The document discusses and analyzes the album covers of Ed Sheeran's "+", Two Door Cinema Club's "Tourist History", and Arctic Monkeys' "Whatever People Say, That's What I'm Not".

Arctic Monkeys' cover depicts rebelliousness through smoking and looks edgy, but is also plain and does not clearly represent their music.

Art + Music: Making Connections through Experience
Visual art and music can be connected through shared experiences. Students can illustrate songs by critically analyzing lyrics, symbolically interpreting meanings, and visually representing musical components and metaphors. For example, Kandinsky's Composition #8 (1923) and Klee's Instrument for New Music (1914) show how these artists visualized music in their work.

The document analyzes and summarizes the cover art, CD, and back cover of Jason Mraz's album "we sing.we dance. We still things". The simple front cover suggests the album targets teens and twenties with its child-like drawing. In contrast, the CD interior has more random images representing the challenging messages in Mraz's songs. The back cover maintains the black and white color theme while unconventionally listing the tracks without numbers to seem less strict.
Chain Electronic Press Kit
McNeil Productions' mission is to produce plays dealing with African-American cultural and community issues that speak to their audience's experiences. They also nurture up-and-coming actors, directors, designers and technicians of color. The play Chain, written by Pearle Cleage and starring Melissa R. Jones as Rosa Jenkins, is a brutally honest exploration of drug addiction, family, religion, and personal salvation about a woman fighting to escape her life. It will show on February 8-9, 2008 at the 411 Space in New York City.

The document analyzes the cover art of the Evanescence album "Fallen". It notes that the dark color scheme suggests a serious, non-upbeat album. The front cover features the lead singer with a serious facial expression and little makeup, indicating Evanescence aims to be taken seriously rather than relying on appearance. The slouched, laying down poses of the band members on the cover further underscores Evanescence's focus on serious music over image.
Celebrity making machine - Emilie Autumn
Emilie Autumn is an artist who originally intended to be a classical violin soloist and composer but realized she needed to also use her voice to fully express herself. She taught herself digital programming to produce and record her own albums across multiple genres. Although she was previously in one of Courtney Love's bands, Autumn has achieved fame through her own talents. Her diverse music and unique Victorian-inspired style target a niche audience and show that her work has not become standardized or pseudo-individualized like many other artists.

This document summarizes and analyzes the photography, imagery, text, colors, and styles used on three different CD covers:
1) A Skrillex album cover uses a moon image to suggest the music is "out of this world". No artist photo keeps focus on the music.
2) A Michael Jackson cover effectively features his famous pose and concert photos, with colorful smoke imagery of him emerging to perform.
3) A Rihanna cover grabs attention with her seductive pose, matching her rude, in-your-face music with thin tattoo-style text and red lips/nails suggesting danger and her "rude girl" style.

The music video for Lucy Rose's song "Scar" follows the artist over a weekend as she travels between London and her family home. In the first half, shot in London, Lucy appears unhappy through dull colors and close-ups that capture her emotional performance. The second half shifts positively as she returns home where colors become vibrant. Though using simple cinematography, the video effectively conveys the song's message of wanting to be with family through its imagery and Lucy's changing demeanor depending on her location.

The photo depicts an old, run-down building on a back street in 1980s Sheffield. Graffiti covers a metal shutter, suggesting crime in the area. The alley behind the building seems unsafe. Presented in black and white, the gritty, neglected image conveys a sense of emptiness and reality rather than stylization. The band and song title in the top left corner resemble a handwritten label stuck on the photo, connecting it visually to the CD cover.

It allows mass communication of messages to the public with limited feedback in the form of social media posts.

Cholinoblockers
This document discusses cholinergic blockers, which are drugs that block the effects of acetylcholine by competitively inhibiting its binding to muscarinic receptors. It describes how these drugs can cause various effects such as dilated pupils, decreased saliva and bronchial secretions, increased heart rate, and decreased bladder contractions. Specifically, it provides details on the mechanisms, therapeutic uses, and side effects of several antimuscarinic agents (atropine, scopolamine, ipratropium, tropicamide, trihexyphenidyl) and neuromuscular blockers (atracurium, pancuronium, succinylcholine).
Cholinomimetics
This document discusses cholinergic drugs and their effects in the body. It describes two main types of cholinergic drugs: direct-acting cholinomimetics like acetylcholine and indirect-acting drugs like physostigmine and neostigmine. Direct-acting drugs mimic acetylcholine and bind nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. Indirect drugs inhibit acetylcholinesterase to increase the level and duration of acetylcholine at receptors. Side effects of cholinergic stimulation include increased salivation, sweating, lacrimation, gastrointestinal motility, urination, and bradycardia. These drugs find clinical use in glaucoma, urinary retention, and as antidotes to
