Abstract
This paper discusses how artists in different eras can address the same general subject and produce very different works, as can be seen by a comparison of two paintings on love, "The Pleasures of Love" by Antoine Watteau and "The Birthday by Marc Chagall". The paper attempts to show how both works, some two centuries apart in time and very far apart in terms of style, give interesting images of love and of the way love separates lovers from the world and places them in a place all their own.
From the Paper
"The Watteau was painted in 1719 and is a colorful scene showing a number of courtly persons on a wooded site, with the central group consisting of four couples, and with other couples seen off to either side. They are grouped before a statue of Venus, with Cupid hanging onto her leg. The work is one of a genre called fetes galantes, or "romantic and idealized scenes [that] depict elaborately costumed ladies and gentlemen at play in fanciful outdoor settings" (Watteau, Jean-Antoine, 2002, para. 1).

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the works of painter Marc Chagall and their significance in the history of 20th century art. It also evaluates the dominance of Clement Greenberg as a critic of the modern art movement, specifically in relation to the paintings of Marc Chagall.
From the Paper
"Modernism, as defined by Clement Greenberg, is, in its ideal form, the combination of technique and subject matter to create artwork that challenges past conventions and to create art for art's sake. According to this definition, there exist many artists that are, by their existence and work within the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, artists of Modernity who receive little attention in the study of Modernism due to the fact that they do not follow the traditional progression as described by Greenberg. It is because of this that a distinction is recognized between Modernity, the period that encompasses modern art without regard to preconceived notions of form or content, and Modernism, which has come to be dominated by Greenberg's view. One such artist who may be a victim of the dominance of Greenbergian Modernism is Marc Chagall, who's use of abstract techniques in combination with a goal of figurative or narrative illustration marks him as a mere detour in the progression of Greenberg's Modernism. Through analysis of form and content, one realizes that room must be left for interpretation in defining the highly dynamic period of the early to mid-twentieth century art world, lest the works of artists such as Chagall be ignored in the study of Modernity for their inability to be categorized by Greenburg's concept of progression."

Abstract
This paper explains that Antoine Watteau created a new art style, "fete galante," which had a major influence on the Rococo period. The author points out that the style used in the paintings "The Foursome," "Love in the Italian Theater," and "La Conversation" is classically Rococo; however, the style also is very much dictated by the iconography of the painting. The paper relates that Watteau recognized the changing French culture and created artwork that was a continuation and sophistication of Rubens's style, which drew the viewer into the picture using unique subject matter, such as an aristocrat's elegant party.
From the Paper
"Watteau's painting, "The Foursome," is not only characteristic of Rococo art in general, but the painting also depicts Italian commedia. Mezzetin, Pierrot, and two female comedians are seated and talking in a French Garden. This picture is a classic depiction by Watteau of Italian commedia. In Watteau's paintings of the Italian commedia, Pierrot is transformed once taking the stage from, "a simple, harmless, and not very intelligent peasant to a funny, hungry valet, and often frustrated in love" . However, underlying the humor was a sense of melancholy."

Marc Chagall "The Soldier Drinks", 1997.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Marc Chagall (1887-1985) was a painter, graphic artist and stage designer whose unique style never belonged to any particular twentieth century school of art but drew on many of them. Chagall's Jewish upbringing, the political status of Jews in Russia, the background of Russian folk art and the events of Russian history had an enormous impact on his work. The interest in historical events and in serious problems are not often guessed at because of the lyrical, joyous nature of Chagall's work. But Chagall, because he primarily invented his own style, drew on every possible source in the world that surrounded him. He was an artist who "absorbed the tremors which shook the world around him and translated these into his language" (Kamensky 41). Chagall's 1912 painting The Soldier Drinks was painted during his first stay in Paris, and it.."

Guillaume Francois Antoine de L?Hopital, 2005.
This paper discusses mathematician Guillaume Francois Antoine de L'Hopital, born in Paris, France in 1661.

Abstract
This paper explains that L'Hopital, who lived during the conception of modern calculus, was taught by Bernoulli; the result of this tuition was L'Hopital's "Analyse des Infiniments Petits", which became the French reference book in the calculus for a century. The author points out that L'Hopital's name is guaranteed to survive in the memories of thousands of mathematicians because of the L'Hopital rule, which is useful when dealing with indeterminate forms. The paper relates that L'Hopital created the template by which all calculus texts would be modeled and measured against for the next three hundred years. Formulas included.
From the Paper
"A natural progression from his two first works on the topic of calculus would have been a serious examination of the integral calculus. Indeed, this was a project that L'Hopital was capable of and actually began to write before his death. However, one of his contemporaries-Leibniz-made it known to L'Hopital that he also endeavored to publish a work covering the same hole in written calculus of the time. Apparently, out of respect to the mathematician who made much of his fame possible, L'Hopital abandoned the project."

From the Paper
"Nike came under higher pressure when a spot audit by an accounting firm was leaked to the press of bad labor conditions in a large Vietnamese facility that contradicted Young's positive report. On April 20, 1998, a claim was filed accusing the company of false advertisement in the county of San Francisco. The charges were that the company had falsely advertised the working conditions of its manufacturers, which abused workers, had poor working conditions, low wages, and used child labor and that it lied about its operations overseas in order to increase sales of its products . In reaction Nike executed a series of immediate changes, such as, an increase in the minimum age, higher air quality standards (OSHA), and promised to permit independent inspections of factories. Even after implementing such changes, a lawsuit was brought against the company by Mark Kasky for "making misleading statements about its global labor practices," under California statute for false advertising."

Abstract
This paper is based on the book, "Wild Minds: What Animals Really Think", by Marc D. Hauser. The book is introduced, then followed by a review and discussion of the book as it applies to this writer?s personal experiences. A summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Hauser says that animals are much like people in their quest for as much information about the world around them as possible: In one of Rudyard Kipling's charming short stories, he tells us about an elephant child with insatiable curiosity, an elephant who asked so many questions that his relatives spanked him. . . . Although animals may not be as curious as Kipling's elephant child, they are active informavores, digesting and storing relevant information in the service of guiding behavior? (3). In a footnote, Hauser adds that the term, ?informavore,? was coined to describe the ?voracity with which we seem to acquire and seek out information? (259). Since we all live in a hostile environment which is far from sterile, it just makes sense that animals and people alike will try to learn as much about their environment as possible to maximize the chances for survival. It is important for some people, for example, to know if there is a job opportunity opening up in the business next door or a bear in that cave, just as it is important to know where the pollen and nectar are for bees. No surprises there. But just how -- how do animals perceive the world around them?"

From the Paper
"Marc Reisner's book Cadillac Desert tells the story of the American West in terms of the search for water, a search that became even more intense as communities developed with a real need for water for drinking, agriculture, and other purposes. This is a battle that continues to this day, and many political animosities have developed between different parts of the West over the issue of water, where it comes from, and who gets to use it. The author notes that much of the western region is either desert or semi-desert, with vast areas containing no towns and no human inhabitants at all as well as no forests, lakes, or rivers. Certain portions of the West, on the other hand, are highly built up, notably the Southern California region, much of which seems like one large city extending down the coast. Reisner traces the history of human settlement in the West and the human..."

"Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner: An Analysis
During the last 100 years, water resource development has greatly affected the western United States. The early programs were generally dominated by engineers. The projects were often big, ambitious, and expensive. Such leaders as John Wesley Powell, William Mulholland, and Floyd Dominy often went to great lengths to accomplish their objectives. Throughout the 20th century, their work sustained considerable economic growth. More recently, water resource development advocates have had to reconcile with the environmentalists. The overall result of this interaction has been a shift in priorities. Rather than resource development, future water projects could emphasize the management and efficient utilization of supplies.
Driving across the United States, the landscape gradually.."

"Introduction
This research will examine Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert: The American West and Its Disappearing Water. The research will set forth the political, historical, and economic context for Reisner's examination of water-related development and usage and then discuss the strategy Reisner uses to develop his ideas about the dire consequences to the West's economic and social infrastructure of continuing to exploit and pollute its nonrenewable water resources in the same way as in the past. The combination of poor water management, overdrawing of ground water from the major western aquifers, and a more general attitude that the resource would always be available has created a crisis whose consequences have not been sufficiently understood either by policy makers or by the American population as a whole."

Baroque and Rococo Art, 2006.
This paper compares and contrasts the stylistic and ideological content in Baroque and Rococo art.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that by examining the Baroque work of Carracci, Caravaggio and the contrasting work of Rococo artist, Antoine Watteau, one can see how they are compared and contrasted in art history. The paper discusses how the earlier Baroque style offered a painting technique which relied on dynamic chiaroscuro and color values, along with the greater emphasis on gigantism in the heroic poses offered by Caravaggio and Carracci. The paper notes that while the Baroque period lasted for nearly one hundred years, the changing climate of political and class based construct in painting veered into the pomp and circumstance of the French elite in the 18th century.
From the Paper
"This art study will compare and contrast the stylistics of Baroque and Rococo art. Although these two styles appear to be similar in their artistic painting techniques, the ideological content value of Baroque and Rococo art is very different. In many ways, Baroque will be examined for the humanistic and classical values in various paintings of this period. However, as art veered away from this strict Grecian content style, the highly dramatic and theatrically elitist "art for arts sake" arose within Rococo paintings. In essence, the initial classicism of Baroque art that sought deeper meaning in classical themes changed into a far more dramatic based on pomp and extravagance. The Baroque period is generally known to have begun in 1600 with major painters such as Caravaggio and Carracci creating classical styled paintings."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the evolution of baroque art into the Rococo style of the 18th century. The paper examines the Baroque works of Annabale Carracci and Caravaggio and contrasts them to the work of Rococo artist Antoine Watteau. The paper shows how art evolved into a style that reflected government and new political ideologies in the Age of Diversity.
From the Paper
"The Rococo period as logically been constructed through the humanism and classical values instilled within the Baroque period. The rococo period in Europe reflects the ideological aims of visual art, which became manifest during the time of Voltaire, Rousseau and the American Revolution. Although the American visual arts did not reflect the extravagance of the monarchical pomp of the French courts, it is clear that Rousseau and Voltaire were struggling for a new type of liberation in within what might be called "the Age of Diversity". To truly understand the innovations in style for the Rococo period, one must evaluate the reasons why this form of visual design became realized in the 18th century. Certainly, the Baroque period was a continuation of the logic and reasoning that was instilled in the Age of Enlightenment--via classical design and visual art representations. In this manner, the Baroque period must be compared and contrasted with Rococo art to realize the impact of the highly stylized visual arts that emerged within the 18th century."

Abstract
This essay discusses the importance and function of illustrations in children's books. The essay focuses specifically on the books "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak and "The Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery and discusses the ways that the illustrations found in these books encourage literacy in children.
From the Paper
"People need stories and books to help them make sense of their world, and children are no exception. Reading children's literature can be a wonderful way for parents and children to share feelings, concerns, and emotions. Illustrations in children's books are visual representations that help children explore their physical environment. The stories of children's literature can be communicated through both words and pictures, and can be realized in either their visual or their verbal forms. Children can 'read' the illustrations and understand the story either on their own or as a parent reads the words aloud."
