...The Art of Seeing Essay Nick Cave Soundsuit Mixed Media Page 184 Soundsuit, created by Nick Cave in 2009 resembles a cloud of ceramic birds that surrounds a body suit of crocheted yarn pieces. The structure that resides on the crocheted body suit resembles the flight pattern of the birds, some delicate lines with beads and others strong, steel like structure protruding upwards, almost looking like tree branches or roots of a tree if looked at upside down. The body suit has various colors although keeping a palate of reds, oranges, pinks, black and white. The patterns resemble flowers of various types and sizes breaking the monotony of matching patterns. The various materials used in Soundsuit work together to create an egg-shaped sphere around the crocheted body suit giving the viewer a feel of surrounding; noise of movement. The strong predominant vertical metal branches that hold the ceramic birds symbolize branches, especially since the artist selected ceramic birds that are perched. Not one bird is alike, some with extended wings and others seeming to take flight; the sound of flapping wings is almost audible. The crocheted body suit has a feeling of randomness, different flowers and symbols in different places in non-geometrical lines. The suite covers all body parts except the head and hands as if the suit would give a person a different identity. It almost feels as if this body suit is closely related to nature. Soundsuit is uniform in the sense that it contains...

...Isabelle Foster Georgia Southern University Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art PO Box 8032, Statesboro, GA 30460 Georgia Artists Collection gallery Troy Wingard, Jamie, Chalk pastel on paper The Georgia Artists Collection gallery in the Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art is a perfect place to see all the diversity of expression within artists from Georgia. These artists used many different mediums for the art displayed in this exhibit. The art pieces range from watercolor, to ceramic sculptures, wood sculptures, engravings done by hand, oil, chalk, pen and ink, pastel on paper, mixed media, and so on. Students here at Georgia Southern University have the opportunity to come to this gallery and see various unique artworks that relate to the state of Georgia, it’s history, nature, and even our school. Erk, by Steve Penley, an oil on canvas piece is an excellent example of this. The portrait brings our most famous football coach Erk Russell, to life as well as all the school pride within the Eagle Nation. One piece of art in particular that caught my attention was Troy Wingard’s, Jamie, which was created in 1998. This piece of art is a very large scale, representational, pastel on paper portrait. The artwork is of a woman with short hair wearing what looks like a white nightgown, laying down in bed as she looks off into the distance. She seems to be deep in thought, strong, serious, and maybe even somber. The picture brings a sense of balance to the woman’s face through...

...Art is a diverse range of human activities and the products of those activities; this article focuses primarily on the visual arts, which includes the creation of images or objects in fields including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and other visual media. Humanities are academic disciplines that study human culture, using methods that are primarily analytical, critical, or speculative, and having a significant historical element, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural sciences. The humanities include ancient and modern languages, literature, philosophy, religion, and visual and performing arts such as music and theatre. The humanities that are also sometimes regarded as social sciences include history, anthropology, area studies, communication studies, cultural studies, law and linguistics. Art Appreciation is having the knowledge, background, and understanding of the universal and timeless qualities that comprise. It is an emotional enjoyment of the extensive study of the humanities. Scope of Art 1. Fine arts from the 17th century on, has meant art forms developed primarily for aesthetics, distinguishing them from applied arts that also have to serve some practical function. (e.g. paintings, drawing, visual designs, photography and computer arts) 2. Practical art is an arts or craft, as woodworking or needlework that serves a utilitarian purpose.

...Alexandra Powell Evaluating Art Art 280.004 Instructor: Fuller Depicting the Hunting Man On October 3rd, 2014, I visited the Ed and Gwen Cole Art Center in downtown Nacogdoches, TX. I viewed on display the Stephen F. Austin State University’s School of Art Annual Faculty Exhibition. This year’s exhibition features a wide array of work in painting, ceramics, metals, mixed media, digital and sculptures. The painting I chose to write about is titled “Duke and Stoney,” under the artists name Shaun Roberts. The painting is an oil on canvas and was completed in 2014. It stands 6 feet tall and 4 feet long. When I first looked at the painting “Duke and Stoney,” I noticed that there were three subjects in the painting, a man, a dog, and an armadillo lying dead on the ground. I saw that the man was holding a rife in his right hand and that his shirt was unbuttoned, allowing you to see that he has a tattoo on his chest as well as above his rectangular belt buckle. The tattoo on his chest is of a skull with two pistols pointing upwards and the one above his belt states the word “HELL.” The man is wearing baggy jeans that have a hole on the right knee and he has a knife in a pouch hanging off his belt. The man is wearing a cowboy hat and a smile. In the background there are many shadows and one of them forms the silhouette of a face. Roberts, the artist, uses soft line to add the shadows in the background of the painting making them blend in as if they aren’t even there...

...High Volume Hydraulic Fracturing: Tight Oil Kevin Conibear 10060801 Geology 377: Petroleum Engineering Dr. Rob Taerum April 11, 2014 Introduction Tight oil has reversed a decline in Western Canadian and U.S oil production. In tandem with advancements in horizontal drilling, high volume hydraulic fracturing has enabled companies to tap into billions of barrels of tight oil that were previously thought to be inaccessible. Tight oil, trapped in microscopic pores within impermeable layers of shale, is an unconventional oil reservoir. Unconventional reservoirs cannot be extracted through a traditional ‘well and pump’ procedure. Conversely, conventional oil reservoirs can be extracted through this traditional process. Conventional reservoirs are layers of rock that allow oil to flow relatively easily through a series of pores in the rock, thus are high in porosity and permeability. However, there are a diminishing number of conventional reservoirs, leading to the increased demand for the production unconventional oil – tight oil. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique that creates cracks within shale formations, allowing tight oil to flow freely for efficient and profitable extraction. This process has only recently been utilized to its great potential, and has proven to have profound economic implications. What is shale? Shale is fine-grained sedimentary rock that is often rich in in petroleum and natural gas. Sedimentary rocks are formed through an accumulation of sediment...

...2007:224 CIV M ASTER’S TH E SI S Study of the reactions between iron ore slag and refractories Julien Zimmermann MSc PrograMMeS in engineering Materials Technology (eeigM) Luleå University of Technology Department of Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering Division of Material Mechanics 2007:224 CIV • ISSN: 1402 - 1617 • ISRN: LTU - EX - - 07/224 - - SE Summary: For the fabrication of iron ore pellets at LKAB (Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara AB), one of the methods used is to sinter the pellets in a rotary kiln. This Kiln has a drift temperature of 1250°C in average. During this process a coating, causing the wear of the refractories materials, is formed, inducing expensive maintenance periods. The aim of this work is to find the reaction that takes place between the Slag and the bricks, in order to find the parameters that have to be changed to improve the bricks lifetime in the kiln. The use of bricks with higher alumina content is one of the solutions, but it is expensive. The influence of Alkalis and especially Na2O has been studied before in inert atmosphere. In this work it will be studied in air as well as the influence of the alumina content of the brick. Experiments were performed in air atmosphere, using powder samples that have been compressed into pellets. The devices used to characterize the reaction and the product of the reaction were: Kanthal furnace, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dilatometer, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry (DSC/TG)...

...A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode, which emits light when activated.[4]When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor. An LED is often small in area (less than 1 mm2) and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation pattern.[5] Appearing as practical electronic components in 1962,[6] the earliest LEDs emitted low-intensity infrared light. Infrared LEDs are still frequently used as transmitting elements in remote-control circuits, such as those in remote controls for a wide variety of consumer electronics. The first visible-light LEDs were also of low intensity, and limited to red. Modern LEDs are available across the visible,ultraviolet, and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. Early LEDs were often used as indicator lamps for electronic devices, replacing small incandescent bulbs. They were soon packaged into numeric readouts in the form of seven-segment displays, and were commonly seen in digital clocks. Recent developments in LEDs permit them to be used in environmental and task lighting. LEDs have many advantages over incandescent light sources including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime...
