How does the use of special effects, fast editing, and other commercial-driven techniques work for or against your ability to ‘take it seriously’ as a horror film? Choose a scene that you were particularly engaged by and discuss what elements created your engagement.

How are contemporary artists engaging with abstraction (non-objective art) and modernism?Step 1:See these videos and take notes on these artists different views on abstraction, its legacy in the 21st century, and how abstraction can be political.Julie Mehretu,https://art21.org/watch/extended-play/julie-mehretu-politicized-landscapes-short/ (09: 54 minutes)Mark Bradford,https://art21.org/watch/art-in-the-twenty-first-century/s4/mark-bradford-in-paradox-segment/ (14 minutes, up till “the shot”(dé/collage is a term we will explore in the next class… just in case you are wondering what Bradford is talking about)Step 2:Take notes on how abstraction was interpreted in these two texts:a. Clement Greenberg and the relation of abstraction to modernism, pdf uploaded in Blackboard Module 8 (this might take some good 20 minutes to read, even though it is a single page, excerpts from a longer text…)b. Adrienne Edwards, and contemporary abstraction in relation to color black (might also take 20-30 minutes):Step 3:Go to discussion board 4, module 8Discuss the question:How are contemporary artists engaging with abstraction (non-objective art) and the legacy of modernism?As you discuss, refer to the texts read and use the artworks seen in the videos as examples, but use your own words to describe. (Practice doing formal analysis! you’ll need it for the “curate an exhibition” final project. You will do infinitely better in this class when you describe on your own).You will be graded on:- personal analysis and response to the artists’ works.- understanding of arguments in the two texts, using own words to explain them.- following instructionsNigeria

Forum assignment 5Cite from the Sources for the Cultures of the West reader any work of literature from chapters 25-29 and answer the below question in at least 150 words. Remember: proper syntax and two replies of the same length are required for full credit.Does humanity generally seek equality with one another, regardless of background, socioeconomic class, appearance, values, culture, language, religion (or lack thereof), identity, etc? Is freedom a universal value? If so, why does fighting and destruction occur at the magnitude it does? If not, what is the point of these revolutions and shift in values through history, and whom does it benefit? How does your source illustrate the “direction” civilization is headed?I will upload the readings and 2 classmates posts that you need to reply in 7-8 hours

Model 1. What we perceive as the taste of “sour” is actually our tongues detecting the presence of H+ cations. H+ cations are special cations called protons. When they are released by molecules into water they make the solution acidic, and that acidity is what we taste as “sour”. The term acid comes from the Latin acidus, meaning “sour or tart.” And it is that same Latin word that is the origin for the word acetus – more commonly known as vinegar. What is it in vinegar that creates acidity and conveys the taste of sour?Figure 8.1. Acetic acid dissociating into ions If acetic acid (the “sour taste” of vinegar) is added to water, then the carboxylic acid group will give up a proton, leaving behind an anion.Why don’t the proton and the anion just immediately recombine to make acetic acid again? Because the anion is quite stable. When the anion is stable, the acid is more acidic. To put this another way, the more stable the anion produced, the more likely the acid is to release a proton. Chemists measure how readily an acid releases a proton using a number called the pKa; the lower the pKa, the more acidic the acid and the more stable the anion produced.Table 8.1. Acids found in typical foods.Acid Structure pKa of acid Food sourceAcetic AcidVinegarCitric Acid3.15, 4.77, 5.19 Lemon juiceMalic Acid3.40, 5.11 Apple juiceLactic Acid3.88 YogurtFigure 8.2. The dissociation of malic acid into ions. Hydrogens (a) and (d) are lost as protons. De-protonation (i.e. loss of a proton) does not occur for hydrogens (b) and (c).Questions1. What is the significance of the red bond on the left of Figure 8.1 and the two red electrons on the oxygen (on the right side of the figure)?2. As shown in Table 8.1., citric, malic and lactic acids all have hydrogen atoms that are not part of carboxylic acids. Considering the information provided for malic acid in Figure 8.2, why do you think that de-protonation (i.e. removal of a proton) does not occur at positions (b) and (c)?3. In Table 8.1, why does citric acid have three pKa measurements listed, while malic acid has two and lactic and acetic acids each have one?4. Vitamin C is a molecule with a pKa of 4.1. Is Vitamin C an acid or base? Explain.
