I believe that making a summary is a challenging task. Reproducing a shorted form of the author’s ideas, particularly in large works (e.g. chapters), can be overwhelming. Understanding the thoughts in details is one thing. Compressing it while staying faithful to the central ideas I believe will compress my brain as well. I cannot imagine compressing a 10,000-word chapter in 250-word summary. My first reaction was: even stringing the key words together into a summary may not limit the volume into 250 words. Hard the task may be, I believe certain skills can be learned in forcing ...

Dreams have always inspired artists to produce real visual images. Paintings in pre-historic walls are evidence that human beings have been representing their dreams since time immemorial. Artists in all generations since man’s civilization have been using dreams as inspiration for their works (Barrett 7).

Video in Opera Stage

Introduction Advances in technology and the corresponding creation of digital technologies have significantly impacted the performing arts (Poole & Ho, 2011). Opera has not escaped the technological advancements and as such, new forms of opera have emerged in both digital and virtual formats (Symonds & Karantonis, 2013). Salter (2010) explains that since the 1990s, the scenography of opera has emerged with technological advancements transforming stages into video and monitor accompaniments. The obvious payoff is an enhanced experiential, virtual reality of the opera’s stage. The new technologies blur the lines between the opera’s stage and the motion picture common in ...

René Magritte's oil on canvas painting The Son of Man (1964) has become a very popular visual text in a short period of time.

The painting contains a number of visual symbols, which have already become some kind of the archetypes of modern society. The Son of Man (see ...

Perhaps one of the most commonly known rights guaranteed by the first ten amendments to the Constitution is the Fourth Amendment’s “right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects against unreasonable searches” (U.S. Const. amend IV). Interestingly, while the meaning of the term “unreasonable” might seem intuitive, the Framers of the Constitution did not provide a specific or detailed definition of it.

There is a day I had visited a nearby store as I wanted to buy a pair of shoes. When I got to the shop, there was this attendant of Asian accent, probably from China or Japan. I was not really sure about what I wanted, so I had many questions. However, I realized that the attendant was avoiding eye contact. At first, I ignored the behavior and kept talking, hoping that the attendant will eventually realize that I was anticipating eye contact. However, to my disappointment, there never came a time that the attendant even attempted to ...

When unpacking poetry, readers should make themselves aware of the multiple denotations words may have, especially words that feel very familiar. Robert Herrick’s “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” stands as a perfect example of why this practice is crucial in gaining the entire meaning of a poem. After realizing how the words “rosebuds” and “flower” potentially mean more than just their botanical connotations, the reader discovers a deeper understanding of the poem, noticing a shift in the speaker’s audience, the poem’s tone, and the speaker’s character.

Various concepts are crucial in conducting and understanding test statistics. For a scholar or even a social worker to understand how the test statistics are applied in the assessment process, an in-depth understanding of interpretation of test data comes in handy (Neukrug & Fawcett, 2013).

Validity entails investigating the test statistics to ensure they measure what they are supposed to measure. It is often imperative that the accumulated evidence support the intended interpretation and purpose of the test scores. Validity can be ...

The scene then opens to a server room where a cold bottle of coke spilled into the servers and sending sparks into the servers that then spread into happiness in the cyberspaces around the city.

The population valued the level of creativity in the drawings and the uniqueness of the themes therein represented. In the ...

The most interesting thing about aging in Renaissance art is there were those who viewed aging as a normal part of life and should be treated with reverence instead of disdain as artists such as Rembrandt chose to depict the elderly in their natural state. While Rembrandt decided to do this in a respectful way, however, many of the Renaissance masters took a more scientific approach as they examined the effects of aging on the human face. In other words the Renaissance period provided artists the opportunity to decide how they wanted to illustrate how a human being aged ...

John Dowland - Go, Crystal Tears from Book of Songs, Book 1 for solo voice and lute

1) In the beginning, it was strange and even a little bit uncomfortable to listen to it because it is so different from the music that I usually listen to. I never listen to such old music, so it took a few moments for me to open up my heart and mind to the music. I knew that the sound was beautiful, but because it was so unusual compared to what I usually listen to, it did not immediately attract my attention. When this initial shock wore off, I let myself sink into the song even more deeply. I ...

Nevertheless, he emphasizes the meaning of Hebrew, which influences Jews’ speech in the most direct way, and its effect in Music. Wagner believes that the ancient language, spoken by the representatives of this ethnicity, is one of the main reasons why Jews are ...

Freud and his followers came up with an unconscious mind account. This serves a significant part in explaining psychoanalysis. There was the division of the mind by Freud into a conscious mind, also known as the ego as well as the unconscious mind. Later, it was demarcated into the id (Instincts and ego) and conscience (superego).According to the theory of Freud, unconscious refers to the processes in the mind whereby individuals create an image of themselves being unaware. Freud came up with a proposal of the hierarchical and vertical architecture of the human consciousness, the preconscious, conscious and ...

The literal definition of Avant-Garde is “at the forefront”, and is a term derived from military usage. The avant-garde movement arose mainly because of the Academy’s (mainstream, acceptable art) stranglehold on the art world. The avant-garde sought to subvert the standard fare of the Academy, such as portraits, or urban or rustic scenes, and depict images that reflected the conditions of other socioeconomic classes – rather than the upper class. Moreover, the avant-garde emphasized “innovative”, sometimes radical, techniques. Even a painter such as Monet who is commonly accepted by the Academy of today, was considered avant-garde because of his ...

The only right decision, while giving a definition of culture is to define the main features, causes and ways of creative thought’s expression, and afterwards grouping the obtained data. This is what we can observe in the work of Cook and Glickman. After examining each of the options, one can give examples for each of them right away. However, the American culture in all its manifestations is versatile. And every issue within it is equally important.
