1.11.6 and 2.3: I input relevant information accurately daily so that it is ready for processing. I do this by scanning in the forms we receive, after separating them into piles to group them for easy scanning. After I have scanned them all, I then use Xpress to start the processing. When I am doing so, I make sure I copy all the details accurately. This is very important, as I am dealing with personal and sensitive information received from the public. I take extra care when entering the digits, such as NI numbers or date of births. When inputting this information I am using a scanner, keyboard and mouse. I found that one reoccurring problem I had

(Francesco’s mother was Eleonora of Toledo; a portrait of her and Francesco’s brother Giovanni, also by Bronzino, is highlighted in our textbook [p. 635].) While the size of Bronzino’s Allegory may initially sound insignificant, the oil-on-copper painting is chock full of as much symbolism as his larger commissions. In fact, I underestimated the painting’s complexity, and had I discussed every possible interpretation that could be drawn from the work, I would have feasibly written a 3,000-word paper, if not more. Though, to give a brief summation of Allegory, each figure and object exhibited in the painting constitutes a personification of some virtue or vice. The central figure enthroned, for example, is a personification of Happiness, the figure for which the composition takes its name. However, the painting may also be interpreted as a tribute to Cosimo’s blissful rule over Florence and the perpetuation that is to come under Francesco, his successor. Unfortunately, I didn’t elaborate fully on Allegory’s civic meaning, though to be sure, it’s immensely

Allegory is when a writer extends symbolism to every part of a story to communicate a secondary meaning that parallels the literal meaning. A common example of allegory is “The Tortoise and the Hare.” On its surface, this is a story about a tortoise that, unexpectedly, beats a hare in a footrace, but the underlying message is that those who devote their attention to cultivating a skill surpass those who are born with natural talents. Allegory has been used for a variety purposes, but among the most common is pointing out and critiquing the flaws of society. Any metaphor that is extended throughout an entire story to communicate a meaning that is separate from the literal is allegory.

The artworks of Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, the Aegean cultures, and Ancient Greece have similarities that not only reflect objects and images, but also the media, style and representation. These countries were not always wealthy, clever, creative and powerful enough to gain supplies, but they all find a way to create art with what they had. They have all influenced on each other’s cultures and belief through their artistic values and ways, ranging from the materials and tools they use, position and representation of their monuments and their religious intent.

1.1 - Explain how legislation,frameworks,codes of practice and policies relating to positive behavior support are applied to own working practice?

There are many characteristics for online learners. My characteristics are scared, overwhelmed, and excited all in the same breath. However there are three main characteristics found in every person, entry characteristics, participation behaviors, and course outcomes. Such characteristics can be broken down into age, race, gender, and employment status. Although these are the main characteristics found in this article, I think there are much more to the characteristics to online learners then meet the eye. (British Journal of Education Vol 44

Question #1: Define classical humanism and illustrate by discussing the construction and decoration of the buildings of the Athenian acropolis. In your answer, refer specifically to the classical orders and the Parthenon’s sculptural decoration.

Ancient art is pivotal to understanding the societies they came from. The subject, the methods used, and even the materials are all indicative of the culture and environment in which the art was produced. The Stela of Iku and Mer-imat and a marble statue of Venus exemplify this very idea. Both works act as windows to the mindset of the different cultures that contributed to their establishment.

But, what makes it beneficial to learn about in educational setting? This is exactly the topic that Witt brings to the reader’s attention when she asks the question, “What, it may well be asked, can the study of the humanities do for a student at the beginning of the twenty-first century?”. People started studying the humanities for hundreds of years. But, times have changed and along with that, what is important for young people to learn has changed. 30 years ago it was not important for elementary school children to learn to type, but know it is taught in almost every elementary school. Learning to analyze the humanities is important today because it helps the student to develop their own character as they discover what peaks their interest and it increases their own self knowledge. Before studying European cultures, they may not know that their Christmas tradition of parents hiding a pickle ornament on the tree for the children to find on christmas morning is because of their German heritage or that the reason their grandmother yells about taking your shoes off before entering the house is a showing of respect in Chinese culture. Also, Witt emphasizes the importance of the idea, “judge only after attempting to understand”. This is important in many situations of life with going throughout your adult life. It also may be helpful when meeting

“Studies for the Libyan Sibyl” (1510–11) by Michelangelo Buonarroti is the study of male anatomy and is a characteristic example of Michelangelo 's late draughtsmanship, and a preparatory sketch for one of the female seers frescoed Libyan figure Sibyl, painted on the Sistine Chapel Ceiling (1508-1512) Rome, Vaticana Palace. Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian, Caprese 1475–1564 Rome) was a painter, sculptor, architect, poet, engineer as well as a compulsive drawer, of the High Italian Renaissance era, who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Michelangelo was once quoted saying “Design, which by another name is called drawing is the font and body of painting and sculpture and architecture and every other kind of painting and the root of all sciences” (Michelangelo And The Mastery Of Drawing).

During the course I realized how large of a role art plays in helping create cultures and developing and preserving the history of civilizations. I find it interesting that when there’s no written history or any historical buildings, cultures will always make their own ancient past grander than what it really is. The Israelites, the Greeks and Romans all tell stories of their history that has no written proof. It seems that we as people want to have a connection to our roots and to understand where we come from. This is why I believe that most people want to believe in a higher power.

Discuss how the social, cultural and historical context shaped the meanings communicated in the artwork.

According to Ismail Xavier, the most interesting instances of allegory are those in which the surface of the text either gives unsatisfactory answers to readers’ interrogations or remains overly enigmatic, thus including a sense of recognition of the opacity of language and mandating the search for the concealed meaning. Apart from mythical narratives, we are all familiar with fragmentary utterances, apparently interrupted messages, suggestive juxtapositions of images that would seem enigmatic or “completely illogical” If our reading was restricted to what is literally there on the surface. The prestige of allegorical exegesis derives from its claim of solving a textual problem, of an illuminating the crucial aspects of the text that are at the root of enigmas (Miller & Stam, 2008). Keeping this in mind, the researcher has gone through the usage of ‘historical allegories’ in the films selected for the study, and analyzed whether these ‘allegories’ had any influence
