...Running Head: Continuity and Transformation across All Art Periods Final Project: Continuity and Transformation across All Art Periods Ansamma Paul Thomas Edison State College Grade 60% Question: Through the ages, artistic activity has often been focused in particular cities or groups of cities. Three of these concentrations stand out, each representative of a different time and era in the history of Western art: • The Rome-Florence-Venice triangle (Renaissance and High Renaissance) • Paris (Impressionism and Post-Impressionism) • New York (Abstract Expressionism). Consider all three locales and discuss artists, works of art, and historic periods associated with each locale. The evolution of art from the early Hellenistic to the later Roman period was made possible through the modification of features as the sculptors and artists saw fit. As such, the Romans "add[ed] to, subtract[ed] from... and innovate[d]" Hellenistic art (Soltes, L7, 3:18) upon taking over Greece. Roman works such as "The Laocoon" (Soltes, L7, 3:22) and "Soldier-Farmer" (Soltes, L7, 11:30) among many showed continuity and transformation. In the former work, the element of pathos is continuous from the Hellenistic while the addition of a son and an extended serpent shows transformation; in the latter work, the excessive wrinkles across the man's face serves to evoke pathos and a sense of respect through pietas...

...Introduction “Competition in the 21st century's global economy will be complex, challenging, and filled with competitive opportunities and threats.” (Ireland & Hitt 2005, p. 63) In Ireland and Hitt’s paper, they discussed that today’s organizations are undergoing a challenging environment which is competitive and filled with changes.

...Virginia Watkin Professor Dave Graham Music 118 November 26, 2013 Rock and Roll has Lost the Ability to Effect Meaningful Societal Change Music has often been said to be the universal language. Rock musicians especially learned to use the power of rock music and lyrics to effect powerful changes in society, most particularly in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The early age of Rock and Roll was an exciting time for the musicians, lyricists and the mass of young people who listened to them. While it may be that rock music in all of its genres of today can still prod listeners to champion for social change, the rock music market has fragmented so dramatically that rock and roll has lost the ability to impact mass sections of the population and has therefore, lost its unique voice and ability to effect real social change in US society. The turbulence of the 1960’s, due to the escalation of the conflict in Vietnam to a full out war, the assassination of both President John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. and the push for civil rights for all people made for fertile ground for songwriters to encourage change for the better through their music. (Hibbard and Kaleialoha, p 122) Lyricists and composers worked in tandem to write songs to both inform the public and, in some cases, incite the public to take action against what was happening in, around and to the world. Songs such as “Blowin in the Wind, written by Bob Dylan in 1962 and “Ball of Confusion (that’s what the world...

...a dream house in Malibu. Every day, she wears high-heels to work, and even runs a fashion chain under her name. For many, she was the influential icon of American culture in the late 20th century. Until now, I dare say that her image is still very potent worldwide. Who is she? Never before has she ever starred in a Hollywood movie or performed at a famous fashion show. Surprisingly, she never exists in real life and she is literally a toy. Yes, it can hardly be any other toy but Barbie. Nowadays, girls can be seen wearing Barbie clothing, using Barbie perfume, carrying Barbie backpacks, and sleeping in Barbie pajamas, not to mention cosmetics, sneakers etc. (Morgenson 1991, 66). Mattel, Inc., the mother company of Barbie, should feel proud of her. Because on average, an American girl has ten Barbie dolls, a British or Italian girl may own seven, while five is the number of Barbie that a German or French girl has. It was Mattel’s purpose and will when introducing Barbie that she would become a lifestyle, a fashion statement, a way of life, something sacred more than just a doll. And in fact, she did! This plastic doll is worth being considered a legend, which can represent many statuses in the society regardless of gender, skin colour or classes, thus remaining attractive to different girls’ generations since its year of birth.
