Alex Stooddard Analysis

Born and raised in Antioch, California, Alex Pardee is an up and coming artist who is breaking down many figurative aesthetic barriers. With a style molded from years of horror movies, comic books, old school gangster rap, and severe depression and anxiety, Alex’s style is simultaneously horrific and fascinating.

This New York Times article by Adam Higginbotham revolves around the well-known skeptic, James Randi, who previously held a million-dollar reward for those who could successfully prove existence of the paranormal. Higginbotham explores the life of Randi and the origins of the prize, including brief accounts of contenders for the million dollars. Throughout his life, Randi has worked to ensure that paranormal belief is not a product of misinformation and as such, he considers himself to be a scientific investigator rather than a debunker. This presents the argument that he hopes that the contenders for his prize will provide genuine evidence, but this is combated by the fact that everyone who has applied for it has failed the test. This could

There is a beam of light coming from the door along the ground and ending at what looks like the beginning of a big red tree. In this picture it looks like the little red leaf that has always symbolised hope has blossomed and the girl is smiling. This shows how through the distinctively visual you can change peoples understanding of events and moods and how over time situations can change and be healed.

Andrew Abramson reminds us that patriotism is an emotional attachment to a nation which an individual recognizes as their homeland. Abramson acknowledges that a group of NFL players had kneeled in front of the flag. Four Miami Dolphin players kneeled in front of the flag and Abramson agrees that it’s easy to say that the players shouldn’t of kneeled in front of the flag at the 9-11 anniversary. Abramson suggests that there's a disconnect and it's going to take a conversation on both sides before we can actually make change.

In the character Adam Trask in the Novel East of Eden, John Steinbeck creates a fragile son trying to impress his war obsessed father while dealing with his aggressive younger brother. As Adam’s father tries to prepare them for the army, Adam learns that he does not want to follow in his father's footsteps and does not want to face the hardship of war.

Now that I have done my research on Ms. Skoglund, I have found an irresistible urge to see her work. One thing I like the most about her artwork is that you never know what you are going to get next. Her creativity is absolutely endless. Life magazine listed her as one the world’s top 100 photographers and she has received numerous achievement awards for her continued superiority in the creative world of art. She joking stated, “I feel I’ve succeeded when a museum guard comes in and stares at my exhibitions”. I feel as though she has succeeded beyond belief and with being 54 years of age, her will and drive to create new ideas is stronger than ever. A columnist from The Cincinnati Enquirer , Owen Findsen, states it best, “Ms. Skoglud is the rarest artist who has found a voice so unique that it needs a category all it’s own.” The only thing that I would like to add to that would be that Sandy Skoglund has become a creative

Have you ever been an outcast of the popular circle? The sacred group in which you cannot tread yet you wish you could be in their ranks? In popularity by Adam Bagdasarian, a unpopular kid named Will can finally be in those ranks only to find that the popularity changes him and not for the better. One reason to show this is Will pushes other friends aside to be popular. Secondly, he wants to be friends with only the popular kids. Finally, he becomes very arrogant.

The older you get, the busier life becomes. Between classes, homework, organizations, and a social life, it's hard to appreciate what is around us and it gets harder as you get older. We don't always perceive the little things around us. We don't enjoy our surrounding, which is a shame because those little things are beautiful and can have a relaxing quality we may need in our everyday life. There are some interesting things we miss which is why I decided to do this project so people have the chance to notice breathtaking scenes without actively looking for them. Instead, they are right there ready for anyone's viewing and enjoyment.

I created a grouping of three large and small figureheads, and an umbrella-like sky (the visor). These figureheads enable viewers to sieve their thoughts and feelings as I do. Specifically, sharing the mental anxiety through shock encounters (concrete figurehead); memories of the Holocaust and traumatic circumstances. Also, the physiological response captured in an array of colors (glass figurehead) which, convey emotional responses. In addition, even though, I am a down-to-earth person, the third figurehead communicates that I also crumble like the soil (clay figurehead). The smaller figures mounted on the visor above the clay figurehead intends to give a whimsical, floating feeling to emphasize the warmth related to the feelings of compassion I hold. It is also through the colors in all the figureheads, the visor and the illumination with LED lights, and crackling effect that I project whom I am. Further, by having a visor emulate a stained glass, I created an illusion that viewers can embrace seeing society as tainted, as I do.

Another way this image could be used as a visual element is it could be put up in a training studio for figure skating as an inspiration to other young figure skaters.

I will be characterizing Alex Rider. The first word I am goign to use to desribe him is Brave. I am using the word brave because Alex went to Bangkok for a mission. Alex was also brave enough to meet up with Snakehead by himself. Alex also went to the martial arts warehouse with them and he also faught with someone. The other word that I am using to desribe Alex is determined. I am using that word because Alex is going to Snakehead to see if they might know anything about this parents or to see if he can get information from them. Alex is also searching for anyone in Bangkok who knows anything about his parents. Lastly Alex is also searching for paperwork that might lead him to who killed his parents. Those sre the words I chose to desribe

Electronic devices and technology have taken over our life, but should they be allowed in classrooms? In the past, schools have used different types of methods to gain attention of the students such as overhead projectors or video tapes on television. Some of the schools even use other devices to teach students with methods that the students are most familiar with and more likely to learn from. Many school have iPad’s, they allow kids to take home to do their homework. Even parents, at early age allow their children to use electronic devices to teach them the alphabet through songs or through other interactive games. In the current technological world, some of us might even say that we cannot live without our electrics because they are a big part of our lives.

Philosophical Playwright Tom Stoppard was born Tomás Straüssler on July 3rd, 1937 in Zlín, Czechoslovakia. He grew up in Singapore as well as in India during World War II. Stoppard’s Biological father was killed in Singapore, so instead of moving to England in the year of 1946 with his mother and Father, his stepdad had filled the hole that was left by his father. Tom Stoppard’s education took place with schools in Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire. This was where he became a journalist working for the Western Daily Press in 1954 through to 1980 as well as the Bristol Evening World in 1958 through to 1960. In 1962 Stoppard became a theatre critic for Scene magazine in London and also began writing plays for Television and Radio shows, including “The Dissolution of Dominic Boot” in 1964, “A Walk on the Water”, televised in 1963, and “The Stand-Ins”, which was later revised as “The Real Inspector Hound” in 1968. The play “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead”, which was published in 1967, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1966. This play had caught the attention of Kenneth Tynan, which brought recognition to the National Theatre. Not only was it produced at the National Theatre but it was also produced at the National in 1967 and on Broadway in 1967, winning a Tony Award for Best Play in America in 1968. In 1972, his play “Jumpers”, was staged at the National Theatre and his adaptation of Lorca's “The House of
