...acceptance in recent but still has an unconventional niche – mostly due to the fact that it is illegal. This art form can take on many purposes usually that of personal expression, social cause, or visual delight. One of the most notable artists of this genre is a man who goes simply by the name of Banksy. In this piece of his, he combines his passion of street fighting with his pacifist ardor in the depiction of a protester whose Molotov cocktail transforms into a bouquet of flowers. It is a two dimensional piece done with mainly spray paint and stencil created by the artist using a material such as cardboard. The artist draws the image on to the card board and using an exacto knife he carves out the image. He then locates a good spot on a wall or building and proceeds to set the stencil in place and go over the needed areas with spray-paint. In this image is monochromatic the only color that is used is black; using implied motion, the artist finds a way to give a lifelike feeling. This is an example of figurative art that uses emphasis to draw attention to the bouquet of flowers. The flowers contrast the assumed intention of the protester. The message and symbolism I feel the artist was trying to send was that of nonviolence and love.

...9 August 2010 A Season of Changes In “To Autumn” by John Keats, the narrator uses visual imagery and personification to emphasize autumn’s progression towards winter. By using visual imagery, the narrator captures the season of autumn not only as a time of maturity, abundance, and warmth, but also as a time of death and dying, the cold desolation that becomes winter. The narrator personifies autumn as a woman, allowing the grace and beauty of the season to emanate from the words on the page. Autumn is a season that delights the senses with all of its colorful grandeur, yet autumn is also a season of gray, melancholy days that beg for quiet reflection as winter’s decay invades its existence. Autumn’s passing is gracefully mourned with the knowledge she will return to delight us again the following year. The first stanza uses visual imagery to appeal to the senses of sight and taste. The “seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness” (1) captures the atmosphere of autumn in England. Autumn is a time for the cool fog that often permeates the morning dew as the sun rises. The richly colored leaves of yellow, orange, and red and the cornucopia of the harvest symbolize the maturation of autumn. An abundance of apples on “mossed cottage-trees” (5), “fruit with ripeness to the core” (6), and “plump...hazel shells” (7) tempt the taste buds with an array of succulence that cannot compare to any other season. Autumn is a time to savor the colors, the crisp morning air, and...

...finger. After discovering the traditional Chinese way of cutting paper several years go, he creates grand 3D realms and environments with an X-Acto knife. Welcome to Haven of Delight, Pien’s hauntingly beautiful exhibit on display at The Rooms Provincial Gallery. “I cut vertically,” says Pien. “Even though I have an image to work with while cutting, I am still doing a lot of improvisation in order to feel that there is a continued sense of exploration and negotiation with making the paper-cut.” Haven of Delight exhibit features an out of this world installation; it’s an all encompassing paper maze of celestial celebration. Haven of Delight is a universe in itself. Viewers are welcomed into the tranquility of the grand-scale sanctuary where imagination, myth and spirits come to life. Pien’s ethereal paper cut-outs begin as a photograph, images of trees and human figures. He combines the two digital photographs and manipulates it until the visual aligns with his mind’s eye. “I am interested in exploring realms where language is inadequate to explain away mysteries and wonders,” he says. On the night of Haven of Delight‘s opening Pien wandered around with a small keychain flashlight, asking patrons to hold it up at eyelevel. The small light showcased an entirely different interpretation, Haven of Delight became lucid, a dream within a dream. Pien is fascinated with the unconscious, a realm when reality gives way and our minds are free to roam wild and our hearts purest. “My...

...But that would be cruel kindness, and I dare not to do it.” ~ p. 55 The author uses an oxymoron to show how William’s murder affects Elizabeth, Victor, and Victor’s father. “…distinctly the black sides of Jura, and the bright summit of Mont Blanc. My own beautiful lake! How do you welcome your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lake are blue and placid.” ~ p. 58 The author uses visual imagery to give the reader an idea and image of what Victor Frankenstein’s home land looks like. “…and I think of them with pleasure. My country, my beloved country! Who but a native can tell the delight I took in…” ~ p. 58 The author uses an epistrophe sentence structure to show how proud Victor Frankenstein is of his country. "Sometimes I could cope with the sullen despair that overwhelmed me: but sometimes the whirlwind passions of my soul drove me to seek, by bodily exercise and by change of place, some relief from my intolerable sensations." ~ p. 75 The author uses an element of Romanticism, isolation, to show how Victor Frankenstein is...

...Similar to a looking glass, Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights shows an alternate way of life. Considering the fact that the painting was not intended for religious purposes, this was a type of painting to be displayed in a home domestically. The painting is a triptych, because there are three panels. The left panel shows the Garden of Eden, the right panel shows Hell, and the central panel shows an image of Earth. Bosch’s Garden of Earthly delights shows the Renaissance’s three recurring themes of individualism, naturalism, and humanism. First, the triptych shows individualism by displaying detailed pictures where each person has their own set of physical features. The people also display their own selfish act of sin. Although each person shows an act of sin, this painting is described as a world without sin. Another important detail of individualism that is represented in the triptych, is Adam and Eve are similar in height to God as opposed to the rest of the people, which shows how important Adam and Eve are to the human race....

...encapsulates the imaginative expression and heightened emotion that was a key feature of Romantic thinking. Both The Lamb and The Tyger are found in Blake’s iconic anthology Songs of Innocence and Experience, in which he examines opposing perspectives of the world. The purity and unlimited potential of childhood is highlighted through the simple pastoral imagery of the Lamb. The Lamb’s child-like qualities are expressed in the repetition in the quotation: ‘Gave thee clothing of delight,/ Softest clothing, woolly, bright’, which is further reinforced in the simplicity of the rhyming couplet. Moreover, the tactile and visual descriptions reflect a child’s simple exploration of the world around them through tangible imagery. Through this technique, Blake expresses the Romantic attitude to wonder about the natural world. This is contrast with the scenes of the Tyger’s might and fierceness that represents the limitation and corruption that are introduced with the loss of childhood innocence. Blake’s use of visual imagery that refers to parts of the Tyger’s anatomy expresses his awe at the animal’s power and the intricacy of God’s handiwork. This is portrayed in...

... glitz and glamour, and indeed they did not disappoint. With flashy everything-‐sequinned costumes and extravagant sets W!ld Rice certainly spared no expense in producing this humorous, heartwarming play. And in typical W!ld Rice fashion, this 11 Tony-‐ awards-‐nominated musical was adapted for the Singaporean stage, primarily with the show being relocated from St Tropez to Tanjong Pagar and not to forget the numerous local references (think MRT woes, Kopitiam delights and subtle political jibes) thrown in to connect with audiences. La Cage integrated the local aspect seamlessly and the very current references made the show all the more accessible without losing the essence of the script. La Cage tells the story of Albin (Ivan Heng) and George (Tony Eusoff), a gay couple who own a club where Albin transforms into drag queen ZaZa every night. When their “son” Jonathan (Aaron Khaled) announces his ...

...Compiling works of digital art that showcase the body in many forms was the premise for this exhibition. Narratives of a Body would be an exhibition of these collected works. The goal of this show would be to highlight works that fall into categories of displaying the body and interacting with the body of the viewer. On the side of direct contact with the audience I have selected Ryoji Ikeda’s Matrix for an Anechoic Chamber, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Pulse Park, A modified display of Jill Magid’s Evidence Locker, A recreation performance of Yoko Ono’s cut piece, and Jenny Odell’s garbage selfies.

...Lisa M. Fields 29 August 2013 Ed Nickles Marketing Strategy and Management Audi 8 Audi The company established by August Horch in Zwickau on July 16, 1909 could not again take its founder's name for reasons of fair trade. Horch found a new name for the company by translating his name, which means "hark!", "listen!", into Latin. So it was that the second company to have been set up by August Horch commenced operations under the name Audi Automobile werke GmbH, Zwickau, on April 25, 1910. The Audi emblem of the four rings denotes one of Germany's oldest automobile manufacturers. It symbolizes the merger in 1932 of four previously independent motor vehicle manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. These companies are the foundation stones on which the present-day AUDI AG is built. The Audi 8 is a vehicle whose dynamic potential and trendsetting technology pave the way for an automotive experience that sets a new benchmark even in this competitive field of superlative calibre. Powerful V8 engines, the new 6-speed tiptronic and the low weight of the aluminum body result in superior road performance. The new Audi A8 has air suspension with aluminum running-gear components as standard, for an optimum configuration in every driving situation: by means of the continuously variable damper settings the adaptive air suspension reduces body movements, while optimizing road holding and ride comfort. Together with quattro permanent four-wheel drive, the A8 thus offers dynamic...

...The term origami is comprised of two Japanese words: oru (to fold) and kami (paper). It has been defined as "A form of visual / sculptural representation that is defined primarily by the folding of the medium (usually paper)." Contrary to the common assumption, historians believe that origami did not originate in Japan, but in China in the first century AD. At that time, someone realized the inherent delight that one gets from folding a simple piece of paper into a masterpiece. The art form quickly spread across the globe--to Europe, Arabia, and then Japan; taking a firm hold in the culture and religion of the Japanese people. It became an intrinsic part of traditional samurai classes and kimono patterns. Origami forms were passed down from father to son. The pattern of folds and turns was carefully repeated and improved; from generation to generation by mouth and hand. Sadly, many origami forms were lost over the years because the oral tradition was not carried on. The first origami manuals were published in the late 1700's and early 1800's. These manuals contained many traditional forms as well as standard folds and procedures. Modern origami is a product of a cultural exchange between East and West. In truth it is not as much a part of Japanese culture as it is an amalgam of Europe and Japan. In the 1930's, a modern origami master, Akira Yoshizawa created thousands of origami forms, many of which we use today. He is the creator of the system of symbols and terms commonly used...

...Nt1210 Mind Map Research Paper A Mind Map is a tool used to entice, delight, stimulate and challenge a person. The person will discover some astonishing facts about their brain and its function, and they will take the first major steps on the path to freedom of the mind when they are trying to solve a problem. A mind map takes the ideas that are in a person or group’s mind and organizes them into a logical way to solve problems. A mind map can be compared to a map of a city. The city center represents the main idea; the main roads leading from the center represent the key thoughts in your thinking process; the secondary roads or branches represent your secondary thoughts, and so on (Buzan). Mind maps can be drawn by hand, either as "rough notes" during a lecture or meeting, for example, or as higher quality pictures when more time is available. Diagrams that visually map information using branching and radial maps trace back centuries. These pictorial methods record knowledge and model systems, and a long history in learning, brainstorming, memory, visual thinking, and problem solving by educators, engineers, psychologists, and others. Some of the earliest examples of such graphical records were developed by Porphyry of Tyros, a noted thinker of the 3rd century, as he graphically visualized the concept categories of Aristotle. Philosopher Ramon Llull (1235–1315) also used such techniques (Willis). A mind map contains that following 5 elements. The main idea, subject or focus...

...Why one should know one's learning style? Humans absorb information and learn new concept through a variety of methods utilizing their senses such as touch, visual and auditory, and as such there are several leaning styles that one can incorporate. Knowing one's preferred learning style can lead to a more efficient and thorough understanding of information and concepts the person is attempting to learn. It is important and necessary for one to become familiar with their own style for maximum retention and confidence in the learning process. Keep in mind, styles can coexist and merge with more than one being used at a time, with each reinforcing the other . “Learning styles are different and unique ways used by individual as they prepare to learn and recall information, so it is also important to know this in order to tailor a teacher's teaching methodology to suit his students."( Ranganath, 2015). According to the Vark's questionnaire, there are several learning styles that helps my learning by suggesting the strategies I should be using such as "visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic."( Fleming). Visual Learner " A Visual learner can remember and achieve the best results by looking at the pictures, images, movies, and demonstrations by the teacher or conducted oneself." (" (Felder, 2015).
