A still life is a drawing or painting of objects arranged in a composition. Traditionally, the objects depicted had symbolic meanings representing concepts like life, death, beauty, and decay. Still life paintings use techniques like shading, value scales, and layering of foreground, mid-ground and background elements to create a sense of depth, volume and mass. In the 1800s, artists like Manet and Cezanne enhanced the mood and symbolism of still life works through loose brushwork, textures and manipulated light. Their impressionistic styles influenced later artists to portray the world in a more creative, gestural manner.

REALISM and Naturalism Art movement Presentation by Anuj Kumar MauryaAr. Anuj Kumar Maurya
Â
Realism and Naturalism are two distinct art movements that emerged in the 19th century and share some similarities but also have significant differences in their approaches to depicting the world.
Realism:
Realism, as an art movement, emerged in the mid-19th century as a response to the romanticism and idealized portrayals of the world that characterized much of the art of the time. Realist artists sought to depict the world as it is, without embellishment or idealization. They aimed to portray everyday life, ordinary people, and the social realities of the time.
Realist artists focused on accurate representation and attention to detail. They aimed to capture the physical appearance of subjects and often depicted scenes from contemporary life, including urban and rural settings, industrialization, and the working class. The subject matter of realist art encompassed a wide range of themes, including social issues, politics, and the conditions of the working class.
Prominent realist artists include Gustave Courbet, Jean-François Millet, and HonorÊ Daumier. Their works often carried a social and political commentary, reflecting the social inequalities and struggles of the time.
Naturalism:
Naturalism, also known as literary naturalism, is an offshoot of realism that emerged in the late 19th century. While it shares some characteristics with realism, naturalism places a greater emphasis on the scientific and deterministic view of the world. Naturalist artists sought to depict human beings as products of their environment and subject to natural forces and circumstances.
Naturalism often focused on the darker aspects of human existence, such as poverty, violence, and the harsh realities of life. It explored themes of survival, fate, and the influence of heredity and social conditions on individuals. Naturalist artists aimed to provide a scientific and objective representation of reality, often incorporating detailed observations and research into their work.
Prominent naturalist artists include Ădouard Manet, Ămile Zola, and Gustave Flaubert. Their works delved into the grittier aspects of society and human existence, challenging traditional moral and social conventions.
In summary, while both Realism and Naturalism emerged as reactions against romanticism and idealism, Realism focused on portraying everyday life and social realities with accuracy and detail, while Naturalism took a more scientific and deterministic approach, examining the darker aspects of human existence and emphasizing the influence of environment and heredity.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as âdistorted thinkingâ.
2. What is a still life?
⢠A still life is a drawing or painting of objects. Originally, these
objects had a symbolic meaning that represented life, death,
beauty, and decay.
⢠This has been a style of drawing and painting images since the
Classic Roman time-period.
⢠Still life images have a foreground, mid-ground, and background.
â This is the layering of objects in front of each other to create depth.
â Shading the images with types of value scales creates a sense of
volume and mass in the objects.
⢠As a whole, the image becomes dimensional and the art element of
movement is presented in the picture.
3. Brief History and Background:
⢠A still life is a display of objects that narrate an idea or create a
mood. Still life subject matter is intended to tell a story. To tell the
story, artists use objects that relate to each other or have a
symbolic meaning and apply colors and hues to help set the mood.
⢠Since the classical period in ancient Rome to the Puritan era of
early America, still life paintings were descriptive in meaning and
symbolism surrounding life, death, and eternity. In Latin terms, this
is called 'memento mori' or, translated, 'remember your mortality'.
⢠Vanitas art is a style within this art genre also known as funerary
art. This was primarily a Dutch form of art in the 1600s and was
devoted to narrating a story through symbolic imagery that focused
on life, beauty, death, and decay.
⢠This style is also referred to as funerary art and represented
humankind's mortality and painted with high contrast and dark
color schemes (chromas) .

14. STILL LIFE IN THE 1800âS
In the 1800s, French artists continued the symbolic and narrative style in the
themes of their paintings This style was best portrayed by EdouardManet and Paul
Cezanne with their loosely arranged fresh cut flowers or tables that were bountiful
with foods.
These artists began to use color and texture to increase the moodiness or
characteristics of the still life subject matter. The meaning or symbolism of still life
paintings were being enhanced with manipulated gestural brush strokes, textures,
and light qualities.
They influenced the world of painted imagery by allowing the nature of the
medium and utensils to compliment the symbolic nature of the scene. This, in turn,
was the birth of a style of painting that allowed gesture and color to produce the
illusion of space, form, and volume. Their paintings reflected a new way to see and
portray the world around them. This became known as Impressionism.
17. MODERN
Also, Giorgio Morandi (early 1900s) painted with
very low intensity and added a hazy softness to a
still life. More recently, artists, namely Wayne
Thiebaud, creatively reproduced foods that were
common and appreciated by society in a manner
that was much like the Impressionists. His style of
painting is thick with paint, loosely blended, and
rich with color and light, yet imagery is
recognizable. Through this gestural brush strokes,
intensity of colors, and varieties in contrast,
paintings seem to possess an individual life and
personality that is unique to the subject that is
rendered.
