Please discuss whether do you agree or disagree with the claim made by Massimo Vignelli that there really were only one or two typefaces. The rest was just pollution.  (This assignment is a One-page journal writing, so use first-person point of view)

discuss the fundamentals of design and how they are beneficial to visualizing data. Examine and elaborate on the fundamentals as it relates to minimizing distraction and time to insight. Consider tabular reports as well as charts and give screenshot examples where you feel it appropriate

Using paints (watercolors and a piece of paper will be the cheapest), create an Impressionistic sunrise or sunset. The examples below are the sun over the water, but you can choose whatever scene you would like. Focus on the colors and the light shown from the sun reflecting on whatever your scene and the short brushstrokes employed by the Impressionists. Once you have made your painting, take a picture and upload it in your Word or Google doc assignment. You must also write a statement explaining what materials you used. Then answer the following questions. 1. Were the Impressionists concerned more with the subject matter or the formal elements? 2. What are the pros and cons of the following painting techniques: watercolor, oil, acrylic? 3. Have you ever painted before? Did you enjoy this painting project? Why or why not? As to do the art work and answer questions *Upload the doc or pdf file to this assignment and submit. Please do NOT upload the written assignment and picture separately.*

This assignment asks you to explore the socio-economic, political, technological and cultural conditions that explain the rise of commercial radio and TV broadcasting in the U.S. Watch the documentary “Empire of the Air” and, please write an essay (500-750 words) discussing: 1) Three economic, political, regulatory or technological factors that explain the rise of radio broadcasting as a commercial enterprise in the U.S., and 2) provide a relevant conclusion on what you learn through this documentary about the development of radio technology as a mass media in the 20th century: what was intriguing and illuminating about this case study for you? What is the main takeaway or idea you learned?

Directions: Each student will choose a chemical element to research. No two students can choose the same element. Each student will research his or her chosen element and answer the 18 questions below. The information obtained by these questions will be presented to the class and the instructor via a typed Essay and PowerPoint presentation. The Essay must be a complete 3 FULL pages long typed, double spaced, 12 point font and “Times New Roman” The PowerPoint presentation must be 10 slides minimum; must include images of the element, uses, and compounds. Be creative!!! Students may record themselves and send the audio file or write a typed script for each slide the choice is yours.

watch video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG8iaAFAM58&t=2097s Write a 500-word paper reflecting on the film and the important questions that it raises. Below is a list of discussion points that you may choose to cover in your paper.     *One of the biggest questions surrounding Exit Through the Gift Shop is whether the movie is fact or fiction. Did Banksy stage the whole affair to make a statement about the commercialization of street art, or is the monster born out of Thierry Guetta real? Whether it is real or not, both sides of the argument make for compelling discussion. The fact that Thierry never truly understood the meaning behind what street artists (or any artists for that matter) makes a powerful point to both side of the augment. *Do you think the film is a real documentary of a mockumentary?  What statements about art do both make? *Is posting a form repeatedly a form of artistic expression or does it become a brand or a logo for self-promotion? (Consider the McDonald’s arches vs. the Mona Lisa) *What is more important the art or the making of the art? *Many street artists are showcased in this film. What would you say they are trying to get across to the public with their graffiti/art? *Do you consider graffiti to be art/an art form or vandalism? Why? *Does the cost of a piece of art speak to the worth of a piece of art? *What role does marketing play in the success of a piece of art and they’re for the success of an artist. *What is more important: the artistic statement of a piece or the marketing/recognition of a piece of art? *What is the importance of a piece of art that is never seen? *Can you find the same depth in outsider art or graffiti art that you can find in art done by a trained artist? *What role or influence has outsider art played in your life? *What does this film say about art as a commodity?  What is your opinion of art as a commodity?

Pick Six pieces of music from the Romantic period and write a paragraph about each.  Your paragraph needs to include the answers to the following questions.  (You can find listening examples within the presentations and the text)  All answers need to be in well thought out paragraphs with complete sentences. You may not copy and paste information. 1. Name the piece and the composer. 2. What is the genre?(Opera, Symphony, Lied, Oratorio, Concerto, Parlor Song, Piano Piece, Program Music, Ballet etc…….) 3. Give a description of the music. Describe what you are hearing.  Things to consider are instrumentation, vocals, texture, dynamics, overall contour etc……(no wrong answers just put what you are hearing) 4. What is your overall opinion of the piece. EXAMPLE: 1 Name of piece and questions answered 2. Name of piece and questions answered 3. Name of piece and questions answered  and so on….

**prompt** “What needs to change within the funeral home industry, in your view? Does there need to be more competition in order to bring prices down? If a family thought about these issues now, do you believe they’d be better able to make responsible decisions when the time comes? How so?”

The Classic Theatre has decided to hold a Gothic Film Festival and they have asked you to provide a film review of your favourite “scary movie” to showcase on opening night. Write a critical review arguing why the movie “Hereditary” directed by Ari Aster should be the main film of the festival.

Module 4 – Discussion: Chemical Equation Checklist Manage Discussion This is a graded discussion: 100 points possible due Nov 15 Module 4 – Discussion: Chemical Equation Checklist No unread replies. No replies. Module 4 Discussion: Chemical Equation Checklist With the application of hydraulic fracturing techniques, the availability of natural gas has skyrocketed, while the cost plummeted. Some coal-fired power plants are retrofitting for natural gas. Most new plants in planning and construction within the U.S. are designed for natural gas. Large fleet vehicles like buses and garbage collection trucks are being manufactured to run on natural gas. There are many angles that you can evaluate the environmental impacts of a fuel, including the environmental footprint of procurement, processing requirements, and spill or accidental release hazards. Let’s explore the potential combustion products: If natural gas, CH4, burns with an excess of oxygen, it forms carbon dioxide and water vapor. If it burns with limited oxygen, carbon monoxide and water vapor are products. If there is severely limited oxygen, elemental carbon (soot) and water vapor are products.  Consider: When you balance a chemical equation “by inspection,” there are steps you should follow. For this discussion assignment, you will develop a checklist for this inspection to apply to balancing the three combustion equations for natural gas described above. Your checklist should: Be bulleted, short action items. Start with writing the proper chemical formulas based on chemical name and end with a properly balanced equation (proper coefficients and subscripts). There are a few numbered lists available on the Internet. You are expected to custom-tailor a list, though you can certainly use other lists as guides if you cite your sources. Your reply posts should fall into two or more of the following categories: Identify the best aspects from checklists of your peers; discuss how you will incorporate their contributions into your checklist. Identify flaws in checklists of your peers (gently, please) and suggest edits. Discuss how you used your checklist in your homework/quiz. (Did it help? Did you still get the question wrong? Did using the checklist prompt you to edit your checklist to make it even better for future use?)
