The document provides information about assessment objectives for a fine art course focusing on covert and obscured works. The four assessment objectives cover developing ideas through investigations informed by context, experimenting with materials and techniques, documenting ideas and insights, and presenting a meaningful personal response. The document also provides definitions of "covert" and "obscured" and suggests using the sheet to generate ideas and respond to artworks.
Painting and Arts date back to prehistoric times. Cave Paintings, Rock Carvings, Stone Calligraphy, eventually evolving into using vegetable compounds as color pigments.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

9. DANIELA GULLOTTA (b.1974)
Her work depicts large empty
interiors, often of an industrial
nature. Her intention is to draw
the viewer's attention to the
dramatic nature of space.
Sometimes individual objects
are emphasised and human
presence is always suggested
though never depicted.

10. CASPER DAVID
FRIEDERICH
A painter and draughtsman, Friedrich is
best known for his later allegorical
landscapes, which feature
contemplative figures silhouetted
against night skies, morning mists,
barren trees, and Gothic ruins. His
primary interest as an artist was the
contemplation of nature, and his often
symbolic and anti-classical work seeks
to convey the spiritual experiences of
life.

12. NINA
MURDOCH
Corridors, steps, wedges of light
and otherworldly colour, Nina
Murdoch’s paintings evoke an
uninhabited but haunting world in
which the sun and moon seem to
rise and set in chambers indoors.
Although some of these images
may in fact be street subjects, the
sense of enclosure is strong, partly
because the focus has been taken
inwards, and instead of wider
views of architecture (as appeared
in her earlier work), we are offered
broad yet confined spaces. This
contradiction goes to the heart of
her work: she engages with macro
as well as micro, with the inner
world as much as with external
reality. Her paintings were never
especially descriptive of place,
more evocative of mood, and now
they are increasingly about
emotional states.

CLAUDE
http://www.christojeanneclaude.net
Art critic David Bourdon has described Christo's wrappings as a "revelation through
concealment." To his critics Christo replies, "I am an artist, and I have to have courage ... Do
you know that I don't have any artworks that exist? They all go away when they're finished.
Only the preparatory drawings, and collages are left, giving my works an almost legendary
character. I think it takes much greater courage to create things to be gone than to create
things that will remain."
16. JOSEPH
BEUYS
Coming to terms with his involvement in the war was
a long process and figures, at least obliquely, in much
of his artwork. Beuys often said that his interest in fat
and felt as sculptural materials grew out of a wartime
experience--a plane crash in the Crimea, after which
he was rescued by nomadic Tartars who rubbed him
with fat and wrapped him in felt to heal and warm his
body. While the story appears to have little grounding
in real events (Beuys himself downplayed its
importance in a 1980 interview), its poetics are strong
enough to have made the story one of the most
enduring aspects of his mythic biography.

17. ANTHONY GORMLEY
http://www.antonygormley.com
Antony Gormley has over the past 30 years revitalised the human form in sculpture through a
radical investigation of the body as a place of memory and transformation. “I am interested
in the body”, he says, “because it is the place where emotions are most directly registered.
When you feel frightened, when you feel excited, happy, depressed somehow the body
registers it.”
19. ROBERT
RAUSCHENBERG
American painter, sculptor,
printmaker, photographer and
performance artist. While too much of
an individualist ever to be fully a part
of any movement, he acted as an
important bridge between Abstract
Expressionism and Pop art and can be
credited as one of the major
influences in the return to favour of
representational art in the USA. As
iconoclastic in his invention of new
techniques as in his wide-ranging
iconography of modern life, he
suggested new possibilities that
continued to be exploited by younger
artists throughout the latter decades
of the 20th century.

Schwitters worked in several genres and

and what came to be known as
installation art. He is most famous for his
collages, called Merz Pictures.

DIEBENKORN
Richard Diebenkorn
achieved a rare feat in the
life of an artist, which is to
approach painting from
many different angles and
to take earnest inspiration
from other artists while
maintaining originality.
Although Diebenkorn did
not reach the level of fame
of Abstract Expressionists of
the New York School, his
influence on artists of the
latter half of the twentieth
century is undeniable.

http://www.francis-bacon.com
Francis Bacon (28 October 1909 – 28
April 1992) was an Irish-born British
figurative painter known for his bold,
graphic and emotionally raw
imagery.[1] Bacon's painterly but
abstracted figures typically appear
isolated in glass or steel geometrical
cages set against flat, nondescript
backgrounds.

Giorgio Morandi (1890-1964) is not known for his
MORANDI
lines. Rather the opposite: in the hazy world of
his painted still lifes, everything appears muzzy
and soft. The famous objects appearing on the
miniature stage of his table – the bottles, bowls,
decanters and jugs – do so in something as
hazy as limelight. You would not expect to look
deep into these masterpieces of 20th-century
art and see a sharp edge, an outline or
anything as concise as a dot.

Flowers mean different things
to different people - to some
they are trophies to decorate
their dwellings (for this plastic
flowers will do as well as real
ones) - to some they are
buttonholes for their conceit -
to botanists they are species
and tabulated categories - to
bees of course they are honey
- to me they are the secret of
the cosmos.
This secret cannot be put into
image, far less into the
smallness of words - but I try to.
Their silence says to me - 'My
rootlets are moving in the dark,
in the wet, cold, damp mud -
My leaflets are moving in the
brightness of the sky - My
flowerface has seen the
darkness which cannot be
seen, and the brightness that is
too bright to see - has seen
earth to sun and sun to earth.'

29. JANET FISH
Known for large still
lifes of common
objects with bright
colors--lime green,
pink, yellow--, Janet
Fish works from a loft in
the SoHo section of
New York City and
takes pride in the fact
that she paints
"forbidden subjects,"
realistic still lifes. Her
work, expressive of her
highly independent
spirit, is a reaction
against the pure
abstraction that has
been prevalent for so
many years in the
American art world,
especially in New
York.
31. CINDY
SHERMAN
http://www.cindysherman.com
By turning the camera on herself, Cindy
Sherman has built a name as one of the
most respected photographers of the late
twentieth century. Although, the majority of
her photographs are pictures of her,
however, these photographs are most
definitely not self-portraits. Rather,
Sherman uses herself as a vehicle for
commentary on a variety of issues of the
modern world: the role of the woman, the
role of the artist and many more. It is
through these ambiguous and eclectic
photographs that Sherman has developed a
distinct signature style. Through a number
of different series of works, Sherman has
raised challenging and important questions
about the role and representation of women
in society, the media and the nature of the
creation of art.

33. AARON SISKIND
Siskind's work focuses on the
details of nature and
architecture. He presents them

image out of them, which, he
claimed, stands independent of
