Having watched an interesting movie about the Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, and Land) Team such as Lone Survivor or any other movies about wars, has anyone of us thought about how those task force teams could deal with the “hot” situations they encounter while doing their jobs? How can they make decisions that quickly so as to survive in those circumstances? According to Malcom Gladwell, the author of Blink, human beings have an ability to make unconsciously quick decisions, which is called thin-slicing,

Driving down the 405 freeway will now be a different experience for myself. Prior to the weekend of June 11, 2017, The Getty Museum was always a mystery. There are a several things I really enjoyed about the museum. It was surprising to learn the Getty Center is free for everyone that attends. When arriving we of course had to pay for parking, which was fifteen dollars for an all day parking pass. With the parking pass, the museum allows you to leave and return once within the same day. This is ideal

naturalism is proven through the progression of the kouroi during the period. At a glance, three main features deem the Getty Kouros under the general classification of a kouros: hands, hair, and feet. The hands are clenched into fists. They

For my cultural event, I visited the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California on Thursday, December 11, 2014. I had originally planned to visit the National Museum of Art and History in Washington D.C., but I found myself in Los Angeles due to the birth of my Grandson. I attended the museum by myself. The Getty Museum was originally started in 1954 in J. Paul Getty’s home in Pacific Palisades. After Getty’s death, the Getty Trust took over the museum. The collection

Manet’s Bar at the Folies-Bergère, one of the most perplexing and mysterious paintings to exist, holds deep meaning and reflects French social life in this era. This work of art illustrates a Parisian nightclub, the Folies-Bergère, which catered to a diverse set of acts including the circus and ballet. It is here that the Barmaid works and where we see the interaction between her and the gentleman. This is where an extremely important concept of the work appears- perspective. Throughout the years

For my museum experience I went to the Getty in Los Angeles. I ended up going around noon this past Sunday on April 10th because of my awesome time management skills (I’m a huge procrastinator). I was supposed to go with Katie, Sachy, and Victoria as a group, but they’re fake so we all ended up going at different times.Victoria and Sachy had already gone to a museum over spring break so Katie and I were going to go to the Getty together but that ended up not happening because her mom is also fake

what you feel when you look at it. Walking through a museum, it’s like walking through emotions. There are so many different feelings and emotions you get depending on the work of art you’re experiencing. Both works of arts I got to experience at the Getty museum were very interesting and unique. The first work of art was A Walk at Dusk (1830-1835) by German artist Caspar David Friedrich. Its medium was oil on canvas with dimensions of 33.3 x 43.7 cm. The second work of art was Mornington Crescent with

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil (J. Paul Getty). Introduction Fracking is a complex political topic, nonetheless, is showing a positive impact to the United States economy and leaving a negative footprint behind on the environment. In addition, consumers are experiencing a significant amount of profit due to the overwhelming supplies of oil, thus, the revolution in new technology is triggering an improper fracking system. This concept centrals to airborne pollution and water

The first artwork I selected was the “Serpent Labret with Articulated Tongue”; the artist of this piece is unknown. I was looking forward to this the most because this piece was used to advertise/promote the Golden Kingdom exhibition at the Getty Museum. The picture of this piece was everywhere; it was on the wall, signs, stairs, maps, and pamphlets. Just by looking at the pictures I saw and not knowing what it was, I thought that this piece was a hair accessory, like a hairpin because of its long

often only given the ancient songs. “In Christ alone” is undoubtedly a very influential hymn to many in my generation. So, because of its personal impact on my life I have chosen to name it my favorite hymn. In the autumn of 2000, songwriter Keith Getty (Irish) and musician Stuart Townend (English) met at a worship event in England. The two soon became good friends and began to write traditional hymns together. Their work includes “How Deep the Father’s Love,” “My First Love,” and “The King of Love
