From afar Georges Seurat’s Study for A Sunday on la Grande Jatte looks like a painting that uses lines to outline and give detail to every person and object. However, as you zoom closer to the painting you see that lines were not used but rather points of various colors were meshed together so that they can blend in to the perspective of the viewer. This famous technique that contrasts pigments was known as pointillism, but George Seurat called it divisionism where he separates color into small portions placed side by side forming an intricate…

He also pursued the discovery that complementary colors can optically mix to yield far more vivid tones of color that can be achieved by mixing paint. He created other ambitious paintings but none can compare to it, because he used a completely different technique called “divisionism” but later known as “pointillism” which emphasizes on painting small dots of pure color to form an image on canvas.…

Georges Seurat’s most commemorated painting, A Sunday on La Grande Jatte-1884, deemed him the father of Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism. As a French post-impressionist artist, he was noted for his innovative style and painting techniques. Seurat’s artistic personality was very disparate when compared to his counterparts of the post-impressionist era. Other artists of that time period, such as Paul Cézanne or Henri Rousseau painted what may be considered more traditional art at that time, using the set standard of blending colors on canvas, rather than through optical illusions. Georges Seurat possessed qualities that were usually deemed incompatible with the creativity needed in art.…
The issue I chose to write about is health and the significant impact that it has on millions across the world in our society. In relation to the environment, there are certain types of health risks that can play a major part such as: cancer, mortality, certain disabilities, and how all of these things are managed on a consistent basis. These environmental issues affect everyone, not just one particular person or type of group amongst us all. For this reason alone, it is imperative to bring light to each individual situation and develop some sort of change to create a basic balance throughout the world. There are many causes that make these issues prevalent such as toxins that pollute…
Every line and a dot of color make his paintings not only unique, but it gives them something special. The way the movements flow and how harmony roams free. It’s not just a Pointillism painting, it’s skeptical science. According to Seurat himself, “Painting is the art of hollowing a surface.” This means that when Georges Seurat paints, he does it to distinguish a theme found in life. The colors and lines that Georges Seurat uses give an ambiance which describes the painting, and the theme it’s describing. Georges Seurat once wrote in a letter, “I know very well that a line, independent of its representational role, has an appraisable abstract value.” Everything in Georges Seurat’s paintings is there for a reason. Each object fits another proportionally one way or another. The way Seurat played with color theories and the way he involves science in his painting demonstrates how an artist can show scientific skepticism in art. Georges Seurat combines art and science in his works proportionally as one would think impossible. Even though Georges Seurat is not really a scientist, the way he worked colors and lines is a milestone when art converged with science. Georges Seurat didn’t just paint for a pretty picture. Seurat wanted to give the audience the understanding that life is full of meanings, and it can come from just about anywhere or…

His collections of self-portraits place him among the most productive self- portraitists of all time. These portraits not only marked changes in his painting technique but also a reflection of his psychological world. The painting “Self Portrait with Pipe” was painted in 1886, before Vincent moved to Paris. This is the typical kind of Vincent 's earlier painting style, using melancholy colors, which are characteristic of traditional Dutch painting. In 1887, Vincent was trying to use Pointillism for his “Self Portrait”. Pointillism is a painting technique which was created by the artist Georges Seurat. However, Vincent failed at imitating “ Seurat 's patient and analytical approach to the technique” ( The History in Self Portraits). Another self portrait of Vincent Van Gogh is “ Self Portrait with a Gray Felt Hat”. This portrait showed that he reached the peak of his new painting technique. He also applied brush strokes of different contrast colors such as blues, oranges, yellow, white, lilac, sky blue, and green.…
Colney and Pitts is a pharmaceutical company that is located in California. Colney and Pitts are planning to set up a manufacturing plant near the Aberdares mountain range in the eastern highlands of Kenya. Their main purpose is to use this facility to manufacture medications for prostate cancer. Located in the Aberdares Mountain is a native tribe called The Kikuyu. After much research and extensive surveying of the area, it was determined that a type of evergreen tree known as “pygeum” or prunus Africana, is used by the tribes people to cure what they refer to as “old men’s disease”. We would commonly know this as prostatitis and genitourinary disorders. “The species has been over-exploited and is becoming rare in most areas” (Nonjinge, 2006). After putting together a plan of what they want to accomplish, Colney and Pitts have budgeted $250,000 to start developmental activities in the region. However, they estimate that the amount of money that can be made by selling the prunus Africana over the counter, will estimate about 220 million dollars a year.…
Ecological assessment are extremely important in knowing how an ecosystem works and how works in the world surrounding it. Agencies around the world conduct ecological assessments to find out how an ecosystem functions and how it is structures in order to know how to manage the ecosystem and the things that are inhabiting it. By doing an ecological assessment at Kent State I hope to learn more about how the ecosystems here work, since Kent State is my new home. With these results that I get from doing this assessment I hope to be able to see how areas on campus differ and how they are structured differently along with how they need to be taken care of, compared to the areas surrounding the campus. The ecological assessment that I conducted…
He liked to put small dots of colors near each other, thinking they would blend when observed farther away to make “true mixtures of colored light.” This theory of his didn't quite work out as well as he thought, but it really depended on the viewer. Like most others, he used warm colors to show a cheerful tone, and cool colors to show sadness. In his piece A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, each person in different light shows the emotions the colors correspond with. In the foreground of the painting, the figures are in the shade, with blue-green tones, and are all shown in a more melancholic state. Meanwhile, in the middle ground there are figures in the sunlight, bathing in brighter, yellow-orange colors. These figures appeared to be more active and happy, for example, the girl running in the park. Seurat liked to contrast his colors and this was apparent in A Sunday on La Grande Jatte, for one, with the obvious differences of lighting between the foreground, middle ground, and background parts of the…
There are many theories out there about how children develop and what influences them to do so the way they do. One theory, created by Urie Bronfenbrenner, is called the Ecological Systems Theory. His belief was that the environment affected the way a person develops. The environment is split into five levels: the microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem, macrosystem, and chronosystem. This theory explains why we might behave differently at home than when we are at work (Arnett, 2015). In this essay, I will talk about how the microsystem and macrosystem has influenced me. Also, I will describe a scenario in my future job where I might use the Ecological Systems Theory.…
