As stated in the previous paragraph‚ The Gift is a symbol of destruction and irrationality. The focal point of the sculpture is the set of brass tacks lined up in the center of the iron; these dangerous components transform the work into a weapon and‚ in turn‚ a representation of war. By stripping the iron of its purpose‚ Man Ray creates a simply worthless and impractical item; this parallels

the tenth most valuable metal in the world. One of the metals for the experiment was zinc. Zinc oxide is a common zinc compound that forms when metallic zinc is exposed to air. Zinc also has many alloys. One of the many alloys zinc has is brass. Like zinc brass dose not rust. It slightly loses its color sometimes‚ but it can regain it by being washed. The process of making zinc has a name. It is called Galvanization. Galvanization is when an object is put into corrosion‚ and is given a coating of

Tyler Martin Advanced Orchestration Symphony no. 5 in C minor Beethoven’s intent behind this piece is creating diversity out of unity. The unifying idea of the work is a series of three short notes followed by one long note. The diversity of the simple unifying idea therein is generated by the use of timbral development techniques and expansion of the orchestra; however‚ there are several performance practices and technical issues that impact the work’s total realization. The score referenced

On May 7th‚ I went to see the musical‚ Urinetown‚ at the Lake Country Playhouse. The play was split into two acts consisting of music and lyrics written by Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis. The premise of the show is that a long drought caused a water shortage which made private toilets a thing of the past. Public restrooms controlled are by a corporation called “Urine Good Company” (UGC) and people have to pay to use amenities. The show opens with a 4th wall break from Officer Lockstock‚ a policeman

of Four Metals Conclusion In this lab we studied the densities of four different metals using a caliper‚ a digital scale‚ and a calculator. Three metals were pure elements like copper‚ iron‚ and aluminum. The fourth metal was an alloy which was brass. The purposes of this lab were to demonstrate that different metal elements have different densities‚ and that alloys have densities somewhere between those elements that compose them. We also calculated the percent errors between the actual densities
