LAND ART Maastikukunsti mõistest Land art ehk maastikukunst on 1960-te lõpus ja 1970-te alguses esile kerkinud kunstivorm, mille algne tegevusala hõlmas peamiselt (loodus) keskkonda. Kunstiteoste loomiseks kasutatakse tihti kive, puitu, pinnast, taimi ja muid looduslike materjale. Loodud kunstiteosed on enamasti ajutised, sest nad rajatakse välialadele ja nad kestavad kuni loomuliku lagunemiseni. Maastikukunst põhineb installatsioonidel ja on tihti tihedalt seotud keskkonnaga, kuhu nad rajatakse. Kuigi oluline on teose füüsiline tajumine, näeb enamus publikust (ajalikke) töid ikkagi vaid (ajatute) fotode vahendusel. Taiesed on tihtipeale olnud suuremõõtkavalised, mis on üks kunstivoolu suhteliselt suure populaarsuse põhjuseks kunstnike seas antud kunstivorm on andnud kunstnikele võimaluse teostada suuremaid töid, kui kui üheski galeriis mugavalt eksponeerida saaks ( Wikipedia , Land art).

Maakunstil selliseid eesmärke püstitatud polnud • Maakunsti tekkel võivad olla peale kunstisiseste põhjuste arvesse tulla ka tärkav ökoloogiline teadlikkus ja moes olnud huvi salapäraste monumentide või siis “tulnukate” jälgede vastu Maakunsti olemus • Teosed on enamasti rajatud kõrvalistesse ja metsikutesse ja inimtühjadesse paikadesse • Rajati kummalisi ja ebatavalisi ehitisi • Maakunst kujundas ümber loodust ja kasutas ka loodusnähtusi • Publikule näidati töid peamiselt fotode ja filmide kaudu • Teos loodi galeriidest või avalikust ruumist väljaspool Inspiratsiooni and...
Maakunst Aleksandra Mussajeva 11klass. • Maakunst (inglise keeles land art) on 1960. aastate lõpus tekkinud kunstivorm, milles kunstilise kujundamise materjaliks on maastik. • Maakunst võib seisneda nii vaid väikeste muudatuste tegemises loodusobjektidele ja maastikele, kui käsitleda endas suuri maa-alasid ümberkujundavaid projekte. Maakunsti vormideks on näiteks pinnase ümberpaigutamine, kraavide kaevamine ja kivide kuhjamine.

Funktsionalism Funktsionalism on 1920. aastail arhitektuuris, tööstus- ja tarbekunstis tekkinud suund. Funktsionalismi rajajaks oli Sveitsist pärit arhitekt Le Corbusier, saksa arhitekt Walter Gropius ja hollandi arhitekt Jacobus Oud. Tähtsaks keskuseks oli Walter Gropiuse poolt rajatud kunstikool Bauhaus. Funktsionalismi printsiibi kohaselt peab ehitise või eseme kujundus kajastama eelkõige tema otstarvet ehk funktsiooni (sellest tuleb suuna nimigi). Seni peamisteks peetud esteetiliste iluprintsiipide kõrval said võrdselt tähtsaks tehnilised, sotsiaalsed ja majanduslikud tegurid. Hakati vältima arhitektuurseid kaunistusi, üldilmes hakkas senisest rohkem kaasa rääkima materjali värv ja faktuur. Võeti kasutusele uued materjalid (teras, terasbetoon, klaaspinnad jne) ja konstruktsioonid (nt rippkonstruktsioon). Kujunesid uued proportsioonid (peened postid, laiad aknad jne). Pärast Teist maailmasõda on funktsio...

THE PRE-RAPHAELITES The PRB was formed in 1848 in London and it was an association of painters, poets, critics, sculptors. It was founded by three Royal Academy students who wanted to brake free from the academic art and return to the moral and descriptive truthfulness that they felt was gone from art. (The Royal Academy of Arts is and institution with a purpose to promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate.). The founders were William Hunt, John Millais, Dante Rossetti. Because of the fact that they were all students they were also very young- the oldest one, Hunt, was 21.

Mille poolest vastandus 1925 esilekerkinud uus art deco stiil funktsionalistlikule stiilile? Kuigi mõlemad stiilid rõhusid tehnilisusele, oli siiski art deco stiil elegantsuse ja ilu stiil võrreldes funktsionalistliku stiiliga, kus ei olnud need omadused väga tähtsad. Dekoratiivkunst tähistas endas helgema tuleviku saabumise ootusärevust ja optimismi, vabaaegset energilist jõudeolekut ja eksootilisi riisimisvõimalusi, kõrgusse pürgivaid hooneid, ekstravagantne elevus kui ka luksuslik glamuur. Hoonete tipuosad tornikujulised, ukseavad kaunistatud ja ümbritsetud kumer-nõgusate ehisviiludega ja ?. Kohati oli tähtis ka kuldselt või metalselt läikiva kroomse kuma demonstreerimine. 3.

The Saxons & Vikings Fragmentary knowledge of England in the 5th & 6th centuries comes from the British writer Gildas, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, saints' lives, poetry, archaelogical findings and place- name studies. British landlords ruled small, unstable kingdoms and continued some Roman traditions of governance. In the mid-5th cent, Vertigern, a British leader, hired Germanic mercenaries to help defend against peoples of the north (Picts & Scots). In the end they revolted & the process of invasion and settlement began. The first Saxon ,,kings" were Hengist & Horsa in Kent, Aelle in Sussex, Cerdic / Cynric in Wessex. So the first ,,English" became mainly from Northern Germany & Denmark. The resistance of the Celts was long. They were free at the time, not like other Roman provinces on the Continent. Around 500, the Britons seem to have won several victories. One of their leaders was Ambrosius Aurelianus and one of...

Rahvusvahelises õiguse puhul formaalsetest allikatest rääkida ei saa, kuna puudub ühtne õigusloomemehhanism, mille läbinud normid saavad automaatselt õigusjõu. Kuigi osa allikate puhul on kehtima hakkamiseks vajalikud teatavad formaalsed toimingud, ei tähenda see õigusallika teket, vaid konkreetsest instrumendist õiguste ja kohustuste teket. Kehtivusulatuse alusel liigitatakse rahvusvahelise õiguse allikad üldisteks allikateks e universaalseteks ja partikulaarseteks allikateks e regionaalseteks. Esimesed on tavad ja õiguse üldpõhimõtted, mis seovad valdavat osa rahvusvahelise õiguse subjektidest. Partikulaarsed allikad on aga rahv...

12.d “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” (Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Ghandi expresses that everything starts with us, our willingness to help create the world we dream of. It is unlikely that any of us will be the next Mother Teresa but every person has hidden power to do something that benefits to the society. People´s roles are nowadays as important as the next persons, even if they think that little things are insignificant and have no effect, with enough people these small things add up and make an even bigger change that any single organization or person could ever do. To be the change we want to see in the world, people do not have to be smart, rich or well educated. They need to have a dream and commitment. The problems facing the world today are great, and it will surely take the greatness of millions if not b...
HISPAANIA RIIGIHÜMN Marcha Real ('kuninglik marss') on Hispaania riigihümn. See on üks väheseid riigihümne, millel pole sõnu. Hispaania riigihümn on üks vanemaid Euroopas. Selle päritolu pole teada. Esimest korda mainiti seda 1761. aastast pärinevas dokumendis Libro de Ordenanza de los toques militares de la Infantería Española ('Hispaania jalaväe fanfaarisignaalide määrustik'). Seda nimetati "Marcha Granadera" ('Grenaderide marss'), kuid autorit ei mainitud, sest see polnud juba siis teada. Dokumendis oli ära toodud partituur. Ammust ajast läksid kuninga grenaderid selle hümni saatel võitlusse ja defileerisid kuningliku perekonna ees. Kirjanik Hugo Kehrer väidab, et teose komponeeris Preisimaa kuningas Friedrich Suur, kuigi selle väite kasuks puuduvad tõendid. Mõned ajaloolased, sealhulgas isa Otaño, rõhutavad selle marsi ühisjooni mõningate Carlos I või Felipe II aegsete sõjaväekäiguviisidega, lähtudes hüpoteesist, et Alfonso X Targa ...

Causes: *The main cause of animal extinction, without doubt,is human demand, either for animal resources directly, or for the natural resources of the animals' habitats. *In addition to that, there are other indirect causes caused by human activities. *Habitat loss: Is considered to be the main cause for animal extinction. Humans are clearing our forests for wood and timber. The foodchain is disturbed and animals will die. *Wildlife trade: Poaching and wildlife trade are another common threat to animals. International wildlife trade has also been linked to drugs trade. The most common anilmal trade is pet trade, such as orangutangs. Animals are also killed for fur(tigers, leopards, cheetahs) *Climate change: It has been recently suggested that warmer global temperatures may be affecting animals. In fact, it has been suggested that the golden toad became extinct because of the warmer climate. The Animals *T-REX: Tyrannosaurus rex was on...

The Renaissance Between 14th and 16th century in Europe From French word rebirth It was an age of growth in Europe. New, powerful city states emerged. A new middle class had more and more money to spend. Great artists, writers and thinkers lived during this time. During the Middle Ages many people who lived in the countryside worked on the land that they got from the noblemen. In return, they were protected by them Between the middle and the end of the 14th century, the plague, also called "Black Death" killed almost half of Europe's population. It spread most rapidly in the larger cities where many people lived. This led to economic depression. When the plague slowly decreased in the 15th century, the population in Europe began to grow. A new middle class emerged --bankers, merchants and trades people had a new market for their services. People became wealthier and had more than enough money to spend. They bega...
