Week 7: Art Presentation
Instructions | |
Course Objective(s):
Description: A 4 page Power Point Presentation is due at the end of Week 7. Visit the APUS online library, look at the course guides and optionally use the “Ask the Librarian” resource to help you locate scholarly references. They have electronic rights to JSTOR, which is a journal storage database and other data bases.
Choose one artist or architect that is included in any week of our course lessons, readings, or other areas. In this essay, fully discuss the artist and one art sample.
It is best to choose an artist we have studied in the class, but it doesn’t have to be. Do not include any artwork that you have already written about in class. Your analysis should be 2 pages in length and cannot be a work of art we have discussed in Forums. The analysis portion of this assignment must follow the Writing a Critique format you used for your Museum Paper. Here is a summary of what you will submit for your Power Point Presentation:
DO NOT FORGET: Use your Writing a Critique Art Notes that is in your Week 1 Lesson for the analysis which includes information for description formal analysis.
Use the Required Reading Videos and Resources in Lesson Two to help you with this paper and the Museum Paper. Wikipedia note: It is an unjuried source, meaning that anyone can post there, even those who know nothing about the subject. AMU/APUS has a great library for source material. Start there.

Description: Reading and Looking
Reading Masterpieces in Art: Goya and Manet: This assignment is designed to help you master the careful reading of sources about art images and to help you apply the basic mechanics of analyzing and interpreting images appropriately.
In order to participate fully in this week’s discussion, do the following steps.
TOPIC 1.) Examine and discuss in detail Francisco de Goya’s painting, The Third of May, 1808 created in 1815-16. The original painting, which currently hangs in the Prado museum, is very large (about 10 x 14 feet), and it was painted in 1816. It depicts the invasion by the French army into Spain in the early 1800s. Examine your book for other images by Goya, in order to understand his work better. Imagine you are looking at this painting while visiting the Prado Museum in Spain. Consider what the size of the painting means or does for/to the viewer.
El Tres de Mayo, by Francisco de Goya, from Prado in Google

Description: An examination of 3-dimensional media: Sculpture and Architecture
This is a research, read, consider, think, and write exercise. You may list sources if helpful, but use your own words.
Choose one of the following to write about:
Topic 2.) Examine and discuss all of the following buildings:
– The Pantheon
– Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, The Eiffel Tower
– Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater
Architecture is often discussed in terms of 3 dimensions, as though it was large scale sculpture, but architecture always has a specific function. Architecture conveys meaning and is “read” like paintings and sculpture are “read.” Each element has a function and a meaning; therefore, buildings communicate messages to the viewer. During this Discussion, imagine yourself in the spaces while you examine it and discuss it. Include in your answer:
- Who is the architect?
- From what era and what culture is the building?
- What was its function and location?
- What are the building materials –what is it made of?
- Are there any special construction techniques used?
- Why is the building important? Be specific.

case study on Stem Cells
/in Uncategorized /by LinusRead the following case study on Stem Cells and answer the posted questions. Think about and describe your point of view on this bioethical topic and identify any biblical reference that helped shape your perspective.
Embryonic Stem Cells
Standing in the voting booth, Raina hesitated. It was November 2, 2004, and she had to make her final decision on how to vote for California Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative. Proposition 71, a $3 billion bond measure, would fund embryonic stem (ES) cell research at facilities across the state for the next ten years. Raina knew that Proposition 71 had widespread support, including that of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and several Nobel Prize-winning scientists, but she was also well aware of the controversy surrounding ES cell research.
Well before Election Day, Raina had taken the time to inform herself about the ongoing ES cell debate. She learned that ES cell lines are obtained by removing a group of cells, called the inner cell mass, from an embryo that is about five days old (also known as a blastocyst), and growing the cells in a Petri dish. The cells are prized by researchers because they are pluripotent, meaning that they have the potential to differentiate into a wide range of different types of cells if properly stimulated. Proponents of ES cell research say that such cells could be used to cure conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cystic fibrosis, and spinal cord injuries. In addition, ES cells could be studied to help scientists understand the basic processes of human development, and used to test new drugs.
ES cell research opponents say that it should be restricted because it requires the destruction of human life. Raina found this issue to be one of great concern. She learned that the ES cell lines currently used for research are obtained from embryos left over from in vitro fertilization (IVF). These embryos are voluntarily donated, and otherwise would be discarded. Raina wondered if embryos, even those so early in development, should be considered human beings. If so, then producing an excess of them for IVF and then discarding them would be wrong. Might it also be wrong to benefit from their sacrifice?
Raina had read about stem cells from other sources besides embryos. Some, known as embryonic germ cells, may be obtained from aborted or miscarried fetuses, but this source is subject to the same sort of controversy as ES cells. Some very promising results have come from research using stem cells taken from the umbilical cord and placenta, and adult tissues such as bone marrow and parts of the brain. In fact, some of these non-embryonic cells have already been used to treat medical conditions, including blood disorders, spinal cord injury and heart attack damage. Such stem cells are obtained without harming embryos or fetuses, and for this reason their use meets with few ethical objections. However, they appear to be more limited in their ability to differentiate than ES cells.
Finally, after weighing the arguments one last time, Raina cast her ballot. The next day, she learned that Proposition 71 had passed with 59% of the vote. Now it is possible that similar initiatives may appear on the ballots of other states.
Questions
- How do you think Raina voted on Proposition 71? How would you have voted? Why?
- Do you think that a five-day-old embryo should be accorded the status of a human person? If not, why not? If so, do the potential benefits of ES cell research outweigh the ethical objections? Explain.
- Should ES cell research prove fruitful, it raises the issue of a particular type of cloning known as therapeutic cloning. Therapeutic cloning would not result in the production of a new human being, but it would mean creating an embryo from which ES cells could be removed that would match the cells of a person’s own body. This would prevent the rejection of transplanted cells by the immune system of the recipient. Would you support the use of therapeutic cloning in order to produce ES cells for treatment of disease or injury? Why or why not?

Define the concept of reasonableness
/in Uncategorized /by Reb WajStep 1 Consider the case study.
After graduating from college with a degree in nursing, Andy finds a solid job, gets married, and has two sons. Twelve years later, he moves to a position at another hospital promising him steady advancement within its managerial ranks. A devoted family man, Andy admires his wife’s dedication to raising their boys. But he also observes that his sons, approaching their teen years, benefit greatly from his fatherly friendship and counsel- especially as they approach what he and his wife realize could prove to be a difficult transitional period in their upbringing. So he has made a commitment to spend plenty of time with them, playing baseball and helping with their schoolwork. But he also loves his work, and does well at it. It has become apparent that to advance rapidly up the managerial ranks at this hospital, he should obtain a graduate degree. A nearby university offers the degree in an evening-and-weekend program that would allow him to continue full-time employment, but would soak up his free time for the next several years and throw most of the family activities into his wife’s hands.
Step 2 In your original post, address the following questions relating to the dialogue.
Assume the perspective of Andy within this scenario. In keeping with Andy’s point of view, address the following:
- Define the concept of reasonableness.
- Where should Andy focus his attention? Why?
- How do you believe someone like Andy is capable of incorporating non-rational mental processes into his critical thought? How are we able to engage in this intense level of cognition?
- What rational and emotional principles are at work in your view?

In Vitro Fertilization
/in Uncategorized /by Reb WajThe purpose of this individual assignment (8-10 pgs exclusive of references and title page, double spaced, APA-7 formatting) is to assist students to develop meaningful opinions on nursing and related issues with support from the current scholarly/professional literature. Do NOT use websites or writings meant for the general public such as Mayo Clinic, WebMD, etc. Select one topic below (or choose a different one with faculty assistance). Provide the “pros and cons” of the issues involved. Do not simply write about the issue—you need to reflect on your opinions and conclusions. All topics must be submitted to approval by course faculty as per course outline. Topics are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. No more than two students may choose the same topic.

Case Study,
1. June Frankel, a 23-year-old patient, presents to the emergency department with a sports-related fracture injury to her right arm and receives a long-arm fiberglass cast. (Learning Objective 2)
- What nursing assessment should the nurse provide after the cast has been applied?
- What nursing interventions should the nurse provide?
2. Sue Newhart, a 55-year-old patient, is admitted to the medical-surgical unit after a total hip arthroplasty due to osteoarthritis. (Learning Objective 7)
- What considerations should the nurse follow when positioning the patient in bed after hip surgery?
- What nursing interventions should the nurse provide the patient?
Diversity And Health Assessments
/in Uncategorized /by Reb WajMay 2012, Alice Randall wrote an article for The New York Times on the cultural factors that encouraged black women to maintain a weight above what is considered healthy. Randall explained—from her observations and her personal experience as a black woman—that many African-American communities. And cultures consider women who are overweight to be more beautiful and desirable than women at a healthier weight. As she put it, “Many black women are fat because we want to be”
Randall’s statements sparked a great deal of controversy and debate; however, they emphasize an underlying reality in the healthcare field: different populations, cultures. And groups have diverse beliefs and practices that impact their health. Nurses and healthcare professionals should be aware of this reality and adapt their health assessment techniques and recommendations to accommodate diversity
