...Name: Ariagna Briceno Date: 01/23/2012 CIS110 Smartlipo Smartlipo Laser Body Sculpting is a revolutionary, minimally invasive treatment that does something, no fitness routine in the world can: permanently destroy fat cells. Since your body has only a finite amount of these cells, no new fat cells come back. You can finally have that body you have always wanted. How does Laser Body Sculpting work? This laser-assisted lipolysis procedure is performed using a one millimeter cannula (or tube) inserted into the skin. A laserfiber inside of the cannula delivers energy directly to fat cells, causing them to rupture and drain away as liquid. Simultaneously, tissue around the area coagulates, resulting in overall tighter skin tissue. What areas of the body can be treated? Laser Body Sculpting is ideal for the neck, jaw line, arms, breasts, bra fat, abdomen, inner and outer thighs and knees. Who is a good candidate? A perfect candidate is in good health and of normal body weight. How does Laser Body Sculpting compare to conventional liposuction? Convention liposuction is meant to remove greater amounts of fat. However, since this can leave behind unsightly pockets of skin. Is there a recovery period? Laser Body Sculpting is a minimally invasive procedure which usually requires only local anesthesia. Some light trauma can occur, but you will be able to return to work in a couple of days and resume exercise after 2 weeks. How...

...Family Systems Therapy Alexis M. Foote Texas A & M University-Corpus Christi Family Systems Therapy There are a number of theories under the Family Systems Therapy group that focus on communication patterns within the family unit. Systems theory is based on the family’s response to feedback from one another and the desire of the group to make changes to maintain the status quo. In the family system we discover who we are, we grow and change, and we give and receive support that is necessary for survival (Corey, 2013). A number of theories exist based on various approaches, but the theory behind them is that families are SYSTEMS of interconnected and interdependent individuals and to understand the individual, we must understand the family system. The family systems perspective is rooted in the idea that the client’s behavior may do four things, the behavior may serve a purpose of function for the family, the behavior may be unintentionally maintained by the family, be a function of the family’s inability to operate productively, and lastly the behavior could be a symptom of dysfunctional patterns that have been handed down across generations (Corey, 2013). Alfred Alder was the first therapist to use family therapy in a systemic approach. Following him, Murray Bowen developed his Multigenerational Family Therapy approach to resolving problems in the family unit. He focuses on differentiation of self for individuals to reduce the chance for entanglement, which...

...Basic Techniques in Marriage and Family Counseling and Therapy. ERIC Digest. The area of marriage and family counseling/therapy has exploded over the past decade. Counselors at all levels are expected to work effectively with couples and families experiencing a wide variety of issues and problems. Structural, strategic, and transgenerational family therapists at times may seem to be operating alike, using similar interventions with a family. Differences might become clear when the therapist explains a certain technique or intervention. Most of today's practicing family therapists go far beyond the limited number of techniques usually associated with a single theory. TECHNIQUES The following select techniques have been used in working with couples and families to stimulate change or gain greater information about the family system. Each technique should be judiciously applied and viewed as not a cure, but rather a method to help mobilize the family. The when, where, and how of each intervention always rests with the therapist's professional judgment and personal skills. THE GENOGRAM The genogram, a technique often used early in family therapy, provides a graphic picture of the family history. The genogram reveals the family's basic structure and demographics. (McGoldrick & Gerson, 1985). Through symbols, it offers a picture of three generations. Names, dates of marriage, divorce, death, and other relevant facts are included in the genogram. It provides an enormous amount...

...I am still thinking of an animal to sculpt. I don't know what type of stuff I would be using but after I'm done sculpting I would want to spray paint it with gold or silver. Either way it's going to look very nice. If I can't sculpt I would like to work on a canvas, and paint something agricultural just like Richard, but not copying anything he has done or anyone else has done. I want to do something original. If I am sculpting I don't want to work too large I think I just want to work bigger than my hand, but if I am painting on a canvas I want to work on a regular canvas not too big. I think I would need a lot of time to work if I am painting or sculpting. Either way it's going to take me a while to do. I think the most difficult part of the sculpture would but putting holes into it. The most difficult part of painting would be trying to make it look agricultural. We will see along the way what I would need Ms. Mosley to help me...

...Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475 in Caprese, Italy. As an Italian Renaissance artist he gained his fame through architecture, painting, and sculpture. Although he is mostly known today for his painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he truly considered his greatest and most favored art to be through sculpting (Kleiner, 2013). When sculpting, Michelangelo believed that the image was found as the artist unlocked the image in the stone. As the stone is chiseled away, the artist unlocks the idea that they captured in their mind. He also thought the hands did the work while eyes were judges of the artwork (Kleiner, 2013). Artistically Michelangelo doesn’t believe that he is indebted to anyone, but studied and created sketches based on the artwork of Giotto and Masaccio, Florentine artists. For the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and Raphael are the most important and significant artists, yet Michelangelo was prominent in sculpture. The Florentine sculptor was an apprentice for Domenico Ghirlandaio, but before his apprenticeship was complete he went to Lorenzo de’Medici’s school where his art was greatly influenced and allowed him to start sculpting (Hartle, T. W.,1999). I would like to have this work sculpture commissioned by Michelangelo in honor of my great grandfather who recently passed. Instead of something for his tombstone, he always wished to have a statue to decorate our courtyard. We both greatly admire the statue David that is in Piazza...

...significant as the death year of Alexander the Great. To an art historian this death marked the birth of Hellenism which is considered to have ended in about 30 BCE. It was at this time that an Athens centered Greek artistic world expanded to include all the major cities of the empire. This was an empire that would tear itself apart rapidly after the death of Alexander as his generals vied to succeed him. If the classical period of Greek art embodied serenity, both in pose and expression, the Hellenistic period embodied the rapidly changing world unfolding around them. Variety became a fixture of the artistic world. Expressions were stronger and more varied. Movement was exaggerated and emotive. The Hellenistic period was a time when bronze sculpting...

...The great biblical hero “David” has been represented many times throughout the history of art, and two famous examples of “David” were sculpted by both Michelangelo and Bernini. When sculpting a similar subject matter, there will often be comparable characteristics, but between the different stylistic periods of the Baroque and the High Renaissance, there become noticeable aspects that differentiate them. Known as the first large marble nude to be sculpted since the classical antiquity, Michaelangelo’s "David" was completed in the High Renaissance, with embodiment of the Neoplatonic Ideal. The 14 foot tall sculpture depicts a popular subject in Florentine art, by pridefully representing the city’s patron saint. Completed in 1504, at the age of 24, Michaelangelo’s “David” is widely respected as one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of art. The city of Florence commissioned Michelangelo, which gave him a giant slab of improper marble, previously abandoned. Against expectations, he turned it into a timeless memorial of Florence’s Old Testament hero....

...During the Italian Renaissance, one of the most world renowned artists make his mark. With numerous achievements made as a painter, architect, poet, and sculptor, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, more commonly known as Michelangelo, earned the label of artistic genius by people of his time and those for centuries to come. Scholars among others, intrigued by his legacy, have examined his works and sorted through documents and biographies left behind in order to piece together Michelangelo’s life story and track his achievements. Despite the vast number of artifacts, though, not every depiction of Michelangelo’s life lines up exactly. Michelangelo’s early life set him up for a successful future in the arts. He...

...interesting characters that came out at night and the nighttime scenes, but he also photographed scenes of the city’s high society. These included intellectuals, ballet, and grand operas. Brassai also took pictures of many of his artist friends, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Henri Matisse, Alberto Giacometti, plus many famous writers of the time. His photographs brought him international fame. This led to one man shows in the United States at the Art Institute of Chicago and the New York City Museum of Modern Arts and other venues. After the outbreak of the Second World War, when Germany occupied Paris, Brassai escaped to the south of the country, but returned to rescue some negatives he left behind. He turned to drawing and sculpting during this time because photography on the streets was prohibited. These drawings were published after the end of the war. The end of the war also signaled Brassai’s return to photography. He also took photos of murals and graffiti in Paris. The pictures showed the transformation of graffiti in the city. These photos were the subject of the one man show in New York’s Museum of Modern Art. Also, several tapestries were made based off of the graffiti...

...The Classical Period The Classical Art Period consisted of ancient Greek and Roman art and fell between the years 900 BC and 31 BC. During the Classical Period, Athens and Sparta were dominant cities in the Greek region. These cities were suspicious of one another, but managed to live peacefully together until the 5th century, BC. Cultural and political differences between the two cities caused a rivalry to form. The rivalry was eventually quelled after a brutal war which ultimately ended in the demise of both cities and the rise of Macedonia as the dominant power in the region. Eventually, the social structure in the Classical Period became somewhat of a democracy and an open society which we have emulated in the United States (“History of Greece: Classical Greece”, 2014). Many other wars occurred over the course of the Classical Period, and this culture of war contributed to the realism of the art of the time. The brutality of war and the effects it had on Greek society inspired artists to focus on man, rational thinking, and logic (“History of Greece: Classical Greece”, 2014). Greek artists in the 5th century, BC began to realistically imitate humans and animals through art (Boardman, 2012). These Greek artists gained a better understanding of anatomy and the human body’s mechanics, giving them the ability to realistically render the human form in multiple positions without appearing awkward. Logic was valued over emotion in sculptures. This means that facial expressions...

...Michelangelo said yes and started working with him. While he was working for him he learned a lot of different types of art techniques including the fresco technique and other ways to paint This shows that Michelangelo wanted to learn and would do anything for it. He wouldn’t let a chance to work with an artist slip by. This influenced the Renaissance because if other artists saw Michelangelo do it, then they could possibly do it too. A few years after he worked with Lorenzo de’ Medici, he started to get asked to do art for people. One of these art projects was the The Sistine Chapel. He was still developing his sculpting skills when he did this project, but that didn’t stop him, he still completed the Sistine Chapel to the best of his abilities. This is an example of an art skill he would use in the future. Michelangelo wasn’t afraid to try new things like sculpting or painting he loved it all. This influenced the Renaissance because it showed that new ideas were good and it was a good thing that people like Michelangelo were trying it. One last art type of skill Michelangelo tried was observing human anatomy. As we all know Michelangelo was a great sculptor and that can be proven with the sculpture of David. What people might not know is that Michelangelo would examine human bodies so he could get the right knowledge about the human body. This shows how much he cared about his work because he wanted to get the right information to make his artwork right. This was an influence...

...An American Girl (1895) by Bessie Potter Vonnoh Information About the Artist Bessie Potter Vonnoh (born Bessie Potter) was born in St. Louis Missouri on August 17, 1872. She was the only child her parents conceived, and two years after she was born, her father died in an accident. In her early age, she developed a fondness for sculpting, and when she was 14, she began attending the Art Institute of Chicago. Early in her career, she worked under Larado Taft, who was a sculptor who lived in her area. She worked with Taft along with a group of other women sculptors. Collectively, Vonnoh and these women were known as the “White Rabbits,” and they were assembled by Larado to assist him in preparing sculptures for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Later in 1899, she married the impressionist painter, Robert Vonnoh, and took his last name. He would eventually die in 1933. She would remarry to Dr. Edward L. Keyes Jr., who died within a year of their marriage. Vonnoh herself would die in 1955 at age 52, and she was buried beside her first husband, Robert Vonnoh, in Connecticut.

...Leonardo da Vinci, also called the Universal Man is known for being a great painter, sculptor, scientist and engineer. One of his most known works is the "Mona Lisa", which gained a lot of popularity. Leonardo Da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He grew up in a Farmhouse which happened to be right outside of a village in present-day Italy called Anchiano. While growing up, Leonardo Da Vinci did not have any education beyond the topics of basic reading, writing and mathematics. At the age 14, Da Vinci had an evident talent for art, so his father got him an apprenticeship with an artist named Andrea del Verrochio where he taught him and his other apprentices leather arts, carpentry, drawing, painting and sculpting. Around the age of 20, da Vinci got certified as a master artist in Florence’s Guild of Saint Luke and he established his own workshop where he taught his apprentices. Da Vinci still collaborated with his teacher, Andrea del Verrochio, with completing paintings. People believe that Verrochio finished one of Da Vinci’s paintings called “Baptism of Christ” with the help of his student. It is also said that Verrochio was so humbled by his student’s talent, that he never picked up a paintbrush ever again. In 1482, Leonardo da Vinci left Florence to become a court artist for the Duke of...

...Renaissance The first important painter of the Renaissance was Giotto di Bondone In 1334, Giotto was appointed chief architect in Florence, where he remained until his death in 133Therefore, as the city-states of Italy began to develop great wealth during the early fifteenth century, architects and sculptors rose to fame and power. In 1401, Florence held a competition to choose the artist to design and sculpt a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistry, a church honoring St. Paul the Baptist. The Italian Renaissance is divided into three major phases: Early, High, and Late Renaissance. The Early Renaissance was lead by sculptor Donatello, architect Filippo Brunelleschi, and painter Masaccio. They began the movement on the foundations that development and progress was integral to the evolution and survival of the arts. They found their inspiration form antiquity, creating realistic figures that portrayed personality and behavior. They focused on the laws of proportion for architecture, the human body, and space. The term Early Renaissance encompasses most 15th century art. The High Renaissance sought to create a generalized style of art that focused on drama, physical presence, and balance. The major artists of this period were Leonardo Da Vinci, Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian. The period lasted only a short time from 1495 to 1520. The Late Renaissance was put into motion by the sack of Rome in 1527, forcing artists to relocate to other artistic centers in Italy...
