Abstract
This paper stressews that Monet, concentrating on scenes out of doors learned to study the light and the shadows and was noted for capturing a scene at critical moments of lighting. The author believes that this approach was perfected over the years by first sketching his scene in pencil and then quickly, using his unique short strokes, fill the painting with colors from his own impressions of the scene.

Abstract
This paper examines how social characteristics are created, defined and learned. The paper explains that when we start interacting with a stranger, we practically construct learning functions for some of his characteristics, and these functions are defined as the social impression functions. The paper points out that as long as the interaction with this person proceeds, we gain more knowledge about him, and that this knowledge is interpreted by us in the form of positive and negative rewards and the more time we interact with this person, the more accurate will be the social impression of each of his characteristics. The paper then looks at how rewards will eventually lead to a decision whether the impression function value of a specific characteristic is above or below a pre-learned behavior threshold. In conclusion, the paper shows that by evaluating social rewards correctly, it is possible to address questions such as "do people tend to better remember impressions that are derived from negative rewards?" and "do people who succeed to get more positive rewards live longer?".

From the Paper
"How do you determine whether a person is kind, intelligent or honest? Why would you reason that a person you just met can be classified to have certain characteristics? Why is someone considered to be brilliant and another one is just "relatively smart"? How long does it take to label a person according to one or several characteristics?
It can be assumed that for each individual there is a subjective definition for all characteristics that define a person. A characteristic is a social measure that quantities a continuous human behavior. Examples include "warm", "clever", "predictable", "frugal", "energetic", "strict", "introvert", "reckless", "quarrelsome", etc. Each one of us has a subjective definition for any possible characteristic. Over our life time we have developed the ability to classify other individuals (and also to classify ourselves) with certain degree of membership by comparing specific behavior patterns to a threshold value that we defined for each characteristic."

Abstract
This paper reviews an article about impression management. This concept is based on the idea that managers can attribute inaccurate characteristics to a worker based on their first impression of the person. Additionally, the paper highlights ways for managers to avoid using their impressions by incorporating effective assessments and measures to worker reviews
From the Paper
"Introduction. The article "An Examination of Impression Management Use and Effectiveness Across Assessment Center Exercises: The Role of Competency Demands" focuses on the issue of the assessment of individuals in their technical and interpersonal skills, and the impact that impression management (IM) has on these evaluation procedures. This is significant because impression management can lead the assessor to conclude information that is inaccurate and may cause false readings of the candidate presented for evaluation. In this instance the determination regarding an individual's knowledge, skills and abilities (KSAs) can be assessed incorrectly, creating a variety of complications in the selection process. "

Sunrise Hospital's Strike, 2006.
This paper discusses the nurses' strike in Sunrise Hospital protesting the workload increase and compromised patient safety.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
When one hospital closes, their patient load is absorbed elsewhere. The paper describes how Sunrise Hospital absorbed the patient load from a competitor who closed their doors. This paper reviews the current nursing strike situation due to the dramatically increased workload in light of the communicative efforts that could have prevented the strike. The paper also reviews those methods that administration can use in order to smooth the transition back to a healthier operating state when the nurses return to work.
From the Paper
"An all too common business practice took place at Sunrise Hospital. After neighboring competition closed, the existing business absorbed its competitor's clients or patient load. Unfortunately, while Sunrise's upper management might have anticipated and hoped for this from a profitability standpoint, they never alerted or made provisions among staff to handle the increased workload throughout the hospital and specifically, the increased workload among nurses. Following the unforeseen workload increase among nurses, even after incidents related to patient safety occurred and nurses complained to their management, the complaints were not forwarded to upper management or hospital administration nor were they resolved. As a result, collectively, the hospital nurses went out on strike."

This paper takes a look at the Doris Lessing story, "A Sunrise on the Veld". The author examines the use of symbolism and irony in the Lessing story, showing that death is part of living and must be experienced to mature. With many quotes from the actual text.
From the Paper
"The transition between childhood and adulthood can be very dramatic. As children we live in a fantasy world where death and tragedy cannot touch us but as we mature into adults the reality of the real world sets in. This is best portrayed in ?A Sunrise in the Veld? by Doris Lessing. The story starts with a young boy and his morning routine of an early swim and a hunt. On his hunt the boy hears a ?sound of pain? coming from a clearing, the boy goes to investigate and finds a dying buck."

Impression Management, 2007.
This paper examines Erving Goffman's theory of impression management.
724 words (approx. 2.9 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 25.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper draws upon Erving Goffman's dramaturgical approach to discuss how several groups, including athletes, college instructors, parents, physicians and politicians, engage in "impression management." The paper explains that social interactions invariably entail a sort of "performance" in which we act in accordance with the pressures exerted upon us by environment. The paper illustrates how we put on a facade in order to achieve our personal objectives.
From the Paper
"According to Goffman (1959), impression management is fundamentally about "expressive responsibility;" that is to say, it is about self-consciously crafting an exterior appearance that will not offend the sensibilities of the audience. In other words, social interaction is an act of dramaturgy in which we "perform" in accordance with the pressures exerted upon us by environment, the nature of our environment and with the goal of manufacturing "performances" that are "consonant" with our own desired goals (Barnhart, n.d.). To sum it all up, we put on a facade because we believe that doing so will enable us to gain the favor of those around us whose good will we need in order to achieve our personal objectives (like a well-dressed person speaking in proper English and with an upright posture at a job interview)."

Abstract
This story is about a girl who moves and goes to a new location, experiencing her senior year at high school in a new and strange school. It addresses problems she experiences with her friends and family, and how she finds happiness and love.
From the Paper
"No one ever said being a kid was easy. Teenagers as a whole have enough problems to deal with in their own little lives. You have boys, grades, and simply just fitting in socially can be a challenge unlike any other. Throw in the fact that you are moving into the mix, and what were once challenges of every day life are transformed into near impossible obstacles, which leave you unsure of whether you will want to see the sun rise tomorrow"

Renoir & Monet, 2001.
Describes and analyzes one painting each by Renoir and Monet. The works assessed are Renoir's "Ponts des Arts" and Monet's "The Artist's Garden.
1,125 words (approx. 4.5 pages), 0 sources, $ 39.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The paintings "Ponts des Arts" by Pierre Auguste Renoir (1865) and "The Artist's Garden" by Claude Monet (1881) depict scenes appealing to the sensibilities of the respective artists, and each places the viewer in the position of observer, much as the painter was when the work was first made. The Monet work is more involving, probably because the subject matter is more personal to the artist, this being a depiction of his own garden at Vetheuil. The site of the Renoir painting may have had import for the artist, but it is still not as personal a meaning as the garden had for Monet.
Monet was known for paintings of sun-d renched, flower filled gardens. Vetheuil was a small town on the banks of the Seine, and Monet lived there in 1881. His garden was dominated by tall sunflowers and was terraced from the house down to the river, as can ..."

Monet and Impressionism, 1985.
This paper discusses Claude Monet and the Impressionist movement and argues that while Monet's works show great variety, they consistently reflect his deepest concerns.

From the Paper
"Claude Monet was one of the most important of the artists who developed the Impressionist movement. Monet experimented with the effects of atmosphere and light, and what concerned him more and more were the techniques required to effect a direct transcription of visual sensation to the canvas. His works show a variety while also reflecting the deepest concerns of the artist in a consistent fashion:
Neither his choices of subject nor his modes of seeing, composing, and executing were accidental, nor were they dictated by a systematic theory. . . Yet, beneath the eddies in the flow of his art always lay an unswerving determination to paint truthfully the world in which he lived."

Claude Monet, 2002.
A review of some of Claude Monet's paintings, including a brief analysis of Walter Benjamin's literary work, "Illuminations".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses various paintings by artist, Claude Monet. The paper outlines Monet's methods of painting in his series of London paintings, emphasizing his various techniques and use of color. Monet's practice of painting the same scene at different times of day and in differing weather conditions, is illustrated in the paper. Walter Benjamin's literary work, "Illuminations" is presented. The paper explains Benjamin's opinions on the concept of art in general, and the issue of reproduction of original art in particular.
From the Paper
"Monet's London pictures demonstrate his ability to convey atmosphere and also show his approach to experimentation with the technical means to portray atmospheric effects. These are part of the "series" method of representing nature, a method that originated in giving attention to more and more specific weather phenomena. In a series, Monet would paint the same subject at different times of day, on subsequent days, with different atmospheric conditions, and so on, and in so doing he would observe and recreate the range of light and a variety of specific atmospheric conditions. Many of the works he painted in London show his dedication to finding a technique that will accomplish this task."

Kuroda Seiki and Claude Monet: New Methods in Composition, 2002.
Examination and comparison of Kuroda Seiki's "Withered Field (Grez)" and Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Grey Day".
3,150 words (approx. 12.6 pages), 10 sources, $ 115.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924) from Japan and Claude Monet (1840 -1926) from France are examples of artists who shared an urge for creative discovery. Both artists painted what are considered to be impressive and revolutionary paintings. In their paintings, they instilled new ways of representing reality through composition. This essay will examine Kuroda Seiki's "Withered Field (Grez)" and Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Grey Day" in order to show the similarity of their respective methods, a similarity that was radical in its time because it broke with the accepted methods of composition and attempted to reinvent the nature of artist experience and representation.

Abstract
Claude Monet and Rembrandt van Rijn are fundamentally different in their approaches to painting. This paper explores Monet's fascination with water and Rembrandt's love of chiaroscuro (the interplay of light and shadow) as well as both painter's philosophies on time - Monet often denies the existence of time altogether, whereas Rembrandt often makes the use of time an important subject matter of his work. The paper analyzes two works by Rembrandt - "Madonna of the Cat" (1654) and "A Woman Wading in a Brook" (1654) to show his use of chiaroscuro and his philosophy on time. The paper also discusses works by Monet including "La Grenouillere" (1868) and "Camille on her Deathbed", which show his fascination with water and his belief in art about art, rather than about reality.
From the Paper
"Rembrandt?s concern with experience and reality is inherent his work. In his etching of 1654 of Madonna of the Cat, he shows a scene which is full of meaning, and thus time and experience. There is a paradox in the scene itself involving the interplay of light and shadow, which is quite often the case with Rembrandt?s work. In the center of the etching, Mary is shown cradling Jesus in her arms. Traditionally, the pair is shown with a halo surrounding the fontanel. Rembrandt?s etching seems to do this, although in actuality what appears to be a halo is simply sunlight filtering though the window. In this context, he places Mary and Jesus in shadow, instead of in the light, which one would expect in a Christian scene. He suggests a more Protestant view of experience, in which shadow becomes a metaphor for ambiguity, everyday experiences, and the placing of the divine on a more human level. He suggests his belief that God is dwelling on earth among the normal, everyday people, rather than in the brilliantly lit skies of Heaven. This in and of itself is opposite from what the Greeks believed in."

Claude Monet's "Water Lily" Paintings.
This paper discusses Claude Monet's "Water Lily" paintings, which have had a major influence on contemporary artists.
4,170 words (approx. 16.7 pages), 29 sources, MLA, $ 111.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Claude Monet's "Water Lily" paintings represent plein-air painting, meaning they were painted outside the confines of the studio, which relates directly to the Impressionistic mode of thinking about art. The author points out that Claude Monet emphasized the visual experience of the sensuously immediate, producing a new kind of art from an unacknowledged, yet most commonplace, kind of visual experience called "the glance". The paper relates that these later Monet paintings are akin to the Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollack and Abstractionists like Kandinsky because, in essence, the later water lily paintings are abstract in their concentration on flow, color texture, and movement.

From the Paper
"In art historical terms Monet was the heir to a departure in style and content in 19th Century painting and was one of the instigators of the new school of French landscape painting. Monet's earlier work signals a break from the past conflict in art between line and color as the dominant aspects of painting. He also began his painting career in an atmosphere which no longer felt bound to paint from a religious and mythological basis - which had previously been seen as essential elements of artistic creation. This meant that the artist felt free to explore new and more expressive methods of artistic creation and "they no longer troubled themselves about composing pictures based on geometric principles. They continued to compose, of course, but they chose their patterns with an eye to pictorial rhythm, and were thereby led to seek out new rhythms."

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Claude Monet is widely recognized as one of the towering figures in the art world. His paintings of haystacks and the gardens at Giverny continue to attract visitors to museums all over the world. Both the subjects of his paintings and his techniques are dominant representations of the Impressionist movement. The first part of the paper looks at Monet's biography, including his early training and influences. The next part then examines Monet's role in the development of the Impressionist movement, the break from classical painting and the beginnings of modernist art. In the last section, the paper looks at how Monet's contributions to Impressionism continues to influence artists decades after his death.
From the Paper
"Despite this early success, the Salon later rejected many of Monet's later pieces. This included the massive Women in the Garden, which Monet submitted in 1866. After this rejection, Monet began to work on smaller paintings, as seen in the series of outdoor landscapes he painted with Renoir in 1869. The subject of these paintings was La Grenouillere, a fashionable bathing area along Paris' Seine River (Tucker 64). These paintings showed the beginnings of Monet's impressionist style, where daubs of fresh color were used to capture the spontaneity of the scene and the flowing water."
