IMPRESSIONISM Tutvustus ◦Sai alguse 1860. aastatel ◦Nimi Claude Monet' maali „Impressioon. Tõusev päike“ („Impression, soleil levant“) järgi. ◦1874 aasta kevadel korraldasid impressionistid esimese oma näituse. ◦Sõna "impressionism" laskis käibele kunstikriitik Louis Leroy ◦1880-ndaist aastaist hakkas impressionism mõjutama teiste maade kunstnikke. Tunnused ◦Kasutasid ettesegatud värve. ◦Püüdsid nimelt jäädvustada hetkelisi muljeid ◦Töötasid vabas õhus ◦Maalisid ka inimeste argielust – kujutasid oma piltidel esimesena kaasaegset suurlinna ◦Maalide teemaks valiti vähetähtsad sündmused (loodus, kaasaja linna olustik). ◦Impressionistide tehnikad ja standardid olid erinevad (kunstivoolu hoidis koos mässu- ja sõltumatuse vaim). ◦Ühte objekti võidi maalida päevas mitu korda. Tunnused ◦Ei lasknud värvikihtidel kuivada, vaid katsid märja pinna uue värviga. ◦Pehmete paste...
Foreword Bridging rivers, gorges, narrows, straits, and valleys always has played an important role in the history of human settlement. Since ancient times, bridges have been the most visible testimony of the noble craft of engineers. A bridge can be defined in many ways, but Andrea Palladio, the great 16th century Italian architect and engineer, hit on the essence of bridge building when he said "...bridges should befit the spirit of the community by exhibiting commodiousness, firmness, and delight." In more practical terms, he went on to explain that the way to avoid having the bridge carried away by the violence of water was to make the bridge without fixing any posts in the water. Since the beginning of time, the goal of bridge builders has been to create as wide a span as possible which is commodious, firm, and occasionally delightful. Spanning greater distances is a distinct measure ...

TARTU KUTSEHARIDUSKESKUS Eesnimi Perenimi Ameerika kultuur Referaat õppeaines ,,Kultuuriloo alused" 2013 SISSEJUHATUS Kultuuril on väga lai mõiste, kuid kõige üldisemas mõttes on see inimtegevus, mis vastandub täielikult loodusele. Kultuur hõlmab mitmeid valdkondi: keel, teadmised, eetika ja moraal, oskused, traditsioonid, uskumised, kombed. Kultuur on inimtegevus, mis on iseloomulik teatud rahvale, piirkonnale või ajastule. Enamasti on kultuurid määratletavad keele kaudu. Inimese kui ühiskondliku olendi kultuurilised omadused antakse talle selle ühiskonna poolt, kus ta kasvab ja areneb. Inimühiskonnast isoleeritud inimolendil pole võimalik omandada kultuuri, ehkki veel 20. sajandil usuti selle võimalikkusse. Individuaalselt omandatakse kultuur teistelt ühiskonnaliikmetelt läbi kasvatuse ja õppimise, harjutamise, jäljendamise ja kordamise abil. Käesolev referaat annab ülevaate Ameerika ku...
