Carlton Hobbs: Wooden Vagabonds of Northern Italy
Carlton Hobbs LLC is an antique company that supplies rare European furniture and decorative art objects from the 1600s-1800s to collectors and museums. They recently acquired a group of small 18th century wood carvings from Northern Italy depicting vagabonds. The carvings were made in Val Gardena, a valley known for its woodcarving industry. The realistic carvings often showed vagabonds holding baskets, sticks, and musical instruments like hurdy-gurdies while wearing ragged clothing. Some carvings portrayed groups of vagabonds, such as a man and woman where the man holds a hurdy-gurdy and stick and the woman carries a bundled child.

Quilting And Knitting In Pioneer Times
Quilting and knitting were important crafts for pioneers. Quilts provided warmth and their patterns told stories that were passed down through generations. Children's quilts replicated adult quilts as mothers made them out of love. Knitting began through finger knitting and evolved to use sticks and later needles and yarn. Both quilting and knitting served practical purposes like keeping families warm but also brought pioneer women together socially. While tools have modernized, many traditional patterns remain the same today.

Elizabethan England Powerpoint
The document provides an overview of various aspects of life in Elizabethan England across multiple domains:
1) Food and meals - Breakfast was light, dinner was the main meal, and supper was a light evening meal. Food was primarily fresh and seasonal, with no international foods. Social class determined diet.
2) Country life - Sheep farming increased as wool demand rose, displacing tenant farmers and causing unemployment. Some returned to growing crops like oats and wheat.
3) Education - Education was not universal or compulsory. Petty schools provided basic skills, grammar schools focused on Latin, and university was exclusively in Latin. Girls had less schooling.

Gothic Ivory Sculpture_files
Ivory carving was a popular art form from the 4th to 15th centuries, especially in Western Europe. Artists used tools like axes and chisels to sculpt ivory into religious figures, secular objects, and personal items. The most common subject was the Virgin and Mary, though ivory was also used for diptychs, caskets, chess sets, and sculptures depicting courtly love or literature. Major workshops producing ivory sculpture were located in Paris, Venice, and the Netherlands. By the 15th century, diminished economies and conflicts in Europe reduced the demand for ivory artwork.

UVCModule03.1
We consider aspects of art over time, including: ritual, decoration, assertion of power, demonstration of artistic skill.
Fall15Module3.1
Art began as ritualistic expressions used in communities to prepare for hunts and understand the natural world. It later served decorative purposes to embellish people, dwellings and objects. Art was also used to demonstrate power and status through displays of wealth and skill. While originally focused on ritual, decoration and power, art has evolved over time to include individual expressions and appreciation for form, color and other sensuous qualities. Context remains important for understanding art's original intent to communicate meaning.
Stolen Art Of The Holocaust
The document discusses how art was stolen from Jews and others by the Nazis during the Holocaust, with some pieces being found but most still lost.

Very simple: compare and contrast these two sets of stories.
· Background
Charles Perrault (1628-1703) was a member of the Académie Française and a leading intellectual of his time. Ironically, his dialogue Parallèles des anciens et des modernes(Parallels between the Ancients and the Moderns), 1688-1697, which compared the authors of antiquity unfavorably to modern writers, served as a forerunner for the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, an era that was not always receptive to tales of magic and fantasy.
Perrault published these "fairy tales" (a genre he defined, if not invented) under his son Pierre's name, certain that a serious man such as himself should not be associated with stories of this kind.
Never out-of-date, 2015 saw the release of another Cinderella film (there have been countless)
and a Google Doodle for Perrault.

England's first attempt to plant a self-sustaining colony in America was a short-lived affair. The "Cittie of
Raleigh," established in 1587 in the Outer Banks of what is now North Carolina, fared poorly in its first
months and by August the colonial governor, John White, was forced to return to England for supplies. He
never reunited with the members of what has become known as the Lost Colony, and the English would not
boast a successful settlement in America until the Jamestown colonists discovered the value of tobacco as a
commercial crop in the early 1600s. But if England's early expeditions to Virginia during the 1580s faile ...

The main purpose of museum is to neither educate nor entertain but rather to create a memory bank that would remind us of the past. Most societies in different parts of the world traced their origin through the works of arts history. All across the world there are hundreds of museums filled with history, information, shows, and famous documents. A variety of museums display interesting objects. A mix of cultures, historical events, famous people, and art work in the whole museum. Rather than having different attractions, some museums are dedicated to showing of shows based on a particular topic of history or interest for example the National Museum.
Upon going for an exhibition at one of the national museums, the experience I gained was very valuable and important on the understanding of the artworks used by the early humans . The visual experience gained during the exhibition was more appealing compared to reading of the curatorial essay about the exhibition at the museum which was entitled the The American Early Plates. The visual experience gives a visitor the chance to physically interact with artifacts especially when one can touch the artifacts. The curator essay about the exhibition in the museum had a lot of significance in understanding the artifacts used in the exhibition. The curatorial essay gave me the knowledge of understanding the origin, uses and dates of the various artifacts I visually witnessed at the museum. In general the visiting of the museum exhibit gave me a valuable experience as demonstrated.
The exhibition made me understand that a museum is an institution housing collections of objects of artistic, historic, or scientific interest and displayed for the educational and enjoyment of the public. I also noticed that Museums are places of memory that provides the link of distant past to the present generation which also help the society to know the path their forebears trod. The visit of the exhibition gave me the understanding of the artifacts in the display for example the display of an artifact referred to as the American earliest plate
The exhibition gave visitors the experience of comparing the modern American plates and those used in the early days. The exhibition gave the visitors a great chance to know the improvements the materials presented at the exhibition have undergone over time and the factors that have triggered such improvements. The visitors were also able learn history behind the making such of plates, the skills for making such plates and their relevance in those days.
In conclusion special exhibition helps one understand that museums are trustworthy, the importance of various artifacts to aid in the reconstruction of history. One is also able to compare the artifacts in museum with related objects which are currently in use. The importance of museum to hold a special exhibition for various artifacts is also understood.

Gav Spaleolithic (Pp Tminimizer)
The document provides an overview of Paleolithic and Neolithic art from 35,000-3000 BC in Europe. It describes early art as focusing on animals and nature, created using pigments on cave walls. Art served ritual purposes and reflected close relationships between humans and animals. During the Neolithic, settled farming societies emerged, and art became more functional, including pottery and woven items. Architecture advanced from simple huts to villages and ceremonial structures. Early Near Eastern sites like Jericho featured walls, towers, and plaster sculptures of ancestors. Overall, the art and culture transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherers to agricultural village life over thousands of years.

This document provides an overview of the topics of food and shelter throughout history. It discusses how early people secured food through hunting and gathering and how foods were stored and served in ancient cultures like China and Greece. Various forms of art depicting food are presented, from still lifes showing food as luxury to Zen paintings focusing on simplicity. Architectural examples of shelters through time are also examined, from ancient structures like Catal Huyuk to modern buildings like Wright's Fallingwater. Postmodern approaches to architecture aiming to incorporate the past are discussed at the end.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
