    In recent years, the environmental state of the inner harbor’s waters has improved significantly thanks to a new invention called the Inner Harbor water wheel. Author Joshua Learn goes on to describe the practicality of the waterwheel in his article. The water wheel utilizes solar power and the strength of the tides to help cleanse the harbor. Learn says “The water wheel sits a few dozen yards from the Jones Falls Conduit and slowly pulls debris from the water. In addition, It's become a new tourist attraction in the harbor," (Learn, 2014). The waterwheel is an extremely powerful device. It is capable of pulling 50,000 pounds of trash from the harbor every day. That’s astonishing. As a result, nearly 90 tons of trash and debris now and up…

    Born in 1956 in Cheshire. Goldswothy’s father worked as a mathematics professor at the University of Leeds, it was in Leeds that he held a job as a farmer and it was then that he noticed the landscapes and picked up his passion for art. It was in his teen years that his fascination for the earth and it’s riches spurred. In 1974, Goldsworthy entered Bradford College of Art, and continued his studies in art at Preston Polytechnic. In his three years there he worked in the indoor studio but he longed to be outside. A turning point came to him when he attended a presentation by Richard Long, who influenced him greatly on starting ‘land art’. The images of Long's work inspired Goldsworthy to head to the coastline of Morecambe Bay in Lancashire, where he created his first work of natural art using the stones along the shore. When he left school in 1978 he continued to make his sculptures which were impermanent by nature, seen by few and mostly ignored by the art community. In 1985 Goldsworthy gained a measure of renown after finishing a project in the North Pole titled ‘Touching North’, which was four immense snow arches. He built a similar and more permanent set of arches near his home in 1994 which he titled ‘Heard of Arches’. Goldsworthy rarely accepts commissions, but did one for the addition to the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York City in 2003. Because much of Goldsworthy's work is impermanent, he take stunning color photographs of projects available to collectors and connoisseurs. He views his works as a mission to remind humankind of its far more impermanent nature, in comparison to the shifting landscape.…

    The further left you go until the edge of the painting the thicker the ice. On the top right their are reflections of bare leafless trees, indicating the approaching winter months. In the middle of the painting close to the top border Mark added the reflection of Monet turning a waterwheel in hopes of calming the flooding water. Mark is paying homage to Monet who has inspired his way of painting water and reflections. In many of Marks other works the use of reflection plays a large part and can be traced back to the paintings of Monet.…

    The prime focus of this piece is Mt.Hood, which is centered in the middle of the picture plane halfway up the canvas. The mountain in the piece is opaque as there are no t-intersections within it. Behind the mountain various tones of orange, red, purple, and yellow are used to create a stunning sunset. Underneath the mountain, short straight strokes of numerous shades of green, blue, orange, and purple were used to create an image of thousands and thousands of trees. Close to halfway on the canvas, the image of Mt.Hood, the sunset, and the rows of trees is reflected on the water of Trillium Lake. Tehan utilizes the same colors she used in the top half of the canvas to create the reflection on the water. Centered on the bottom of the canvas towards the left side of the piece is a railing painted using various tones of brown, black, purple, yellow, pink, and orange. Tehan's delicate use of her pallet knife allowed her to create straight geometric lines for the railing. It also allowed her to give the railing an illusory texture.…

    Like most of Neil Gaiman’s work, most of the story given through dialogue. For example, Enn don’t see that the girls at the party are alien, but he picks up the a weird vibe through his attempted conversations with him. “She said ‘We knew that it would soon be over, and so we put it all into a poem, to tell the universe who we were, and why we were here, and what we said and did and thought and dreamed and yearned for....Then we sent the poem as a pattern of flux, to wait in the heart of a star, beaming out its message in pulses and bursts and fuzzes across the electromagnetic spectrum, until the time when, on worlds a thousand sun systems distances, the pattern would be decoded and read, and it would be a poem once again.’ ‘And then what happened?’”.

    Flack led the way of photorealism, and Wheel of Fortune shows the trompe l 'oeil style. I first noticed the distinguished realism in the painting. I figured out that it was showing the life of a person that ended in an eventual death. Such examples include, the shininess of the jewels and fruit, the melting of the candle, the drops of sand in the hourglass, the skull, the calendar, and the mirror, no matter how much we may dress ourselves up and keep ourselves healthy, death still awaits and time still goes on.…

    During the Galileo’s lifetime, the use of perspective became prevalent in art, as was chiaroscuro, a style involving shading to reproduce lighting effects. Edgerton believes Galileo himself was talented with chiaroscuro, illustrated by drawings that he created of the moon. When Galileo looked at the moon, he saw the contrasting details on its surface and applied geometry and his artistic knowledge of shadows and lighting to deduce the size and shape of features on the lunar…

    The variation of colors he used created an outstanding display of nature that I never thought possible. I believe his purpose was to create imagery, an illusion to the audience, as if they were looking into the American West, through his painting. The entity of light was the key element of this painting. The form of a fine white line amid a mass of water allowed the separation of the earth and the heavens. What is intriguing about the painting is that as quickly as the earth and heaves were separated, the two joined once again at the same location. The reflection of the lake elaborated on the purity of the water and the richness of life. The contrast of dark and light colors served a great importance in his painting.…
