nation’s development, from an agricultural society to the urbanized one known today. Early periods view art much differently than those who followed, like the Group of Seven. A notably nationalist art movement suggests that their art represented a dramatic departure from earlier styles of painting in Canada. This paper will argue that the Group of Seven did in fact play a major role in its transition, in addition to ‘Great White Hope’, the myth of the North, which catered to the idealistic notion of the
The Group of seven, a Canadian landscape artist group formed in 1920 with only seven members at the time. Franklin Carmichael, Frank Johnston, Lawren Harris, Arthur Lismer, J.E.H. MacDonald, A.Y. Jackson, and Frederick Varley. Although Tom Thomson was never a member of the group of seven and died before the group even formed. He was important to the other artists, awakened their interest in painting landscape. He and Emily Carr were closely working with the group. At the beginning of the 20th century
The Group of Seven is arguably made up of Canada’s most famous artists. Best known for their landscape paintings, there are few portraits that have become national Canadian icons, including Frederick Varley’s Vera (1930). Perhaps the most highly regarded of all Canadian portraits, the rendering of this mysterious woman sparks our curiosity through her captivating eyes and coy smile. She reappears in many of Varley’s paintings, and photographs by John Vanderpant, and later Harold Mortimer Lamb. An
These movies are about a killer clown who eats children sounds like a childhood fear. The book focuses on the story of The Loser Club, or Lucky Seven.

Stormy Weather Georgian Bay is Group of Seven member Frederick Varley’s most recognizable landscape work. He is known for his beautiful Canadian landscape paintings and his work as a war artist, though he was primarily a figure and portrait painter. Nature landscapes like this have become a notable signature of the Group of Seven; and Varley’s piece depicting a pine tree during a storm on Georgian Bay is no exception. Varley’s Stormy Weather Georgian Bay was painted in 1920, and is a tribute to his
behavior that is performed because of group pressure, even though that pressure might not involve a direct request. Many people want to think that they are conformist enough so that they are not looked upon as strange to others and nonconformist enough to demonstrate that they are capable of thinking by themselves. For many years, psychologists have been interested in human conformity. Usually when people are in groups, they behave according to how those in the group behave. That indicates that conformity
Abel Trelawney possesses a preserved mummy hand with seven fingers. The ancient relic is said to be “…the very hand the Queen Tera herself used to bring about devastation to all she ruled” (Stoker, The Jewel of the Seven Stars 79) and symbolizes the power she wielded as a queen. The seven fingers on her hand are used to show not that she was abnormal, but that she was of greater power, as if “having seven fingers gave her greater artistic control. Her capacity for overproduction

It is impossible to deny the similarities of characters, setting, cinematography and more, between The Return of the Secaucus Seven by John Sayles and The Big Chill by Lawrence Kasden. This paper will focus on the similarities and differences in the themes between the two movies. Specifically, focusing on relationships, aging, and death. The two films differ in many aspects but parallel in other ways. Impacts of these themes within the two movies are important to recognize because they are relevant

An octet rule is a chemical rule that indicates that the atoms of the main group elements have a tendency to combine in a manner that makes every atom to possess eight electrons in its valence shell. This combination gives atom to have an electronic configuration which is the same as the electronic configuration of noble gasses. The octet rule applies to oxygen, nitrogen, halogen gas and carbon. Besides, it is appropriate for metals like magnesium and sodium (Califano, 2012). 2 Aufbau rule asserts
existed within the Japanese society where a farmer cannot be with a samurai, as he has a higher rank and is devoted to the ideals of bushido (Martinez 2007). Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai incorporates three different groups, the seven masterless samurai, peasants and bandits (Yoshimoto 2000). This film establishes these three distinct groups in order to critique the class division, which was implemented in the Tokugawa
ambiguous schematic stimuli between spider-fearful and control participants,” (Haberkamp & Schmidt, 2015). Researchers used two series of photos, with seven pictures in each series. Each of the seven pictures morphed from a flower-like image to a spider-like image as the series advanced. A group of spider-fearing participants and the control group, that consisted of participants who were not fearful of spiders, were exposed to the photo series. Researchers recorded each participant’s perception of
After reading the poem "We Real Cool," by Gwendolyn Brooks, most people think that Brooks is making an ironic statement. Most will read the poem and think that Brooks is being sarcastic by using simple language and in the end asserting that the seven pool players will die soon, or more broadly that all who speak in this manner will die soon. No doubt some people will see Brooks' statement "We/Left school" as the beginning of her disapproval of a lack of an education, and that the lines of the poem

Gwendolyn Brooks and it was published in 1960. The title is ironic because one would think the poem would be about a group of people and their flamboyant, cool lifestyle but the poem explains that this lifestyle is a dead end that leads to death. It is also interesting to note that the vowels sounds of the title and the first line of the poem go from high to middle to low. This poem describes seven pool players who are skipping school to do things they consider to be cool, but it ends with “We / Die soon”
