...Geological Changes were found to make small physical changes to the exterior of the rock. Glacial Changes were found to affect the ground through the the sand the “glacier” moved around. Chemical Weathering was found to quickly dissolve the marble but not the granite. Oxidation was found to dissolve the pyrite very quickly and continue to dissolve it over the next 2-3 days. Organic Processes were found to have a major physical effect on the paste as it broke it apart.

...For several decades, the Ancient Greek and Roman culture and history have been whitewashed throughout media. Between movies and cartoons, the Greco-Roman society had been assumed to be a white majority. Marble statues portraying people from the time period are observed to be pearly, perfect and pristine. Through their marble-like perfection, white supremacists in today’s society have taken the symbol of the marble bust and turned it into a symbol of hate. Supremacists take the idea of the “perfect specimen” and use these marble statues as a poster child for their ideals. Contrary to their popular belief, these statues had originally been painted hundreds of years ago. Art historians and scientists are able to use x-ray to see the layers of paint that have either been worn or scrubbed away over time to see the colors and patterns that once adorned them. Included with this idea of race, Greco-Romans did not have a name for race. In fact, if they had heard society’s portrayal of race today, they would have found it foolish. While people have interpreted these marble statues as a symbol of “white supremacy”, they, in fact, do the complete opposite. Misinformed views can be harmful to the minds of others and can warp historical ideas into something completely...

...CORNERSTONE OVERVIEW PRIOR KNOWLEDGE (Before the Unit) Students will need content knowledge about how to classify and describe rocks, how rocks are used by people, and the rock cycle and how rocks are formed. They will need to research this information for their chosen rock of study and apply it to their short poem and timeline included in their pamphlet. If students are choosing to create a pamphlet about marble, for instance, they will need to understand that this rock is classified as a metamorphic rock and is often used for sculptures and countertops. Students will also need to describe the rock cycle in order to successfully create a timeline that demonstrates how marble is formed. Students will also need to practice fluency and creative expression skills. Specifically, students need to be able to read accurately, at an appropriate pace, and with meaningful expression. Teachers will want to use the exemplars provided in this cornerstone to support students in applying previous knowledge and skills to this project. PLACEMENT WITHIN THE UNIT Before:...

...un-documented shifts in believed each artist incorporates into their depiction of David and the heroic battle against Goliath. Michelangelo's David was completed in 1504, Florence. It is a seventeen feet marble statue depicting the Biblical hero David, represented as a standing male nude. Originally commissioned by the Opera del Duomo for the Cathedral of Florence, it was meant to be one of a series of large statues to be positioned in the niches of the cathedral’s tribunes. Michelangelo was asked by the consuls of the Board to complete an unfinished project begun in 1464. Most sculptors had in the rejected an enormous block of marble due to the presence of too many imperfections, which may have threatened the stability of such a huge statue. This block of marble of big dimensions remained therefore neglected for twenty-five years, lying within the courtyard of the Opera del Duomo. Michelangelo accepted the challenge with enthusiasm to sculpt a large scale David and worked constantly for over two years to create one of his most breathtaking masterpieces of white marble. On the other hand, Donatello also sculpted a David. Three different David were sculpted by Donatello early in his career but this sculpture was a departure from his earlier two. The others were both done in marble showing a young clothed boy. In fact, Donatello's bronze David was a departure from any contemporary figurative sculpture, being the first life-size nude created since ancient times. This was done when Donatello was...

...Greek and Roman Art: Compare and Contrast Sylvia Williams HUMA/205 March 31, 2012 William Figueroa/instructor Greek and Roman Art: Compare and Contrast The Doryphoros also known as the Spear Bearer was created by Greek sculptor Polykleitos. He created this statue depicting an athlete or the ideal man of equal proportions, combining observations with mathematical calculations (Frank, 2002-2011). The materials used were marble and the process or technique used to create such a masterpiece was to show the human at its finest, at rest (Frank, 2002-2011). The colors used vary; from the beginning it was marble and also bronze as well as terra cotta was used (Lapatin). The subject matter is the human form and I think it can be representational and abstract art. Representational because it does represent the human form and it is a form we can recognize from the everyday world and abstract because although it is of the human form, no subject was used, it was a vision; therefore meaning it was the essence or an object or idea (Frank, 2002-2011). She-Wolf is the topic chosen for the Roman Art. She-wolf is a bronze sculptor of two infants suckled by a she-wolf. The infants, found by a shepherd were raised by him and his wife; whom named the twins Romulus and Remus (Joe, 2008). It was said to be constructed around 500 BCE, with the twins added in the late 15th century (Sullivan, 2006). The materials used were bronze. Just like the Doryphoros, the material used was bronze and it would...

...“Inclusion is a philosophy that brings diverse students, families, educators, and community members together to create schools and other social institutions based on acceptance, belonging and community.” (Salend 6) “Inclusion recognizes that all students are learners who benefit from a meaningful, challenging, and appropriate curriculum, and differentiated instruction techniques that address their unique strengths and needs.” (Salend 6) “Inclusion programs provide all students with access to a challenging, engaging and flexible curriculum that helps them to be successful in society.” (Salend 6) Inclusion not only benefits those children who are disabled but also the children without disabilities because it is an opportunity for them to learn about disabilities and learn to accept the differences that everyone has. While inclusion may not be for every child out there, the benefits greatly outweigh the negatives, thus why an inclusive classroom has been more and more pushed as the way to go for education of younger children. (Browne 117-118) “Children with disabilities need the same things in their environment as other children. They need an environment that is safe, secure, and predictable and one that provides a balance of the familiar and novel, so that there are materials and activities that provide for their development.” (Browne 342) There is no one law that forces classrooms to be inclusive, but when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in...

...Seeing without sight, An examination of Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii Nydia, the Blind Girl of Pompeii, is a marble sculpture created by Randolph Rogers. It is in near perfect condition as of today. The title of the sculpture is quite straightforward; one instantly recognizes that the girl is blind. However, anyone looking upon the sculpture can identify the girl’s blindness, not only because of the sculptor’s title but from the aesthetics of the sculpture itself. It could be said that the title is not needed because we can tell by her posture that she is fully relying on her sense of sound. While one examines Nydia's posture, lines, angles, shadows, motion, and volume, Nydia comes to life with emotion. At first glance, we see a young girl, perhaps in her twenties, with her eyes closed and her body slightly tilted to the left in a stride. Her arms are both bent at the elbows, one is held to her head and the other to her waist. This is showing right away that she is in motion, by looking at the positioning of her arms and body. The palm of her left hand is rounded up to her face, around her ear, as if she is carefully listening for something specific. Her right hand holds a walking stick. At the base of the walking stick is a basket, located by her feet, which looks as if it could have once held flowers. It is not plain, it exhibits a symmetric pattern of flowers. She is standing on a simple circular base with no design on it. Nydia’s hair is held in an up do, with some...

...The Shape of the Earth The shape of planet Earth has fascinated scientists, philosophers and cultures throughout history. For thousands of years man has observed and studied the Earth. Through observations, spiritual beliefs and empirical findings, many theories developed regarding the shape of the Earth. How has our understanding of the shape of the Earth changed over time? • Most ancient cultures, such as the Sumerians, Babylonians, even Greece , until the 5th or 6th century B.C., believed that the Earth was flat. (Garwood, 2007, p. 16) • The Egyptians believed the universe was rectangular-shaped with four pillars that supported a flat ceiling. Egypt was in the center of a flat Earth which was surrounded by water. (Moore, 1968, p. 16) • Greek philosopher Pythagoras, populated the idea that the Earth must be a sphere back in the 6th century B.C. • Around 330 B.C. Aristotle accepted the spherical shape of the Earth, observing that the Earth casts a round shadow on the moon. • Sir Isaac Newton observed the shape of the Earth to be oblate spheroidal or oval shaped, not prolate spheroidal or spherical. (According to Choi, 2007) • Giovanni Cassini, who discovered four moons of Saturn and estimated the distance between the Earth and Sun to be 87 million miles, maintained that the Earth was flat at the equator. His theory stirred controversy, contradicting Newton’s and others who maintained that the Earth was flattened at the poles. (Burns, 2001, p. 55) What...

...man, was used as tributes to the male form. They were sculpted standing in a frontal pose with their left leg moved forward, their arms close to their bodies touching the side of their thighs. The high regard and admiration of the male form were perfectly portrayed in these sculptures. The Kore on the other hand were more basic and sculpted as clothed. The Kore was the clothed female version of the Korous. The statues were carved standing erect with their feet together. Sometimes, one foot was made to jut out slightly. Their arms were portrayed as being down at the sides. In most instances, one arm was sculpted across the front of the body as well as outreached with an offering of some kind. Both the Korous and Kore were made of marble. The next period in Greek history is the Classical period. This period lasted from the fourth to fifth centuries...

...Melanie Hohn July 5, 2011 Assignment #6 The period that I found to be most appealing to me was the Classical and Medieval West period. I have always been drawn to this era and its history whether it is in literature, art, or movies. What is interesting about this period to me is that such great attention to detail is displayed in many of the pieces of art in this era. The type of art created just seems far more different to me than art in any other era. From the introduction of new colors and architectural evolution, this type of art seems to introduce a whole new world and tells us a lot about the history of that era. The Classical and Medieval West period emerged in the 5th century B.C.E to the Rome’s fall in the 5th century C.E. This period’s history includes the rise of Christianity where a majority of the art from both Eastern and Western Europe prevailed as well as the Roman rule of Europe. Greek artists in this era were particularly interested in the human body, in its most ideal, perfect form. They strived on perfecting this creation which they regarded as the highest creation of nature. Painters during this time were better known for their art work than Greek sculptors, which I found interesting because the Greek sculptures I have found to be one of the most beautiful displays of art about this era; however, in hindsight, it seems the sculptures prevailed because many of the wall paintings of this era did not survive. One of the more well-known pottery...

The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | I’ve lived in Connecticut my whole life and until now I was unaware of its geological history. Admiring the landscape of the state has always been one of my great pleasures. When I traveled around the country I would compare the natural wonders of each state to my own. Besides the rocky mountains in Colorado and the white mountains of New Hampshire few places match Connecticut’s regal terrain. Growing up in Bristol I would hike up to Pinnacle Mountain in Plainville, my friends and I would stand in awe of the magnificent rock structures. In the summer I would go on vacation to Old Lyme, it was there I fell in love with the earth’s most beautiful contrasts, the ocean meeting the rock and vice a versa. But until now I never educated myself on how all this magnificence came about. In this paper I will chronologically describe the eras and events that formed Connecticut’s geologic history. The oldest rocks provide a window through time telling a story of continental collisions so powerful that they raised mountains thousands of feet high. Others reveal evidence of a slow but constant attack from the elements that wore down those same majestic...
