The University Art Gallery Show

Its bright, It's brash it's stimulating. It's Art Express '06! This years show displayed at the University Art gallery, demonstrated the growing interest in contemporary issues and cultural awareness. The Show was set up in separate sections, with similar artworks placed around the same sections of space. There were two glass presentation boxes going along the centre on either side of the room, with three main walls, leading onto smaller walls, presenting the HSC selected works. The set up was cleverly done, as it was very easy to casually walk around and view all the works with out any trouble. As always publicized in each year's art express, it was impossible not to notice the extreme range of different media and forms of works the students used. Ranging from medias like a clothesline to neon lights to print making. You couldn't help but be thrown into the world of the giant splurges of creativity around you; it will make you want to run home and sort through your local tip or bring out the old brushes to whip out something exciting.

The term 'Major work is no longer ' used but replaced by 'Body of work'. The difference being before the student only had to complete one work to complete their practical. Now students have to complete a number of works all interrelating between each other. One of the most outstanding body of works shown that I think boldly stood out from the pack was "Mon Inversion Fragmentee (My fragmented inversion)" by Cara
Lee, from Kambala. This work explored the social representation of women. 300 black and white photos each depict a close up image of a fragment of the divided female body. The rigidity of each individually hung photo exemplifies the restriction of the female and the extent to which they're boxed by society and social conventions. The strengths of the works this year were that the individual works challenged your way of thought. These students are not afraid to share their opinions to the public. It's become a trend that the general public will find it harder to just view a work and simply decide whether it is aesthetically appealing to them or not, with out also stopping to question the world around them or within themselves. Mon Inversion
Fragmentee, Scientific Research; Cell your soul Manipulate and Hidden

  • The Similarity Analysis Module In Spartan 14

    The Similarity Analysis Module in Spartan’14 was used the calculate the similarity score for each of the benzodiazepines compared to the benzodiazepine active site on the chloride receptor. Of the benzodiazepines studied, it was found that lorazepam has the best fit for the active site because it had the highest similarity score compared to the pharmacophore and the lowest number of collisions with the wall of the active site. AutoDock Vina was also used to calculate the binding affinity of each benzodiazepine with the active site on the chloride receptor. It was found that diazepam, lorazepam and midazolam all have the lowest binding affinity of -9.8 kcal/mol and therefore are more likely to bind to the active site. Combining these results

    No two astronomers made quite as significant contributions to their field during the European renaissance like Nicholas Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. There were serious flaws to the widely-accepted Ptolemaic model of the solar system, and these two scientists sought out to correct those flaws. While their approaches and models were very different, the most prominent and new feature of their models were revolutionary and accepted today.

  • How Did Nicolaus Copernicus Let Free

    749 Words  | 2 Pages

    Nicolaus Copernicus is a Renaissance mathematician and astronomer who formulated a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the universe. He was born February 19, 1473 in Toruń Poland.In 1514, Copernicus distributed a handwritten book to his friends that set out his view of the universe. In it, he proposed that the center of the universe was not Earth, but that the sun lay near it. He also suggested that Earth's rotation accounted for the rise and setting of the sun, the movement of the stars, and that the cycle of seasons was caused by Earth's revolutions around it. Finally, he correctly proposed that Earth's motion through space caused the retrograde motion of the planets across the night sky. Nicolaus

    Similarly, anti-depressive medications also act upon serotonin receptors in the brain, switching them on or off. It is believed that many psychological disorders stem from an imbalance of serotonin and dopamine. Common treatments for depression include SSRI’s (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), which increases serotonin in the brain to combat the deficit from the disorder.

  • Chicago Art Observation Report

    This weekend I visited the Chicago Art Institute, and more specifically went to the exhibit: Never a Lovely So Real: Photography and Film in Chicago 1950-1980. I took the train down early in the morning, and spent a while walking around the exhibit, and another hour or two exploring the museum. The title of the exhibition comes from a book on Chicago from 1951 in which Nelson Algren, the author, says, “Like loving a woman with a broken nose, you may well find lovelier lovelies. But never a lovely so real.” The photography collection took up most of the bottom floor, and focused on Chicago as a city of neighborhoods, divided and completely separated from each other. Although segregated for each other, the collection of neighborhoods demonstrates

    As a child I enjoyed roaming museums that encouraged my artistic inclination. I took art classes in my free time and was exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s showcase of young artists. Creating art has helped me express my ideas and working in mixed media allows me to recreate used goods. Using plaster, paint and trashed Styrofoam, I casted a piece signifying liberation. Utilizing a broken printer, I integrated the parts to create wearable jewelry. Retrieving discarded telephone cable and candy wrappers I created sculptures that adorn small offices. Recently, I have begun oil painting. Tinting color and shading can be painstaking but has taught me patience and

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

    With that being said, many treatment methods have come out of this. Treatment can be with prescription drugs, which suggests that neurotransmitter imbalances may play a role in the disorder. Benzodiazepines, or more commonly known as Valium or Librium, stimulate the neurotransmitter gammaminobutyric acid (GABA) and overall can help with the symptoms of GAD. Also, there are other drugs that don’t directly affect GABA levels such as antidepressants (Prozac) that can help treat GAD. Taking these drugs sounds like no big deal and people will be much better off on them. That is not always the case, these drugs don’t work for all patients and they can cause dependency on them, which is never

  • Nicolaus Copernicus Research Paper

    877 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1572, astronomer Tycho Brahe starred deeply into the sky over his native Denmark. What he saw blew his beliefs apart; Brahe had seen a super nova, an exploding star. Before his very eyes, the universe was changing. To learn more, Brahe built an observatory. Soon, Brahe compiled data on mars and its movements that appeared to challenge the Copernican theory of circular orbits. In 1604, Johannes Kepler, a student of Brahe’s, observed another supernova. Kepler formed his first law, that orbits orbit the sun, not in circular, but elliptical orbits. In the spring of 1609, Galileo stood before a new marvel, the spyglass. Galileo was a devote catholic, but he was also an avid scientist. He improved this new tool by grinding lenses, which increased its range by a factor of 30. With his telescope, Galileo looked further into the night sky than anyone before. He saw craters doting the surface of the moon, and spots on the sun. Galileo saw moons orbiting Jupiter, he observed Venus going through phases much like the earth’s moon. This information persuaded him that Copernicus was right. just as Jupiter’s moons orbited that giant planet, other planets like earth and Venus must therefore orbit the sun. But trouble was looming, Galileo’s findings were explosive; they supported Copernicus’ theories, which the Vatican condemned. The questioning minds of the renascence were confounding the church and its long recited teachings. With science, they had proved the church wrong at its most basic concept; that earth stood at the center of God’s universe. The Vatican scorned Copernican theory. Science showed how things worked, not who designed them. Determined to silence Galileo, the Vatican put him on trial. A church tribunal convicted the scientist on grave suspicion if heresy, a crime punishable by burning at the stake. To avoid this, Galileo partially recanted. He was granted a different punishment,

    Before writing this paper, I browsed through the book, Art through the Ages, chose three pictures that I enjoyed, and then found three similar pictures from the National Art Gallery located in Washington D.C. I had never visited this museum before, but have been to other museums at the National Mall. I found the location of the pictures at the Gallery and then visited the museum. I tried to employ three art works from different eras in the book, that way they style and images were different and I would not be comparing similar works of art.

    In the 1980’s, antidepressants became more mainstream when SSRI’s first came of the market. SSRI’s or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are the most widely known depression drugs that increase brain levels of serotonin (neurotransmitter linked to mood). Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft are highly effective medications relieving major depression symptoms as well as chronic depression. SSRIs have fewer adverse side effects, which increase their popularity.
