In the video, Shahzia Sikander uses fresh tea she boiled herself as a medium in her painting. This is actually a really innovative technique and a method not many traditional painters would do. Her technique takes a lot of practice since the stain needs to be distributed evenly. This requires her to be swift and accurate with her strokes in order to not create a streak or area too dark. In another one of her paintings, she is using white paint that she is building up over a period of ten years. This process takes multiple years to complete and if she is out of practice, her experience as an artist would not mean anything. This process is easy to get wrong. An example of this is she could have easily messed up her painting by using too much

In the early 1770s tea was a major form of import and trade for the British Empire. It was one of the most used consumer goods of this time. During this time in the late 1760s parliament passed a tax affected the shipment of the good. The Townshend act proposed by Charles Townshend suggested that all tea, glasses, paper, paint and lead that is imported into American colonies be taxed. The taxes on tea in Britain were remarkably high, however Americans still paid less than the British consumers did. Americans still rejected this tax on tea as tea played a role in the concept “taxation without representation” (17). To reinforce a source of revenue in the colonies the British kept the tax on tea in place (17). Regarding the role of the East India

The tea in the harem takes place in a suburb of Paris, a suburb where violence rules and desire diminishes. The book tea in the harem looks closely into the life of two characters, Pat and Majid. While reading the book we see that these two men are strictly grown around troubled cultures, drugs, and alcoholics. Throughout the book you see that their lives are fully involved around large amounts of despair, and hopelessness. The whole book is predominately wrapped around the idea of despair. Despair will cause women to start giving up their bodies and for the men to start smoking and drinking. Being that they are in the suburbs of Paris there is no way for them to escape from this massacre. Most characters in the book look to join gangs and violence as their way out of society.

There is also a striking luminosity to the painting. The man and the woman’s faces appear to slightly glow, as if you can really see the reflection of the sun beaming off of their skin. This was achieved by a complex method of applying glazes. Wood would apply a layer of oil paint, allow it to dry, and then varnish it. This tedious process would be repeated numerous times. It was a process perfected by the 16th century Venetian painter, Titian. The series of glazes seems to have created an overwhelming sense of depth and radiance within the paint.
Acidic Relations in Chemistry is the topic of this experiment. In this experiment, the scientists will be testing the strength of pH and the amount of TDS (total dissolved liquids) in both gunpowder green tea and caffeinated black coffee. The independent variables are the caffeinated beverages and the dependent variables are the pH and TDS levels of the gunpowder green tea and black coffee. The constants are the way we measure the pH and TDS of the caffeinated beverages

Oh no! The British started to tax the tea! “What!” I screamed, “they put taxes on tea? ” “Yeb!” my neighbor said. “They’ve already put taxes on paper document and sugar!” I exclaimed. “You can’t argue with the british!” my other neighbor said. That made the us colonists really angry. We gathered in courthouse quickly, we started to talk and talk. Finally, we came up with the idea that the members of sons of liberty should dump the tea. Everyone cheered. “Hooray!” Soon, midnight came, members of sons of liberty were out, dressed as Mohawk Indians. The “Mohawk indians” slowly climb up to the ship full of tea chest.
She further analyzed many artworks based on the process of toning. Though some artists paint with one layer, those that paint with multiple layers enhances the objects in the painting. The color that appears on the surface underwent multiple shades in order to obtain the desirable color. After analyzing Ship Carpenter at His Hobby, 1872, Helena’s second group approached the artwork Women Embroidering, 1904. Two differences I distinguished from the comparison of these two artworks are the time period as well as the visual context. I had paid less attention to the story behind this portrait because there was less detail. Women Embroidery, though looked unique because of its lack of details (which could have been intentional), did not have much space. Helena described it as “flat.” She infers that as time period increases, artists were becoming more focused on flatness, painting on the surface and ignoring the layers of tone and landscape space. Another artwork that we analyzed was the Back Surgery. Dating back to the 1600s, this portrait was created with underpaintings and a few touch ups. It could be inferred that the artist intended to leave the underpainting in order to bring out the procedure. On the surface lies a realistic, colored curtain that seemed to have been drawn by the audience, and staring straight at the artist/audience was the patient. With these observations, I
The art of painting dates back to pre-historic times, the finger used as a paintbrush on the canvas of cave walls. When it comes to painting, artists have many mediums to choose from: acrylics, oils, gouache, fresco, and watercolors. Watercolors is one of the toughest mediums to achieve, its transparent streaks almost impossible to cover up and its various techniques prestigous and precise, but satisfying when accomplished. The incentive a watercolor artist has to get a taste of perfecting their talents is impecable; therefore, striving for perfection can only be accomplished with the understanding of the watercolor history, the use of the tools of the trade, the practice of techniques, and observation of former artists’ approaches.
