Title: “Exploring a Sculpture: Formal and Iconographic Analysis of the Museum of Modern Art’s Permanent Collection”
Visit the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern art online and choose a Sculpture, observe and do research on it. Answer the following as a paper form. SCULPTURE
1. Identification on museum label:
–What is title or subject?
–When and where was it made?
–What medium was used?
2. Subject matter:
–What is shown?
–Does subject come from Pre-Christianity or 60AD, Post-Christianity or 60AD,Old or New Testament, from 500 BC Greece classical literature, from the lives of the Post-Christian saints, Renaissance 15&16th centuries literature, everyday life?
3. Formal analysis:
–Technical means: carved from stone (what kind?), wood? Molded in clay and then cast in bronze or glazed? Welded metal? Construction in mixed media? Assemblage in wood or metal?
–Volumes: what kind of three-dimensional masses or forms are basic to the sculpture: geometric (conic, cubic, pyramidal), or irregular (jagged, smooth, organic)? How are these forms organized? Larger at top smaller at bottom, symmetrically?
–Line: does work have an open or closed silhouette? Does statue have extremities open or closed? Are the lines around the figure or on its surface? What is the relationship between linear and volumetric elements? (Is it 2:1, 3:1, etc.)?
–Space: how open is the form or how contained? To what degree does the figure displace space? Do the forms and space interpenetrate? Is the piece a relief, which creates the illusion of space within it (2D)? Is the sculpture frontal? Does it turn in space? Was it meant to be seen from one point of view only, or from many? Is figure finished on all sides?
–Color: is color or gilding added to the sculpture? Is the color of the material have special importance? Does the color have a thematic significance? Does it have a descriptive (true to life), expressive or subjective function?
–Light: has the artist considered the effect of light upon his work? Are the forms arranged so that a particular effect of light and shade will be attained? Shiny figures deflect light, dull surfaces absorb it.
–Material and form: are some of the forms inherent to the carving or modeling process?
4. Iconographic analysis:
–Is the subject treated the same way in several contemporary works? Check gallery with works of same period to see this.
–Has a tradition been constant or varied over time? Check galleries with works from period before and after to see this.
–Is the subject new or is the treatment of an old subject new?
5. Function:
–Was the work part of a larger decorative program?
–Was it intended for public or private viewing?
–How might the function have affected the form?
6. Content:
–How do the subject, theme, form convey ideas, values, sentiments, perceptions of artist?
–What does the work of art say about the period and culture in which it was created? -
“The Future of Nursing Informatics: Embracing Emerging Technologies and Building a Foundation of Knowledge”
If new lessons are going to be remembered and bring long-term value, effort must be taken to reflect on the experiences one has had, evaluate them in terms of whether they were positive or not, consider what one might do to alter future activities and behaviors as a result, and do concrete things to bring about real change.
The previous seven modules have laid the foundation for understanding the current state of the science in nursing informatics. This final module focuses on the future of nursing informatics, challenging students to think of what will or could be, and how their current practice setting and nursing informatics applications could evolve or develop over time. Students will learn about the power of informatics tools to develop a professional ePortfolio and to help network with other professionals to build and share professional knowledge. Finally, this module concludes by reintegrating the Foundation of Knowledge model as we look toward the future of nursing informatics.
This module explored some of the merging technologies that are in both general use and in use and development within health care. The prospect that emerging technologies may create more problems than they solve was considered. However, by having an awareness of likely and possible technological developments nurses can assess what impact they might have on the ways in which we work and live. This module addressed web-based electronic portfolios as both a social networking and professional networking tool.
Finally, the four key areas of the Foundation of Knowledge model were considered. The critical challenges for the future lie within identifying which emerging technologies will best provide the usable tools that nurses will need to manage the coming knowledge “explosion” as more information becomes available to support diagnosis, treatment, and care.
**Note: You will not have access to the Signature Assignment without first submitting the Proctored Assessment, including a verified identification and receiving confirmation from your instructor with a satisfactory grade for Module 7. You must complete this requirement to pass the course.

Title: Exploring Conversations with People Who Hate Me
Module 4: Conversations with People who Hate Me
Discussion
This is a discussion that I believe is very important to interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, and public speaking. Dylan Marron has a podcast called “Conversations with People Who Hate Me”. I’d like you to pick one to listen to and give a summary of the conversation and then tell us how the conversation you picked fits into the course. As you navigate his page please note the transcripts are at the top and access to Spotify and Apple podcasts, etc, are toward the bottom of the page. I am fine if you use transcripts for the assignment – I prefer using transcripts myself.
Part of the reason I want us to do this is that I heard Dylan speak and he made a comment that really stuck with me. He said something along the lines of the only way we discuss difference is through the word debate and that we are really bad at talking about our differences so I’d like us to see what we find in his podcasts.
For context here is a recent interview with NPR.
The initial Post is due Thursday -
Artificial Food Coloring and Mutation Introduction Food is an essential part of our daily lives, providing us with the necessary nutrients and energy to sustain our bodies. However, with the increasing demand for processed and packaged food, artificial food coloring has become a common
Genotoxicology Assignment: Artificial food coloring and Mutation
Your assignment is to write a two-page report (single-spaced, NOT including the list of
references; skip one line between paragraphs) on some aspect of genotoxicology, for which you
cite at least 10 references obtained from PubMed. It should have a story that needs a theme or a common thread that ties it all together. I have attached a short report on genotoxicology in a specific occupation;
please use it as a guide.
Written report
The intent of this assignment is threefold:
(a) to acquaint you with the site, Pub Med, which is an abstract service sponsored by the
National Library of Medicine;
(b) to demonstrate the usage of genotoxicity assays to protect us from chemical and physical
agents, in the workplace, in the environment, and in foods, that may adversely affect our
genes and chromosomes. Some of these assays (e.g., Ames assay; Allium assay;
chromosomal aberrations, mitotic aberrations, aneuploidy, & polyploidy; micronucleus
assay; sister chromatid exchange; comet assay) were discussed in laboratory or in lecture;
you are not limited to these assays. Cancer risks and reproductive hazards also fall within
the realm of genotoxic risks and are suitable; and
(c) to show the correct way to cite science research publications. Please follow the format
in the sample essay.
In your report, if you decide to include other genotoxicity tests, you must – in one or two
sentences – define the purpose of that assay. For example, “cell transformation assay” – this test
evaluates the abilities of chemical or physical agents to change normal, healthy cells into
populations of neoplastic cells. Transformation is usually monitored by the cells changing from
substratum-dependent growth to anchorage-independent growth.
Enter the PubMed site http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi and search your topic with the focus on hazards to genes or to chromosomes.
NOTE: In-text citations (i.e., citations within the report itsels):
When citing a source within the text –
If one author, then last name and year
If two authors, cite both last names
If more than three authors, cite the last name of the first author followed by et al. [which
means, “and others’] and the year
When citing the genus and species name of an organism, you need to use italics,
for example, Salmonella typhimurium; terms such as et al., in vivo, in vitro, in utero, and
in situ also require italics.
NOTE: Bibliography (References):
When citing scientific journal articles in the bibliography:
Last name, initials (complete first and middle names are seldom used), year, title of the
article, journal (usually, abbreviated), volume (usually, the issue number is omitted),
and first and last page of the article.
In science publications, usually all authors are listed; however, in some journals, the
initial three authors are listed followed by “et al.,”. Either format can be used.
.
When citing from Internet sources:
Basic format: name of author, year, title of the work, the day that source was retrieved, and web
address of the source. -

You will be scored on how objectively and thoroughly you present the research, how well you sequence the information and connect the resources, and whether or not it is easily understood. Please refer to the scoring rubric. You should also have your sources well-represented in the paper, i.e., do not have your paper use primarily one source throughout and include a minimal amount of information from the other sources.
Points are also based on meeting the following requirements: a title page for your paper, thesis statement is underlined in the introduction paragraph, four pages presenting research, and one page with your response to the research. The response to the research page provides you with an opportunity to use personal examples that support, or contradict, the research, as well as include your personal opinion about the research. Nowhere else in the paper should the reader be able to infer your personal opinion.
You will have six (6) double-spaced pages in all including the References page.
References
You should have at least six references in your paper. Your seventh page will be your References page.No more than three of the references may be websites; at least three references must be books or academic journal articles (articles located online are not considered to be websites). Note – journal articles are not blogs or news articles. You may not have more than one personal interview, and the information from the interview should correspond with your research. I do not recommend interviewing anyone for this assignment. You should never interview a minor without consent. These research methods are outside of the scope of this class.
In addition to having a References page at the end of your paper, you will also need to cite your sources throughout the paper using APA citation style. Each of the sources on your reference page should have an in-text citation.
Structure
As future teachers, you will be the role model for your students in the proper use of English, both orally and in writing. Therefore, your paper will be viewed carefully for errors in grammar (including subject-verb agreement and sentence structure), capitalization, punctuation, and spelling. The References page will also be examined for errors in structure. I highly recommend that you use spelling and grammar check and have someone proofread your paper before you submit it. This will allow you to correct errors and make certain your information is presented clearly. A large amount of errors can interfere with the readability of your paper and will adversely impact your score on this assignment.
