculptor of the barren statues, one must realize that even kings cannot contain their passions and emotions. Ozymandias erected a statue of his destress where none could see it and without habitation for miles. Leaving these statues behind, the sculptor is given a chance to reveal to others the underlying sadness of his soul. "[Passions read] Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them". Though the sculptor has left the mortal world, his soul remains for all passers-by to see. He/She is attempting to force others into his/her realm of pain just by seeing his/her creation. This poem causes havoc upon the mind of the reader as they think of utter desolation. The statue is described as a "colossal wreck boundless and bare" drawing a parallel for the reason in which it was built. The condition of the stones, delicately but descriptively worded by Shelley, only emphasizes the despair drawn into the stone by the sculptor's hand. By using words such as "frown", "sneer", and "mocked", the author provides us with a slight portrait of the sculptor. It gives us a picture of a...

...reminder of their mate back at home but also as a charm to bring them success in their hunting. Archaeologists suggest that the facelessness of the figure gives it a mysterious feel and believe that it may have been of more important as an object rather than as a person. Also suggested, the fact that the figure’s hair is braided in seven symbolic circles, seven in later times being regarded as a magic number used to bring about good luck. A third possible significance put forth by archaeologists is that of the figure serving as a mother goddess (earth mother or female deity). They believe that this comes from a suggestion that the statue was a woman whose specialness was indicated in her obesity since women in a hunter gatherer society would probably not have had the opportunity to get as obese. According to David Koeller, “the people who made this statue lived in a harsh ice-age environment where features of fatness and fertility would have been highly...

...The reason why it is important to be able to fund the monument or statue is because if they did not have the money for the monument they may not be able to keep the statue. The main reason why having funding should be a consideration of the builders is because it will help them build the monument that they want. Some evidence that shows this is an article entitled Cemetery Faces and Uncertain Future , “Unless something happens and we get the money from somewhere, I don't know how we're going to make it said Rosie Gutierrez, treasurer for the El Monte Cemetery Association, which owns the 4-acre graveyard at 9263 Valley Blvd. The association has enough money to keep the place open at least two years, said Bob Bruesch, vice president of the association and a Garvey School District board member.” Source D (Kosareff) Being able fund the monument is important because...

...visually depict Shiva and his attributes as a god. The Sea Lion Bowl, in contrast, was created by an unknown Kwakiutl carver from Vancouver Island somewhere in the timespan from 1850 to 1875. At the time, the Kwakiutl were economically and culturally impacted by the establishment of Fort Rupert by the Hudson’s Bay Company. The Kwakiutl had to participate in the cash economy and cope with government suppression of their culture. Regardless, attempts were made to preserve their language and culture, including reviving the arts and safeguarding what pieces were left (Encyclopedia.com). Shiva was cast during the Chola dynasty, a period in India where bronze casting, the economy, and shrine building were all at a high point (Shiva Nataraja). Bronze statues of Hindu deities, therefore, were popular in India at the time, and artists had the resources to make them solely as art objects. The Kwakiutl had only the land and animals around them to help them survive, so most of the art they created was an expression of their culture through craft (Redish and Lewis). Many of their objects, including this bowl, were carved from wood. The Sea Lion Feast Bowl had the practical use of holding food for festivals, while also conveying their respect for the fierce sea lion. This respect also had the craft and culture duality: the Kwakiutl hunted sea lions for their meat and pelts, but also revered it as an animal ancestor (Sea Lion Feast Bowl). Though the two cultures are from vastly different time periods...
