How Art Works: Week 6 Classicism Case Studies: Greek and Roman Canons
The document provides an overview of classicism in Greek and Roman art. It discusses how Greek artists in the 5th-4th centuries BCE established ideals of beauty that emphasized symmetry, proportion and the human form. Key Greek sculptors like Polykleitos developed canons of proportion based on the ideal human body. The Greeks also captured perfection in their representations of gods. Roman art emulated and spread these classical ideals throughout their empire.
Pythagoras
Pythagoras was a Greek philosopher born in 570 BC on the island of Samos who greatly influenced Western thought. He believed that reality is best understood through mathematics and that the soul can achieve divine union. He made important contributions to astronomy by teaching that the Earth was spherical and located at the center of the universe, that the moon's orbit was inclined, and that Venus and the morning star were the same planet. Pythagoras also proposed the harmony of the spheres, where planetary motions produce sounds described by mathematics.
Pythagoras and Pythagorean theorem
Pythagoras was born in 570 BC in Samos, Greece. He studied in Egypt and Babylon before founding a school in Crotona, Italy around 518 BC where he taught mathematics, philosophy and developed theories on music and ethics. Pythagoras is best known for discovering the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. He died around 495 BC in Metapontum, Italy at around age 75.
Pre socratic, socrates, plato
A brief look at the Pre-Socratic philosophers as well as both Socrates and Aristotle's perception of Forms.
Early ancient philosophers
The document summarizes 10 early ancient Greek philosophers who asked rational questions about the world rather than attributing its creation to gods. It describes each philosopher chronologically from Thales, who predicted a solar eclipse, to Xenophanes, who ridiculed polytheism and believed in an eternal deity of the world. Key figures discussed include Pythagoras and his famous theorem, Parmenides who argued reality cannot come from nothing, and Empedocles who asserted the four classical elements of earth, air, fire and water.
Pre socratic
This document provides information on several pre-Socratic philosophers including Zeno of Elea, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Thales of Miletus, Pythagoras, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. It summarizes their key ideas and contributions to early philosophy and science prior to Socrates. These philosophers were among the first to attempt natural explanations for phenomena rather than relying on mythology. They engaged in metaphysical and scientific speculation about topics like the origin and nature of the physical world.

International organization membership the human return on investment
This document discusses research on why nations join international organizations (IOs). It proposes analyzing the "human return on investment" of IO membership by examining correlations between a nation's financial contributions to IOs and various measures of human well-being. The document reviews prior research on this topic and develops three hypotheses predicting positive correlations between IO contributions and indexes of economic growth, GDP per capita, human rights, and security. It outlines a framework for testing these hypotheses using data on nations' membership in structured IOs like the UN, IMF, and World Bank.

Disaster response 101
Water is the most common cause of damage to library materials. When water damage occurs, rapid response is essential to effectively recover collections. Wet materials begin distorting immediately and are at risk of mold growth. The first steps are to remove standing water, assess damage, and freeze or air dry wet items. Very wet materials should be frozen within 6-8 hours to prevent mold. Partially wet items can be air dried or interleaved with blotting materials. Proper preparation includes assigning responders, prioritizing collections, and having disaster response kits prepared.

Presentation About Present Simple
The document discusses the simple present tense in English. It outlines the basic rules for forming sentences in the simple present tense based on subject - whether it is I/you/we/they or he/she/it. It provides examples of affirmative and negative sentences as well as questions. It then prompts the reader to ask and answer questions in the simple present tense about daily activities and to write a short paragraph describing actions in pictures using simple present verbs.
PRE HISTORIC SETTLEMENTS. ASIAN STUDIES
The document summarizes the evolution of humans from early primates to modern Homo sapiens through key time periods and species. It describes early primates from 7-14 million years ago in Africa and India. Key early human species discussed include Homo habilis that used tools 2 million years ago in Kenya, Homo erectus that were the first long distance walkers between 1.8-0.1 million years ago, and Neanderthals that lived in Europe and Western Asia up to 30,000 years ago. The document also outlines the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages and transition to farming during the Neolithic period from 10,000 BC.
Tutankhamun
Tutankhamun was a pharaoh of Egypt from around 1343-1324 BC. He became king at around age 10 and ruled for approximately 9-10 years. His lavish tomb was discovered in 1922 by archaeologist Howard Carter, containing treasures and artifacts that provided insights into life during his reign. Ancient Egyptians believed in an afterlife and developed elaborate burial and mummification practices to preserve the body for its journey there. Some deaths that occurred after Tutankhamun's tomb was opened led to speculation of a "curse of the pharaohs."
The mummies
Mummies can be studied using modern techniques like radiology, MRI, CT scans, mass spectroscopy, DNA analysis and proteomics. These techniques provide valuable information about the individual's health, diseases, gender, family relationships and causes of death. X-rays of mummies have revealed dental problems, bone fractures, infections and other health issues. DNA analysis helps determine genetic relationships between mummies. Proteomics provides insights into ancient diseases and infections plaguing the individual. Overall, these studies deepen understanding of ancient lives and deaths.
Ancient Egypt Culture
Ancient Egypt had a thriving civilization along the Nile River from around 3000-2500 BC. The Egyptians built massive pyramids, including the Great Pyramids of Giza, to serve as tombs for pharaohs. Everyday life was organized around religion, with gods like Ra and rituals like mummification of the dead. The absolute monarchy was ruled by pharaohs considered divine beings, while hieroglyphics and art provided insights into Egyptian culture, mythology, and way of life.
Ancient Egypt Mummies, Tombs, And Treasures
The ancient Egyptians began burying their dead in shallow graves but later elaborated on burial practices when they discovered the sand naturally preserved bodies. They began intentionally mummifying the dead to ensure their spirit could live on after death. The elaborate mummification process involved removing organs and drying the body with salt before wrapping it in linen. The dead were also buried with supplies and offerings to aid their afterlife. Eventually, tomb robbing became common and treasures were stolen, leading to harsh punishments for thieves. Finally, mummification practices declined and some began creating "instant mummies" for remedies, until this practice was also abandoned.
Information Technology - The First Two Million Years (2019 Edition)
This the story of how we've have transmitted, stored and processed information since before we were human. Beginning with embodied knowledge, body decoration, language, myth, writing, print and eventually electronic media it explores how each era has dramatically altered the fabric of human society, the nature of consciousness, and ultimately the physical world itself. It spans the period of about 2 million years BC (roughly the discovery of fire) and goes to the late 19th century. The 20th and 21st centuries and the implications for the future will be tackled in an expanded presentation in the near future.
Top 10 most impactful events of human history
This presentation goes through a reading comprehension exercise about the most important events / inventions in human history. After each invention description there are comprehension questions.

From the beginning of time - a story of human evolution
The document summarizes the evolution of early humans from 5.6 million years ago to present day. It discusses the earliest human-like creatures known as Australopithecus that emerged around 5.6 million years ago in Africa. Over many generations, these early humans evolved into homo sapiens, learning to make tools, use language and art, and live in family and social groups. The document provides a timeline of key developments in early human evolution and migration across Africa and Europe.
247954383 history-year-by-year (1)
For most of human history, people lived as hunter-gatherers who survived by hunting wild animals and collecting edible plants. Around 200,000 years ago, modern humans emerged in Africa and eventually settled every inhabited region of the world as nomadic hunter-gatherers. Hunter-gatherers developed specialized tools like spear-throwers, bows and arrows, and fishing equipment to hunt more effectively as they followed migrating animal herds and seasonal food sources across large territories.
Early Man
This power point discusses the origins of early man and his migration. It incorporates a few YouTube videos and talking points to enhance additional data on the slides.
Serpent Bound Essay
This project aims to produce a collaborative archaeological study of Serpent Mound through both oral histories from the descendant Eastern Shawnee community and traditional archaeological methods. The project will update understandings of Serpent Mound by involving the Eastern Shawnee in archaeological work and creating a revamped museum and website to make information publicly accessible. The final products will better express the site's significance to both the public and Eastern Shawnee people.
Mighty ones of old
The document discusses stories from ancient texts and legends of giant human-like beings known as Nephilim and Giborim. It suggests that these beings were the result of angels mating with humans, and cites archaeological evidence and depictions that have been found worldwide of humans and dinosaurs co-existing. The document argues this evidence contradicts evolutionary timelines and suggests humans have lived alongside supernatural creatures.
Death socials
The document summarizes ancient beliefs about death and burial practices in several early civilizations. In Mesopotamia, the dead were feared and proper burial was important to prevent ghosts. Royal tombs contained treasures, and commoners were buried with modest goods. Ancient Egyptians mummified bodies and included possessions to aid the afterlife. Romans believed in judgment of the soul and cremated or buried bodies. Vikings buried goods with warriors and burned leaders' remains. Modern Canadian funerals include religious services, transportation to cemeteries, and memorialization of military dead.
King tut's curse
Tutankhamen was an Egyptian pharaoh who ruled from 1361 to 1352 BC. He died at age 17 and was buried in a four-chambered tomb in the Valley of the Kings near Luxor, Egypt. In 1922, British archaeologist Howard Carter discovered Tutankhamen's intact tomb, uncovering a treasure trove of riches inside, including golden coffins and a golden mask. Many involved in excavating the tomb later experienced misfortunes and early deaths, leading to speculation of a "Curse of the Pharaohs" meant to protect the ruler in the afterlife. While some events could be coincidental, the curse remains a mystery and subject of debate regarding whether it was real
WH_CH 1_ The Peopling of the World
The document provides information about human origins and early history. It discusses key events like the emergence of Homo habilis and Homo erectus in Africa around 2 million years ago. Homo erectus then migrated out of Africa into Asia and Europe. More advanced Homo sapiens developed around 200,000 years ago in Africa and also migrated worldwide. The development of culture and civilization is then outlined, from the Paleolithic era to early settlements in Mesopotamia like Ur and Jarmo during the Neolithic period. Key inventions like writing and technology allowed civilizations to emerge.
4. egyptian civilization
The document provides an overview of Egyptian civilization, describing how the Nile River valley provided fertile land and resources that allowed the Egyptians to develop one of the earliest complex societies. It explains that the annual flooding of the Nile deposited rich soil that supported agriculture, and the river also provided water, food, building materials, and transportation. The civilization was centered around the Nile River, which was considered sacred and was crucial to the development of Egyptian culture.

Egyptian
The document provides information about ancient Egyptian architecture. It discusses the geography and fertile land along the Nile River that allowed civilization to develop. It describes the government system with the pharaoh at the top. Major architectural structures included tombs like mastabas and pyramids, as well as temples and palaces. The largest and most famous structures were the pyramids located at Giza, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu. The pyramid complexes included mortuary temples, causeways, and subsidiary pyramids. The document provides details about the interior chambers and construction of the largest pyramids.
Discovering tut std 11
Tutankhamun, also known as Tut, was a teenager when he died. He was the last successor of the powerful Egyptian Pharaoh Dynasty that ruled for centuries.
