French art I vividly remember this crucial event that I attended at Washington, accompanied by a few friends of mine. Basically, the event involved learning about French art and it hosted all art students from premier schools worldwide. Also, all the art tutors had been asked to avail themselves. Significantly, I attended the event because it fell under my area of specialization and it had been made mandatory for everybody concerned to attend. Despite of the high air fare cost and long flight duration, I arrived safely, took a short break at the restaurant and thereafter stepped to the venue. No sooner did I arrive than the master of ceremony declared the meeting officially opened. Indeed, I was not that late as I suspected initially.  One of the USA famous art professors began the talk on the introduction to French art. I was very keen on his talk as he elaborated on the dreamy and dauby landscapes of the French impressionists and bolder. I was very overwhelmed about his emphasis on creative impressions of cave painting rendered at Lascaux…

How Art Evokes Different Emotions: Drawing Perspective from Plato, David Bell, and Karl Barth. 1.0 Introduction Various philosophical approaches have described art in different forms, and over the years, thoughtful contributions from diverse disciplines have converged to form an integrated whole. Plato used the desired unattainable beauty, which is beyond the form of body and face to describe how, when coupled with imitation and inspiration, gives a perfect kind of divine aesthetic. Karl Barth made an extensive contribution to the discipline of theology aesthetics. He explained how the church builds on new forms of aesthetics in the twentieth century to commission its work. David Bell, an influential contemporary art scholar, is bringing a unique perspective into art by advocating for aesthetic engagement. This is an approach of introducing aesthetics to an early childhood learning for both learning art comprehensively as well as developing advanced techniques of learning at an early age. I agree that art evokes emotions, and with aesthetics as an aspect of art, it goes beyond beauty to give inspiration, power, and religious influence. Understanding these emotions as…

Hisako Koyama Sunspots are hypothetically the most conspicuous features on the photosphere above the solar atmosphere. They have been argued to be the most significant players in solar and terrestrial interference. Notably, sunspots are dark spots that appear on the surface of the sun and which are cooler than other parts. These regions are results of magnetic bipolar magnetic loops that find their way onto the surface of the sun (Knipp et al., 1216). The occurrence of sunspots is variable and may happen for days or even months, presenting threats of flares and coronal mass ejections. The existence of sunspots, and their study thereof, can be traced to thousands of years ago. Writings of Chinese astronomers, dating back to 28 century BC acknowledge visual observation of the sun having ‘dark vapour’ at its centre.  However, despite the length of time over which they have been studied, sunspots have proven to be a particularly elusive thermal phenomenon, with knowledge about them evolving each day. This notwithstanding, the evolution of human consciousness on sunspots, cannot be isolated from the contributions of various…

Masks in the First Nations and Inuit Cultures First Nations material culture has become highly valued and has been recognized in the world of modern arts and culture. These views, however, often distract from current historical behavior towards the First peoples. The masks of the First Peoples are art pieces that are celebrated by the First peoples and Inuit cultures and are seen as powerful, incredible, and identity-making art. On the other hand, the art represents and shows the terrible travesties that were imposed on the First Peoples in Canada. These art act as reminders of the cultures of the First Nations and also as preservers of culture. They are reminders that these cultures still exist and that they are still being practiced in the 21st century. The masks are treated as art and are kept in the museums as artifacts used to preserve history and teach interested persons about the cultures of the communities associated with the masks. The art market highly values these pieces as they are used to dispel stereotypes associated with the people from these cultures…

The technology of ammunition Prompt 1 According to Winner (1980), some artifacts are widely believed to require social structures in which they can operate; others are thought to work well in conjunction with specific systems of power and authority. Some technologies require political properties for them to run and perform their function. Winner states that the political properties occur in two ways, through invention, design, or the arrangement of individual elements becomes a community affair or political technology or items that require social order to operate. Whenever I read Langdon Winner’s book “Do Artifacts, Have Politics,” I develop the technology of ammunition in my mind. Arms used by security officers for war are sophisticated instruments that require knowledge and skilled labor so as they can serve their purpose. The technology of ammunition is changing every time, and this requires firms to adopt the newest technology to engage their soldiers in advanced training. Just like Winner in his book quotes Jerry Mander that “if you accept nuclear power plants, you also accept techno-scientific industrial-military elite. Without these people in charge, you…
