Life is full of paradoxes. Children wish they could become adults, and adults wish they were children. However, Peter Pan and his Netherland are dreamlike. As Gail Sheehy- a famous American author, lecturer, and journalist- once states, “ If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.” Maturity is complicated. Maturity is inevitable. Maturity means a lot of troubles. However, maturity is also a colorful picture of life that contains a lot of wonderful things for the

Advertisements are intended to make their audience feel remarkable if and only if they purchase what is being publicized. In 2005, Dove launched a “Real Beauty” campaign in an effort to reassure women of their physical beauty. The campaign featured women of all different shapes and sizes to connect with each body type. However, this campaign would not be advantageous to both the consumers and advertisers if the advertisers did not get their fair share. Gloria Steinem, author of “Sex, Lies, and Advertising

No one wants to stray too far from home too fast, or become and individual overnight. We want to be able to crawl back to our parents when the tough gets going. Pulling up the roots in Gail Sheehy’s Predictable Crisis of Adulthood refers to the stage after adolescence when you should be “pulling up your roots”. Your roots in this aspect, is referring to your home. We try to separate our own views of the world from our families. In the process of separating our views from our parents we normally are

are made up of clay particles that result from the alteration of parent materials. Alteration takes place by several processes: weathering, diagenesis, hydrothermal action, neo formation, and post depositional alteration. Most clay minerals are transported by air or water to areas of accumulation. Once deposited, the materials are subjected to the local conditions of accumulation (overburden) 1nd erosion which make up the geologic stress history of the materials. Thus, the existing clay soil at a site

it, I decided to surround myself with those with similar interests. While I continued through my high school education I continued taking ceramics classes, learning how to hand build, throw, and various other techniques. Being able to take a lump of clay and throwing it on a wheel to evolve into a beautiful work of art satisfied my desire to morph myself into something more than what I was. Over four years my skills built up to amassing a collection of pieces I was very proud of. The only looming issue

Issues with dating techniques Most experts cannot agree as to when exactly Sahul was colonized. Most of this debate stems from how accurate the various dating methods are, when aging archaeological evidence. One method that proves beneficial to items such as pottery is known as thermoluminescence. This is a type of procedure is used when determining the age of sedimentary crystals (Webb, 1998:749). Another technique for dating is known as radiometric dating, or 14C. Unfortunately, this technique

tile was established in the country of Denmark back in the 1920’s. Clay and concrete tile, though, has been used way before that. The Chinese seemed to have come up with it first thousands of years ago. Ancient data indicates that it was actually between 4,000 and 5,000 years back that they started using it to top off their homes. They got really creative in those times as well, making lots of different patterns and styles with the clay tiles. The information the records give isn’t that far-fetched from

Ancient Roman pottery revolutionized household pots and pans developing an arrange of table ware. The Roman art began with Etruscan-style pottery, all black, molded decorations on ceramic pieces, unlike Greek pieces which was painted on. Pottery was manufactured near where the demand for the product was for easy access. For example, areas in Southern Italy typical used black slip with a red fabric over. For identification of trade, certain inscriptions and symbols were stamped into the pieces. The

The Curriculum Project was an amazing experience to not only apply what I’ve learned in class about education to teacher, but to also reinforce my presumptive notions of my teaching abilities and help me work on the issues that I have with teaching as well. My overall goal of the class for the students was to teach them art lingo and simple ceramic techniques so they can gain a new skill and properly talk about it. My goal for myself was to practice teaching with how I explain things and give examples

The thoughts about ceramic shape’s history gave me a ground to be able to create the Conical Hat series works, and the investigation of conical hat provides the depth of my work. However, it still has lots of space for my personal concepts and understandings in this series of work. According to those studies on object and shapes, my central idea can be concluded into just one word which is “container”. I view the Conical Hat series are containers. Then, what is the container? Container is a Middle
