In order to complete this museum report, I visited the Bowers Museum that is located in Santa Ana. The visit and the entire experience was fun for me because it gave me an opportunity to learn in an entirely different and stimulating environment. History is not as much fun when sitting in class and talking about people and cultures that one cannot relate to. Thus, going to the museum makes the learning experience relatable and easier to understand. This was my second time visiting the Bowers Museum. This visit brought back memories because the last time I was there, ...

The cost, time, specification triangle is a visual way of expressing the constraints that govern all project management projects (Lock, 2007, p. 7). It is a useful way to show the relationship between the key components of a project and because of their inter-relationship, it provides a reminder that changes in any of the three constraints will have an impact on the remaining ones. However, there are issues when attempting to use this approach as the sole way of determining if a project was successful. In particular, the cost, time, and specification are always determined in relation to the needs of the client for ...

I have studied in college for a couple of years so far and as the time passes – more and more I start to realize that education is the key in being successful In the future.

I am really glad that my parents brought me up this way and in fact, they convinced me to study in college.

Museums play significant role in a cultural live of every nation. Hans Haacke called museums “managers of consciousness”. He explained, “museums give us the interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it” (Leeuwen et al., 2013). I, personally, agree with this citation. Especially it is true for such nations as Welsh who are trying to identify themselves while being a part of Great Britain.

As a little kid, I grew up fantasizing about getting an opportunity to interact first hand with the cultural diversities that constitute world cultures. I always enjoyed watching CNN features on cultural practices by different people and the amazing past that shaped the American history. To me, culture was the single most effective was of defining a people’s beliefs, values and virtues. Embracing cultural diversity is the best way of appreciating community differences and societal growth. It is against this backdrop that I decided to visit Norton Simon Museum on------------------. I had got information from The Los Angeles Times that ...

Environmental review is necessary to determine the success factors to consider when starting a business. Apart from the microeconomic factors such as suppliers, customers, competitors and government policies that are to be taken into account on incubation of a business opportunity, the macro environment shapes opportunities and poses threat to a business.

As such, any change in demographic factors has significant implications for any business.

Jane Addams and Hull House:A Personal Reflection

Visiting the Hull House museum provided a revealing view of the great effort it took at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century for social change to happen, not only in Chicago, but also nationally. It was very interesting to learn that when, in 1889, Hull House opened, Jane Addams and her colleague Ellen Gates Starr viewed it simply as a place “to offer art and literary education to their less fortunate neighbors” and that it developed over the years into so much more (“About Hull” n.d.). Although I am not an expert in American history, I ...

Introduction

The artist’s biography plus the historical context to which an artwork is attached have great significance when it comes to formal analysis. Therefore, formal analysis not only describes the artistic principles incorporated on the artwork but also provides adequate information in terms of the scope and historical interpretation. As such, the analysis helps the reader envision the object in particular so that they may get the entire literature about the piece of art and its significance in the discipline. Among the essential elements, details under formal analysis include; the form, color, and style as well as the compositional ...

Glaucus atlanticus – a kind of gastropod mollusks from the unit of nudibranchs. Nudibranch called a large group of marine gastropods.

This painting executed in black crayon by famous French artist who was a major figure of a realist movement. He is largely known for rejecting the Romanticism and appeal of the previous generation of painters. Usually he painted with oil, and Head of a Sleeping Bacchante is a rare case when he used black chalk, but also stumped, lifted and scratched the work to get the needed balance between lightness and darkness. Obviously, dark shadowy gray prevails in the painting but there is still sense of lightness and innocence in the subject matter of the work.

Abstract
The Brooklyn Bridge is probably underappreciated by most of the people who use it today but it is still an example of great engineering. The chief engineer, Roebling, designed a suspension bridge that was fifty percent longer than any other suspension bridge of the times. His design for weighting of the bridge to keep it stable when there was wind is a very important lesson for today’s suspension bridge designers. The health and safety issues of the height of the bridge and the use of the Caisson boxes have been discussed. The approximately 27 deaths that took place ...

According to Hartt and Wilkins (2010), the name Giotto di Bondone became synonymous to the Early Renaissance period. Most of the details of Giotto’s birth and death is speculated by experts due to the lack of public records and statements about the artist. In some recounts, the Italian artist is said to be from Colle di Romagnano in the northern region of Florence. Records in 1267 noted that his father is called “Bondone”, a man with high standing in Florence. While records have no clear idea as to where Giotto was born, a hamlet in the northern region of Florence ...
