Still Essays

Still life is objects that are inanimate and cannot move. Still life art is paintings and drawings which are produced by capturing and gathering objects together in a group in an arranged manner. Like; Fruit, Flowers, Household Items and food. The earliest still life was produced by the ancient Egyptians. They used to paint object and food on the tomb walls. Their aim of this was to show what the object clearly was and scenes of everyday life. In the 1800's was considered unimportant as it didn't

showing a reflected image of Claesz himself, painting the still life. Among these goods, Claesz includes several references to death. In the rear right side of the painting is a human skull. Next to it is a glass that’s been tipped over, and right next to that is a cracked open walnut. These all allude to the idea that nothing and no one can last forever, and serves to remind the viewer of life’s inherent transience. The Vanitas Still Life was just one example of the many various artworks that

jan Davidz De Heem “Still life with Flowers in a Glass Vase” Description The piece is a still- life painting of flowers in a glass vase on a stone sheet It was painted by Jan Davidz De Heem in 1650.

I decided to study the process of how whisky is made, from start to finish. I visited the local Penderyn distillery, Aberdare situated in Rhondda Cynon Taff on the 2nd October 2014. “In 2007, Penderyn Distillery introduced three new brands: Brecon Five Vodka, Brecon Gin and Merlyn Cream Liqueur. Like Penderyn Single Malt Whisky, all three have won international recognition and are gaining an excellent reputation in the UK and abroad as premium spirits” (Penderyn Whisky, 2008). Whilst there I met

William Kalf (1619-1693) was a great Dutch master who was known for his range of still life paintings ‘Pronkstilleven’, which translates to ‘Ostentatious still life’. This still lifes displayed an array of luxurious possessions that could only reflect the lifestyle of a wealthy human in Holland during the seventeenth century. Venetian glass, Chinese porcelain and Turkish carpets decorated with ornamental gold and silverware were painted as a symbol of status, to be hung in the homes of the wealthy

Heart of Darkness, written by Joseph Conrad in 1899, has undergone immense scrutiny since publication. This narrative piece introduced new formal elements that reflected the innovations of literature during the late nineteenth century. One specific element that seems to be of interest to literary critics and analyzers is the use of two narrators in one story. And to add onto this distinctive quality, the storytelling behind Heart of Darkness incorporates both impressionism and symbolism. With

Rachel Ruysch was a Dutch still life painter (1664-1750) from Amsterdam, specializing in flower paintings. Ruysch was ranked highly, not only by other female painters, but also by male painters, which was unheard of at the time. She was born into a family that allowed for her to flourish as an artist. Her father, Federik Ruysch, was a highly acclaimed professor in botany and anatomy as well as an amateur artist. As a way of documenting and embellishing scientific findings, Federik created a set of

vanitas was a Spaniard named Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664). Many of his still life paintings involved monks and skulls, where he also showed his skill of white draperies and the texture of those cloths. All of these elements can be found in Dali’s painting, and the title of the painting also suggests that Dali received inspiration from Zurbarán’s

Baroque art was a new art movement in Europe that evolved between 1600 and 1750. It was a distinguished art because of its movement and dynamism, and theoretically dependent on the mastery of geometry and space. The illusionism of baroque art is based on the capability to depict reality. All baroque art are varied outwardly but were the products of technical realizations of the renaissance. The term evolved in the mid-18th century when John Joachim used it to describe excessive art of the previous

Important Work “Get to work!!!” Hunter is 6’4” weighing In at 210. He’s darker and has bright green eyes and dark hair. The sound of traffic and typing filled Hunter Harbaugh’s ears, and then suddenly he got a private number call. Hunter answered the phone “Hi, this is The Kings Toys how may I help you.” “Hey Hunter it's John Ryan and the office in Russia is failing we need your help now”. “Ok i just bought a flight to Russia i'll be there Tomorrow.” Hunter gets on the plane and sits down and

In 1936 Georgia O’Keefe’s used oil on canvas to create a painting titled, “Deer’s Skull with Pedernal.” It was painted in the desert of New Mexico while O’Keefe was living there. It is one of her many works that reflects what she saw during her time there. The first thing the viewer’s eyes are drawn to is the deer’s skull. Skull’s similar to this are also included in “Summer Days” and “Cow’s Skull with Calico Roses.” From the repetition of this element in O’Keefe’s work, it can be concluded that

that help a student navigate their life as adults. Without classes that help students expand and delve into their future career choices, they can limit their views of success. An excellent example of this can be found in Jonathan Kozol 's Still Separate, Still Unequal, particularly in his interviews with the students of Fremont High School in Los Angeles. In a discussion about the sewing and hairdressing courses provided in the school, a student talks about already knowing how

professional job market, where a college education is not only needed to function, but is also required. The unfortunate part is that “working- class” or inner- city schools are far from improving, as Jonathan Kozol emphasizes in his essay “Still Separate, Still Unequal.” He states “As racial isolation deepens and the inequalities of education finance remain unabated and take on new and more innovative forms, the principals of many inner- city schools are making choices that few principals in public

Still Separate, Still Unequal by Jonathan Kozol I found this article to be very interesting and extremely heartbreaking. Jonathan Kozol paints a vivid and grim picture of predominantly black or Hispanic schools in and around some the largest cities in America. Even in areas where the distribution of races is somewhat equal, Kozol tells us that most white families would rather send their kids by bus to a school where more than half of the students are white. Some schools, like Martin Luther King

Photography, as suggested by Collier and Collier (1986) is a mechanistic record of culture, behaviour and interactions which extends our perceptions and representations of our surroundings and environment. Photographs and still images are able to encapsulate our senses to reveal a record of abstraction and vision to create a material representation of what the photographer recognises as meaningful (Collier & Collier 1986). However, according to Davies (1999), a camera which captures these images

students have been affected in almost every aspect of their life, such as academically, mentally and emotionally. There no longer have to be two completely different types of schools for whites and for blacks, in order to see that segregation is still a huge part of the school system today. Economic segregation in schools has impacted many working class students in a very negative way. These students don’t get equal opportunities as those students attending elite schools.

In the article “Still Separate, Still Unequal: America’s Education Apartheid” author Jonathan Kozol argues that segregation is still a major issue in our education system. Kozol talks about schools where minorities make up the major student body. He states that schools with namesakes tied to the civil rights movement are some of the most isolated schools for minorities where white students make up less than a third of the student body. Kozol proceeds to talk about these schools where minorities make

Ravitch are two different writers who wrote on similar claims, however, they both had written their pieces with different strategies to convey their arguments. In “Still Separate, Still Unequal”, Jonathon Kozol berates the

Race and Ethnicity Today in society, there is an inequality with races and ethnic backgrounds in the United States. The prejudice judgements have flourished over many generations which causes the world view of racism to become international. There are many differences between race and ethnicity. Race is defined by the color of someone’s skin, society considers people if they are one drop of that race they are considered that race, this is known as the “Drop of Blood” theory, this pertains to a racist

of the prejudicial factors that America’s educational system allows, which corresponds to the uncontrollable circumstances that are negatively affecting the educational opportunities of children. Longtime educational critic and author of “Still Separate, Still Unequal” Jonathan Kozol, believes that school segregation may be more common today than it’s ever been before. In fact, he argues that resegregation in inner city schools is surprisingly voluntarily or even by forced upon by law but no one
