Introduction This week digital field trip was a review of the artist Vincent Van Gogh. The painting of choice that was inspiring by Van Gogh is called The Starry Night painted in 1889. Content Vincent van Gogh painted Starry Night in 1889 during his stay at the asylum and used vivid colors for expression. Vincent painted this oil painting in France where it’s “plagued in the winter months by the mistral, strong winds that blow day after day out of the Alps down the Rhone River valley. The…
Van Gogh used all of the elements of art in “Starry Night”, but some call more attention to themselves than others. Line, for example is a prominent feature in this piece. Form, however must be searched for. See it? It’s hidden in the small houses tucked away under the night sky. I notice that color also dominates this piece, with strokes of blue littering the scene, with a beautiful contrast of yellow to represent stars. I see many organic shapes with the dark figure of the cypress tree, and…
At first glance of the masterpiece of Vincent van Gogh, even without the name you automatically think of night time. The first thing I notice is the tree at the right side almost reaching the top of the canvas, took me a minute to realize it was a tree because Van Gogh gave it a wavy almost flame like curve. I like this piece because its abstract and I’ve always been drawn to like the abstract expressions of art. I like the way paintings look when they don’t necessarily try and mimic reality,…

My Little Country Side My special place is in Ravia, Oklahoma, it is a small abandon chicken farm in the middle of no where. It is my special place because I went there as a child, its secluded from other people, its absolutely breath taking at sun down, and I think other people should get to see the beauty of the country side. As a child I went down to this chicken farm in Ravia, Oklahoma, to ride my four-wheeler with my step father Ernest Gilbert and my little sister Ashley Gilbert. We would…

Inglourious Basterds is a critically acclaimed historical revenge fantasy movie that uses 1944 Nazi Germany to shed light on the biased American view of World War II, following the works of Friedlander and Rosenfield. The movie uses Nazi Germany as a setting, but unlike the mainstream and kitschy Nazi Germany movies, it rewrites the history of the end of World War II, therefore posing the question of “what if?” to the audience. The movie carefully causes the audience to question themselves and…
This paper will consider the philosophical question “Did the Nazi’s have Law?” by drawing off of H.L.A Hart’s conception of law. Hart, being a positivist, believes that law and morality are conceptually separate; law is simply what undergoes the judiciary installment and is enacted by the law-making agency of a society. He concludes that morality is a statement of values which are subjective, hence the reason they can’t be compared to the law which is a statement of facts. I shall argue that the…
Following the emotion Clark makes the audience feel, Clark writes,“commissioner Roger Goodell had to address the matter before the season’s first Monday Night Football game in Washington, saying, ‘ What is it we can do to try to ensure those hits don’t occur?’” (Clark 1) Here Clark is borrowing credibility. This shows the audience what Clark has to say is credible and he is a reliable source for the information…

They were given the special treatment and, “during the season, each football player could eat once per week at Renfrow’s at no charge” (Grisham 62).…
