    Top Ten Most Influential People

    Top Ten Most Influential People Samantha Wall Ten - Mansa Musa I ● Ruler of the Mali Empire (1312 - 1337) ● Controlled territories rich in copper and gold ● Brought back scholars and architects from his pilgrimage to Mecca who built mosque and universities ● Army around 100,000 men helped him double the territory of Mali (second in size to the Mongol Empire at that time) Mansa Musa is ten because I wasn’t convinced that he did much to influence those after him. Most only know him for being the richest man and giving gold to the poor. Nine - Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) ● Italian polymath of the Renaissance ● Painted the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper ● Had groundbreaking studies on optics and perspective ● Fused science and art to create works that become part of humanity’s story ● He designed helicopter screw and things for flying machines Da Vinci is ninth because his work is still being studied today. Whether it‘s his paintings or his machine designs. He’s one of the most known painters of his time. Eight - Joan of Arc (1412-1431) ● Peasant girl living in medieval France ● Believed that God had chosen her to lead France to victory in its long-running war with England ● Joan was captured by Anglo-Burgundian forces, tried for witchcraft and heresy and burned at the stake ● Symbol of French unity and nationalism ● Known as the Maid of Orléans Joan of Arc is eight because she helped win the Hundred Years War. She was able to accomplish so much even though she was only nineteen.

CYPRUS Received 19 June 2017 ▪ Revised 15 September 2017 ▪ Accepted 8 October 2017 ABSTRACT In visual art education, researchers has to be aware that it is necessary to explore the position of an image, within the time period’s cultural, sociological, technological conditions that effect the image, in order to achieve a full understanding of that very image or visual composition. In that sense, setting a sample study that mirrors “how and under which effects a sign changes throughout time?” is worth investigating. The aim of this study is to explore the traces of symbolic existence of peripheral circumstances in a visual composition and as well as reflect that the composition is structured by these circumstances. In that sense, a brief review of the history of woman image has been chosen to set a sample study to search for the above mentioned dynamic. In order to trace the links in between meaning making and meaning reading processes, with the basic assumption that any sign’s meaning differs according to its position among surrounding signs “woman image” offers continuity of existence throughout history which constitutes the bases for a comparative research. Continuity, in comparative analysis of an image may constitute a solid base in order to increase the level of cognation of students in the field of visual arts.

Touching the Void: The museological implications of theft on public art collections Jillian Seaton Ph.D. University of Edinburgh 2014 Abstract Of central importance to this thesis is the way security measures contradict the process through which museums have been seeking to divest themselves of theoretical hierarchies and value judgments in recent years. A context for investigation is established that considers how a perceptible increase in art theft, complicated by the escalating value of individual objects and the proliferation of museums as represented by a rise in attendance figures has produced a climate of vulnerability for arts collections around the world. In response, museums are installing unprecedented levels of security that are having a significant impact on established viewing conditions and redefining museum space. Further hindering this situation is the disparity between the fields of museology and museum security.

    Justice in Ancient Mesopotamia Zchapter ONE JUSTICE in ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA

    Justice in Ancient Mesopotamia zCHAPTER ONE JUSTICE IN ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA Introduction Any study of justice in the Bible must begin with ancient Mesopotamia be- cause the concept and the vocabulary of biblical justice are rooted in that culture. To uncover these roots, this chapter will explore justice in ancient Mesopotamia from the Sumerian culture to the Neo-Babylonian. Although the scope of this chapter seems ambitious, its purpose is limited. The structure of judicial power and the general administration of justice in these cultures will not be treated here.1 This chapter restricts itself rather to the analysis of certain aspects of justice: the problem of the poor and the oppressed, the action of the government in response to them, and the reflection of such a problem in popu- lar piety.2 The concept of justice in ancient Mesopotamia embraces a broader meaning than our concepts of commutative, distributive, or social justice. It is not enough for the governor to promulgate good laws and supervise the keeping of these laws; in order for justice to have its place in the Mesopotamian world, he must also issue decrees of mercy that allow the restoration of a destabilized equality. This chapter studies the texts in chronological order. After an overview of early social and economic development in ancient Mesopotamia, it analyzes the first of social reforms undertaken there. It then goes on to consider the various Mesopotamian law codes, the decrees of mercy (“justice”), and the religious texts that reflect the situation facing the underclasses of Mesopotamia.3 1 For a study of the characteristic structures of judicial power as well as the adminis- tration of justice in general within the societies of ancient Mesopotamia, see Hans J.

Through the art that she both commissioned and purchased, she developed an identity as powerful politically, nurturing, educated, fashionable, and Italianate. Through this patronage, Caroline became influential on stylish, female patronage in both Italy and France. Caroline purchased and commissioned works from artists such as Jean-August-Domonique Ingres, François Gérard, Elizabeth Vigée LeBrun, Antonio Canova and other lesser-known artists of the nineteenth century.
