Expressionism developed in Northern Europe around 1905 as an artistic movement that emphasized inner experiences over realistic portrayals. Key characteristics included heightened symbolic colors and exaggerated imagery exploring darker aspects of human psychology. In Germany, the group Die Brücke was formed in Dresden in 1905 with the goal of using their art to serve the future by embracing Nietzsche's philosophy. They were influenced by Gothic architecture, Japanese prints, Munch, Van Gogh and sought to shake bourgeois culture through emotive use of color and subjects like crime and prostitution scenes depicted intuitively. Their work featured intense personal subjects through pure contrasting colors and rough drawing styles.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. The European Context -Expressionism
• In the north of Europe, the Fauves' celebration of colour was
pushed to new emotional and psychological depths.
Expressionism, as it was generally known, developed almost
simultaneously in different countries from about 1905.
• Characterized by heightened, symbolic colours and
exaggerated imagery, it was German Expressionism in
particular that tended to dwell on the darker, sinister aspects of
the human psyche.
• Movement that emphasizes the expression of inner experience
rather than solely realistic portrayal, seeking to depict not
objective reality but the subjective emotions and responses that
objects and events arouse in the artist.
• In a broader sense Expressionism is one of the main currents
of art in the later 19th and the 20th centuries, and its qualities
of highly subjective, personal, spontaneous self-expression are
typical of a wide range of modern artists and art movements.
3. The Historical Context –Expressionism
Expressionism can also be seen as a permanent
tendency in Germanic and Nordic art from at
least the European Middle Ages, particularly in
times of social change or spiritual crisis, and in
this sense it forms the converse of the
rationalist and classicizing tendencies of Italy
and later of France.

5. Matthias Grünewald, (1475-1528).
• Highly regarded figure from the
German Renaissance. Known for the
visionary character of his work, with its expressive
colour and line.
• He rejected the classicism of the Renaissance
ushered in for the expressiveness he became known
for.
6. This type of scene is one that
tended to preoccupy Grünewald.
We can see in this work the
expressive and brutal reality that
appealed to the Die Brucke
artists. The tormented

reality that his world throws at
him.

generally regarded as the greatest
German Renaissance artist.
Vast body of work includes

numerous portraits and self-portraits,

9. Gothic Art
Expressionist artists,
especially Die Brucke
artists, were influenced
by Gothic architecture.
They were interested in
the elongated, drawn-
out features of this time.
10. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) Norweigan
• Norwegian painter and printmaker
whose intense, evocative treatment
of psychological and emotional
themes was a major influence on
the development of German
Expressionism.
• Was his country's greatest artist.
His work often included the
symbolic portrayal of such themes
as misery, sickness, and death.
11. Edvard Munch, Puberty 1895
• Based around a strong horizontal and a vertical.
• The shadow creates a scene that heightens the frail, unsafe
and insecure nature of the naked girl.
• Lewd air of suggestiveness erased by the ominous shadow
and sense of tender frailness.
• Dark oversized shadow is thought to be a metaphor
expressive of the remembered past and the death Munch
experienced in his own family.
• It also suggests the menace of the future that lies beyond
the youthful years.
• We can perceive in her wide open eyes and the crossing of
her arms over her body an awakening of sexuality and a
sense of being at the mercy of the
unknown…fear/sexuality.
12. Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893;
Casein/waxed crayon and tempera on paper (cardboard), 91 x 73.5 cm
13. Edvard Munch, The Scream, 1893
• His most famous work, a study of existential anguish.
• A key idea to sum up this work is that we see the fear and
loneliness of a man in a natural setting which, far from
offering any kind of consolation, picks up the scream and
echoes it into the bay beyond.
• Skeleton like head suggests death.
• Wavy lines, like Van Gogh, suggest emotional instability.
• This is also evident in the surroundings which suggests a
fear of being engulfed in further pain and hostility.
15. Die Brücke
• From Dresden around 1905, the group was formed
by four architecture students (Kirchner, Heckel,
Bleyl, Schmidt-Rottluff).
• Wanted their art to serve as a bride to the art of the
future, especially in regards to Nietzsche’s
philosophy.
• Interested in Japanese prints because of the
strange viewpoints exhibited.
• Interested in shaking bourgeois German culture
out of it complacency through their use of colour
and subject matter.
16. Germany and Colonialism
• As Germany was not unified until 1871, colonisation
was stunted when compared to countries like France,
England, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
• When they finally got to colonising they were only able
to gain parts of Africa (Cameroons and Togo,
Namibia, Riwanda, Burundi) and the South Pacific
(Samoa, New Guinea, Mariana Islands, and Nauru)
• This fuelled their interest in Primitivism (angular faces
with pointed chins, full lips, exaggerated gestures and
poses, lack of concern with proportions, and nudity.
