On viewing her work, I am reminded of the traditional art of quilt making, an art once dismissed as “women’s work” but reevaluated by the Pattern and Decoration movement during the second wave of feminism during the 1970’s. Historically quilt makers have used its qualities to communicate political and social messages. For example, the Abolition quilts made during the US Civil war era were inscribed with messages decrying the evils of slavery. However, Gower uses the repetitions of the motifs and tessellations of quilt making practice to draw attention to the excesses of mass

Rhetorical analysis is looking at something such as an essay, newspaper, movie or advertisement and looking beyond the story, information and intended audience. To analyze the purpose behind what’s written or said, to discover the intended audience and why they are writing what they are writing. There are three parts of rhetorical appeal persuasion: Ethos, pathos, and logos. Ethos or an ethical appeal. This is the audience’s perspective on what the author is writing and to decide how credible it is. Who the author is and if they are credible. Pathos or pathetic appeal is the writer's attempt at connecting with the audience through experiences or examples. It is directly connected to interests and emotions of the audience.

These unconscious thoughts come from a certain part of the mind where they are ‘supressed.

The Arts and Craft movement was a social and artistic movement, which began in Britain in the second half of the nineteenth century and continued into the twentieth spreading to continental Europe and the USA. Its adherents-artists, architects, designers and Craftsmen sought to reassert the importance of and craftsmanship in all arts in the face of increasing industrialization, which they felt was sacrificing quality in the pursuit of quantity. Its supporters and practioners were united not so much by a style rather than the common goal- a desire to break down the hierarchy of the arts and to revive traditional handicrafts and make art that could be affordable to all.

There are many facts that are unknown about the mind. For centuries, philosophers and scientists have tried to understand how it works. We have learned that the mind has a number of different levels of processing. Before Sigmund Freud “nearly all the previous research and theorizing of psychologists had dealt with conscious, such as perception, memory, judgment, and learning“ (Hunt185). Freud brought forth a number of theories that dealt with “the unconscious and its crucial role in human behavior”(Hunt 185). The unconscious is a storage area for information that is not being used. It is also the home of “powerful primitive drives and forbidden wishes that constantly generated pressure on the conscious mind”(Hunt

Art is an object or piece of work that brings one pleasure. Art is also something you see or feel and you cannot even begin to describe the ways you like it or how it makes you feel. Art is something that portrays beauty and happiness. Art lets you see the world through another person’s perspective. Most art seems to tell a story about where a person has been and the things they have encountered along the way. It lets you connect with the artist and see things through their eyes. Art is a way of expressing one’s self without words. When I think of art, I think of paintings, portraits, sketches, and sculptures.

Sitting in a classroom waiting for the teacher to walk in to teach today’s lesson, you have your pen and paper ready to take notes so you can learn for the test. Whether this scenario is a grade school student, a college student, or an employee waiting for the training to start this is where explicit knowledge would take place. Explicit knowledge is the easily communicated material that you can learn in a classroom or training room. It is something you find in a textbook and can be easily transferred through written or verbal communications. A great example of this is when I started working for GEICO I spent six weeks in a training room learning the explicit knowledge necessary to do the day-to-day job of being an Insurance Agent. It was crucial information, but its not what made me a top seller, its not what made me a great analyst, its not what made me a great recruiter, and its not what made me a great supervisor. What has helped me become a successful employee at GEICO has been the tacit knowledge I have picked up through the years. Tacit knowledge is what is learned through experiences. Throughout years of being with a company you will pick up the how, what, and who. What does this mean? Well basically it means if you pay attention to your surroundings and other employees doing this you will pick up the tacit knowledge on how to be a great employee. This does not only apply to work but it applies to life as well. Learning from your

In every industry experts are needed to teach others certain skills, give advice, and use strategies to solve problems. Individuals can attain expertise by focusing on a particular skill to improve. It is said that “experts are made and not born,” so expertise is not attained in one day, but takes practice and time and individuals also attain expertise at different rates performance levels. Experts develop cognitive processes that result in their high levels of performance, “Extensive practice can develop expertise in high level skill (Anderson, 2010). Acquired knowledge and skills are needed to attain expertise. This material will discuss

Knowledge is defined to be facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education. There are two categories that fall under knowledge; personal knowledge and shared knowledge. Shared knowledge refers to what “we know because.” It can also be defined as communicated and constructed knowledge; within culture, social norms, and semiotics. Personal knowledge refers to “I know because.” An expanded definition of personal knowledge refers to personal experiences, values, and perceptions. Shared knowledge changes and evolves over time because of methods that are continuously shared. It is assembled by a group of people. Personal knowledge, on the other hand, depends crucially on the experiences of a particular individual. It is gained
