Essays on Color

Introduction

In 1852, Francis Guthrie was discussing with his brother Frederick the coloring of a map. He discovered the fact that he could color the map of England counties with the use of only four colors. He used the colors in such a way that each division had a single color and two segments sharing a common boundary had different colors. Thus, the four color problem was born and the question arose whether in a plane map, four colors were sufficient to denote the divisions of adjacent regions sharing the same boundary, without using the same colors.

The perception of the majority of people in any society easily denotes what dominant ideologies mean. Each society shares certain beliefs that uphold certain values accepted and indeed practiced by them as revealed by the Omi and Winant racial theory. They argued the race concept was created to justify genocide and inequality that characterized the European or whites’ colonization. Blacks were discriminated and used as slaves, a situation that led them to create a social conscious framework that Europeans were born more superior to them. These dominant versions of the society beliefs proved to be very persuasive especially if Continue reading...

Acoustic guitar and drums are heard during the intro. The overall texture of the song is thin because it is the acoustic song. Drums are keeping the tempo during the song.

Gabbidon and Greene candidly and comprehensively address the factors that account for the disproportionate representation of the minority youths in the American juvenile system. They address the real issues confronting the American juvenile justice system and the American society in general. Although minority youth makeup only a third of the American juvenile population, they contribute two-thirds of the juvenile detention population. The factors that account for DMC are compound and multifaceted making it hard to resolve the issues.
Racial and ethnic stereotypes are the major factors that account for DMC. White Americans associate black Americans with hard crimes and Continue reading...

The eye under study was the owl’s eyes. Owls have forward facing eyes located on the front of the face. Owls have rather large eyes in comparison to their body weights. Depending on the species, an owl’s eyes range between one and five percent of the animal’s body weight. The owl’s eyes enable it to have a binocular vision hence seeing objects in three dimensions and can hence judge distances just as humans. The view of an owl is 110 degrees with over 70 degrees allocated to the animal’s binocular vision the rest is Continue reading...

A dental cavity in a tooth is the result of the decay process that happens over time when bacteria in the mouth produce acids. In a time, acids can dissolve enamel and cause a hole, which is known as a cavity. Unlike some other injuries, a cavity will not heal by itself and needs to be filled. Several different materials are available, and each material has advantages and disadvantages.
Dental fillings can be categorized as direct or indirect restorations. Direct restorations are fillings that get inserted into a cavity in a single visit. These substances include consisting of amalgams, Continue reading...

Abstract

All cells in a living organism require energy to drive various cellular activities such as transport of molecules and movement among others. The rate of cellular respiration may be affected by the substrate concentration, pH level and enzyme concentration among other factors. This experiment aimed to study the rate of cellular respiration in isolated mitochondria under different conditions. It was hypothesized that if the concentration of the substrate is increased then there will be an increase in the rate of cellular respiration. Mitochondrial suspension was used as the source of succinate that was used as the substrate. The level Continue reading...

Introduction

This research paper examines three commonly-used food coloring substances: annatto, cochineal and saffron. Topics addressed include the sources of the colorings (geographic and in nature), how they are used (with which foods), and how they are affected, e.g. by cooking or by acidity when used.

Annatto

Annato is a naturally-occurring dye, ranging in color from a “bright yellow to deep orange” (“What is Annatto?” n.d.). The seeds of the achiote tree – indigenous to Central and Southern America – are the source of the dye, which in those regions is not only used as food coloring but simply as a dyestuff and Continue reading...

Abstract. Oxidation of ethanol is carried out by the oxidizing agent, potassium dichromate. The oxidizing agent undergoes a color change followed by the completion of the reaction. This change of color is utilized to measure the absorbance of the solution. The concentration of the unknown ethanol sample is calculated by plotting an absorbance vs concentration graph of the standard solutions.

The rock I will be examining in this report is granite. Granite – is the most commonly spread rock in the continental crust formed by the slow cooling and solidification of magmatic melting rocks in depth. Granite can also be formed during metamorphism – under the influence of high temperature and pressure, as well as under the influence of a variety of liquids and gases (fluids), rising from the depths. Granites play a huge role in the structure of the Earth`s crust and the whole continents, since this solid rock is one of the main materials forming the outer part Continue reading...

These were Spirits and were found in Mesopotamia. They were associated with kindness and protection. The Mesopotamian Lama Deities were crafted in obedience to god Shamash, which was also popularly known as the sun god. They were made during the period 2100-2000 BC. Looking at the face, one finds a beautified face that has been made to be extremely sensitive to touch. The beard has been made to be luxurious, and this possibly suggests that the spirit was male. This is because of the beard that is a feature associated solely with males.
The body is hairy and fundamentally Continue reading...

Summary and Annotation

Summary
Richard Colyer’s article, “Thoreau’s Color Symbols” is an incisive and exhaustive elaboration of Thoreau’s utilization of color in description of natural phenomena and the innate interconnections between the discernible and the unseen (999). His imagery was grounded in the natural process of birth, development, maturity, decay and regeneration after decomposition. In spite of this, he found it problematic drawing parallels between humanity and nature. His belief, though, was that man can acquire the discipline to perceive sensual elements of nature instead of just the sensuous ones.
The main vehicles of Thoreau’s imagery were sound, Continue reading...

The rock I found was gray in color and appeared to be silky in the sun. As I checked the internet to identify the kind of rock I found, I learned that it was slate. This kind of rock is found in some garden in my neighborhood, with some used as slate gravel while others as stepping stones. Not far from my house, I saw a house with slate as its roof.
Judging by the color and texture of my rock, and the powdery grain that was left in my hands after rubbing it, I surmised that ash is Continue reading...

Light is the cause of revelation that allows us to realize very simple yet magnificent ways of nature. The main event triggered by its presence is the passing of the day into the night. While twilight is a natural phenomenon, its effect can be created through the imagination of art. Such a creation incorporates color and portrays serenity and a sense of calmness. In such an event as would be artificially influenced by structures, the lighting invokes quietness. It may be viewed I a well created structure such as the one used by James Turell to allow the viewer Continue reading...

Li-Young Lee

Thesis:
The writer uses a series of lush sensual series of contrasts to highlight his personal sense of loneliness and isolation indicating that emotions are more valuable than physical enjoyment.

Discussion:

The poem starts in the autumn garden as the writer is pulling the last young onions from the cold brown ground. The closing day flames and he glimpses a cardinal. After pulling the onions, he washes them and drinks the water flowing out from the icy metal spigot. This imagery provides a series of acute contrasts between many of the poem’s elements. Young onions have bright green tops Continue reading...

In F.W. Murnau’s Nosferatu, particularly the period of the film in which Orlok terrorizes the crew of the ship he is smuggling himself upon, the character of Count Orlok (Max Schreck) is seen to have a supernatural effect on people. By looking at this scene from both descriptive, evaluative and interpretive lenses, the editing and shot composition of the film showcases the film’s desire to show Orlok as a supernatural and hypnotic figure.

Critical thinking – Pink Summer

‘Pink Summer’ by Philip Guston is quite a great painting although at times it does seem to have lost its focus. There are several facets to it; from the way the objects are arranged around the viewing point to the strange pink colour which permeates the whole work. The immediate impression one gets is that Guston wants to convey a sense of disorder and comic portrayal; you can immediately observe the brush alongside other objects such as the ruler and the sandwich which may seem to be slightly out of place.
Philip Guston painted “Pink Summer” in 1975, which Continue reading...

High noon

Edward Hopper is one of America’s finest artists that ever lived. His work has always been dominated with lonely people either looking outside the window or seated at the café table or just standing at the door staring anxiously outside. Usually, there is no presence of any activity within the pictures. The “high noon” is one of these paintings depicting a woman standing at the door staring outside, lit by direct sunlight and surrounded by an enormous house. The skies behind the house are large and very blank. This unusual composition, displaying a house cropped off at one Continue reading...

The basic idea behind studying a painting is to be able to understand what forced the painter to paint that particular picture and the message the painter wants to convey Continue reading...

Personal Educational Experience

Learning is a process of acquiring knowledge from the society, the environment and from the formal institutions set by the government to provide a distinct platform for the people to learn. It could be realized that somehow, this particular process comes in many forms. For me, one specific process of learning that I respond effectively to is through being involved in actual experience. This is the reason why in school, I usually get interested with lessons that let me have a hands-on experience especially when it comes to realizing the practical application of the major points of lessons presented Continue reading...

Color, it is defined as the most commonly appreciated aspects of life. The fact is, it is likely the first thing that captures the eyes of a young infant as it begins specifically aware of the environment surrounding him. Through the years of learning in schools, the factors of color is often explained within the top base only; deeply defining the constructs of what makes up color is often set aside, even considered less important for the students to be interested in. However, the fact is that color is a distinct element that makes up the real value of Continue reading...

1. It is true that there is a little variation in the genetic components of humankind as can be seen from the physical features. This can be confirmed from the fact that human beings have the same shape of eyes; similar body shapes accompanied with a similar skin color. Furthermore, human beings tend to have the same hair form. Actually, the fact that the human species can identify each other by just looking is evidence enough that there is not much variation in their genes.
2. Race was used to bring out human difference because it was felt that Continue reading...
