Entropy

Things will keep happening to youUntil you get so used to the ideaThat you forget you still have the powerTo make things happen Entropy always increases in a closed systemIt takes sheer will to get organizedAnd create somethingThat has not existed before Take control of your lifeBefore the elements take over your mindThe mind can exert a willPower that can upset all mankind.

Painting Class - Monochromatic Painting - 10/10/22

NOTE: PAINTING STUDENTS WE WILL MEET IN PERSON ON MONDAY 10/10/22 AT 12:20PM,  FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO WANT TO BE IN PERSON. 

THE REST OF THE CLASS WILL JOIN IN VIRTUALLY VIA TEAMS AT 12:30PM.

If you finished the Homage to a famous artist, then start working with setting up a still life for the monochromatic assignment. 

Make sure there is a direct light to create values on the objects.

Students will post three ideas (photos ) of their still life on their Tumblr page with a brief statement about the story you are creating with these objects.

Look for objects that can create an interesting narrative about you. 

One of the most famous artists that worked with still life set ups was Giorgio Monrandi. He worked on various compositions always using the still life as his main inspiration.

He tended to use very simplistic compositions in monochromatic colors.

As you look around your home, what objects can you use that can have a specific narrative to your story telling. 

What truth or idea can these objects convey about your life? 

Think about that when you set up your objects. 

Make sure you do include a folded fabric .

Look at the student  class examples I have posted with this post.

Monochromatic Still Life

Before you start your at home still life you will do preliminary studies of your still life in three Primary colors colors (hues):

Yellow, Red and Blue.

You will create tonal varieties with each color by adding black to the color to darken the hue or white to lighten the hue.

Black or White will not be used in the painting only as it is mixed in the color ( either the Red, Blue or Yellow ).

Here are more student examples of a monochromatic Still Life in Blue, Green and Purple :

More work from various students..

COMPOSITION IN GREEN

These color studies will give you an idea of the range of values you can get with each hue. 

Aim to have at least 6-7 value ranges. 

The more value an objects has , the more realistic and dimensional it is depicted.

Begin the color studies in class and try to complete it by Homework tomorrow at 5pm.

Make sure you post your progress by end of class today.

On Weds, once you have settled on your favorite hue to work with , then you will begin your monochromatic still life painting.

You will work on this assignment the following days and post progress for all those days: 

10/10 - Monday

10/11 - Tuesday Homework

10/12 - Weds

10/13 - Thursday  Homework 

10/17 - Monday

Jo and Friedrich Don´t Argue In The Book (Why They Argue In The Movies)

Podcast Transcript Part 4

Stories Based On Real Life

Before Jo has final break up away from the Weekly Volcano, there is a very important event before that and that is the Symposium. Jo and Friedrich attend a symposium together and Jo is really exited to go there, but after a while she begins to see that these people who she has been admiring from distance are just regular people.

"her reverence for genius received a severe shock that night and it took sometime to recover that the great creatures were only men and women after all".

Time in New York helps Jo to  broad her mind and she also begins to observe people by their character, than their wealth, looks or possession. I know lots of Little Women fans, whose favorite scene in the entire novel is the symposium, and the more I have read it, I think that is the time when Jo actually begins to fall in love with Friedrich.

This is where the Christianity comes in. In the symposium Jo sees one young man starting to speak about atheism and questions the existence of God. You have to remember that Jo is very religious. Her father is literally a pastor. Jo is blown away by what´s happening and the narrator mentions that her world turned upside down. Jo was quite shocked and upset and didn´t know what to think and then Friedrich started to speak for religion.

"He blazed up with honest indignation, and defended religion with all the eloquence of truth - and eloquence which made his broken English musical, and his plain face beautiful".

"Somehow, as he talked, the world got right again to Jo; the old beliefs that had lasted so long, seemed better than the new. God was not a blind force, and immortality was not a pretty fable, but a blessed fact. She felt as if she had solid ground under her feet again ; and when Mr Bhaer paused, out talked, but not one with convinced, Jo wanted to clap her hands and thank him".

How can anyone not love Friedrich after reading that. This is also where Friedrich is no longer a German philosopher. He actually becomes an American philosopher, because during this time period there was a rising school of atheism going on with the German intellects, but Friedrich who is German is in this case a lot more closer to Louisa May Alcott´s transcendentalist world view and American philosophers like Henry Thoreau and Waldo Emerson. Louisa was a highly spiritual person and transcendentalism, it was a bit different compared to the mainstream Christianity of the time, because the transcendentalist were somewhat pantheistic. They believed that nature was the ultimate manifestation of god and they were also somewhat pacifistic and quite tolerant what it came to other religions. For example Louisa´s father was accused of being Buddhist when Louisa was a child. Louisa was somewhat a spiritual seeker through her life. What it came to romance and love, she saw that the spiritual connection between two people was as important as anything else. That was a big part of Louisa´s relationship with Henry.

This is a quote from blogger @Skirmish-lit-and-wit. 

"I come back to Thoreau's work a lot when I'm feeling existential. He has such a lovely way of contextualizing complex thoughts about life in his poems. She was probably attracted to his existential musings and the spark they shared likely came from intellectual stimulation and being able to talk about life's Big questions together".

The symposium is 100% connected to Jo´s development as a writer. It is all about her starting to put more thoughts on her characters and the messages that she wants to say in her works. The adaptations they show Jo and Friedrich arguing, which doeasn´t happen in the novel, but they have never adapted the symposium.

What happens is that Friedrich sees a copy of Weekly Volcano and he expresses his dislike about sensationalism. Jo, who has been writing this type of stories, is bit upset but she is not upset with Friedrich, she is upset with herself. Ever since she started to write those potboiler stories she has had this inner battle about it. She doesn´t particularly enjoy it, publisher keeps erasing the parts that she likes and the payment is not that great.

Friedrich compares that reading sensationalism almost has the same effect if he would give gunpowder for his nephews. If we take a look at that a bit deeper, couple years back maybe you remember there was lots of talk about the way the giant social media companies had spread false information online before elections in different parts of the world and also give platforms for hate speech, and they only agreed to censor themselves was when the advertisers said that they are going to leave the platform (that´s exactly what happened on YouTube couple years ago). In the 19th century that was the way the sensational press was working. Louisa May Alcott being a transcendentalist, abolitionist and a promoter of gender equality, would have had very serious moral questions what are the platforms that she was okay to work with.

This is what Jo says to herself:

"They are trash, and soon be worse than trash if I go on; for each is more sensational than the last. I´ve gone blindly on hurting myself and other people for the sake of money. Jo stuffed the whole bundle into to the stove, nearly setting the chimney afire with the blaze.

"Yes that is the best place for such inflammable nonsense. I´d better burn the house down, I suppose, than let other people blow themselves up with  my gunpowder".

One of the listeners of this podcast said to me that the reason why this chapter is difficult to adapt is because it is not really a conversation between two people, it is mostly a dialogue that happens inside Jo´s head. They have a great point. It is easier to film a conflict between the two, than an inner conflict, but the filmmakers never should show Jo and Friedrich arguing because Jo 100% agrees with Friedrich, and when you read the book, she actually has this same inner battle about sensationalism and being pressured by money-hungry editors going on at least two years before she even meets him.

Goethe was Louisa´s favorite writer. She had both English and German editions and she even asked her publisher friend Thomas Niles to send her new Goethe editions when they appeared. Louisa loved Sturm und Drang, this ability to really go all in writing about characters that are constantly in emotional distress because of their turbulent emotions, what she did not love that much was these crimes and murderers and scandalous elements that she had to sneak into her stories, when she was working for Frank Leslie.

For example Louisa was an abolitionist, but the stories that sold were actually pro-slavery and promoting racist stereotypes. There is an element of Sturm und Drang, stress and thunder tales that actually appear throughout Louisa´s published work, and that is the psychology of obsession in relationships. You can see that even in Little Women the way Laurie is pursuing Jo, despite the fact that she constantly says no to him or Tom pursuing Nan.

Another quote from Armknecht:

"Bhaer is trying to help Jo to become a genuine writer instead of one who caters to the whims of the crowd. This is something that Goethe would have done. He disliked superficiality in people and in art and was through life frequently offended by the shallow pretensions, the false aims. He insists that a poem  must be suggested by real life, and having herein a firm foundation".

That Alcott imposed a knowledge of certain literature on her protagonists, especially Jo, because she, as Jo’s living counterpart, was herself acquainted with that same literature. Although still distinct from Alcott, Jo becomes an extension of her philosophies and ideas and is shaped by Alcott’s environment and upbringing".

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PBUH)’s BIOGRAPHY :  Chronologically Listed Dates Throughout the Prophet’s life

Before going into the life experiences of our Prophet, we have chronologically listed important dates throughout the Prophet’s life. We hope that this list will help enliven the Prophet’s life in your eyes.

571 – On the 12th night of the month of Rabi al-Awwal (April, 20), Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, honored this world with his birth.

575 – The foster mother of the Messenger of Allah, Halima, handed him to his mother, Amina bint Wahb.

577 – Our Prophet lost his mother in the village of Abwa, situated in between Mecca and Medina. His grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, adopted him into his family.

579 – Abdul Muttalib left this world to the Hereafter. Our Prophet started to share a home with his uncle Abu Talib ibn Abdul Muttalib.

583 – With his uncle, Abu Talib, he went to Damascus (territories of contemporary Syria and Lebanon) for trading purposes. Here, Priest Bahira discovered that the Messenger of Allah was the last expected Prophet.

590 – He joined the Alliance of the Virtuous.

591 – Started his trading business.

596 – He went to Sham again for trading purposes. Three months later he married Khadija bint Khuwaylid. In their wedlock, they had six children, two boys and four girls. Their names were Qasim, Zaynab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, Fatima, and Abdullah.

605 – He hammered out a conflict that happened between tribes during the reconstruction of the Ka’ba.

610 – In the Cave of Hira on the Mountain of Light, he communicated his first revelation and had attained the duty of Prophethood.

613 – At Safa, he had openly communicated the message for the first time. He had arranged dining tables for his close relatives during the conveying of his message. Disbelievers started to torture Muslims.

615 – The first migration to Abyssinia, the territory of contemporary Ethiopia, took place. A group of fifteen people, four of which were women, set off to Abyssinia to protect themselves from violence and practice their religion in a much better way. The son in law of our Prophet, Uthman ibn Affan, led them. In the same year, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib and Umar ibn al-Khattab converted to Islam.

616 – The second migration to Abyssinia took place. This time, a group of 101 people, eighteen of which were women, moved to Abyssinia under the leadership of Jafar ibn Abu Talib. During that period, attempts of a non-believer, Amr ibn As (who converted to Islam later) to convince the Negus in the matter of not protecting Muslims ended in vain. The Negus allowed Muslim migrants to stay in his country.

617 – A group of prominent people of Quraysh, consisting of 40 people, gathered at the chieftaincy of Abu Jahl, where they decided not to have any kind of business with Muslims, not to allow their children to marry Muslims, not to have meetings with them, and to cease all economic and social relations with them. They wrote it down in the form of a treaty and stamped it, after which appealed it on a single piece of cloth and hung it inside the Ka’ba. In doing so, they hoped that by harassing Muslims, they would make them surrender the Prophet. By taking the pledge of not doing anything against this decision, they started intolerantly applying these laws. In this manner, a social and economic boycott against Muslims took place that lasted for three long years.

619 – The Boycott ended. The son of the Prophet, Qasim, and then his other son, Abdullah, passed away. After a while, his uncle Abu Talib and Khadija died in the same year as well.

620 – The Messenger of Allah went to Taif, where he was treated terribly.

621 – The Night journey and Ascension took place this year. In the same year realization of Aqaba Pledge took place, where twelve Medinans Pledged to the Messenger of Allah. Six people conferred in the Hill of Aqaba with the Messenger of Allah and then converted to Islam. After the Hajj Season, they returned to Medina. By explaining everything experienced to their kith and kin, they started to spread Islam all over Medina. A year later, in the Season of Hajj, there came twelve people, ten of whom were from the tribe of Khazraj and two more—from Aws, who had already become Muslims, to confer with the noble Prophet. The Messenger of Allah appointed Mus’ab ibn Umayr to preach Islam in Medina.

622 – The Second Aqaba Pledge was committed. Muslims of Mecca and then our Prophet emigrated from Mecca to Medina. The Prophet’s Mosque was constructed. The first adhan was recited.

623 – The Direction of the qibla was changed from Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to the Ka’ba by the command of Allah the Almighty.

624 – The Battle of Badr took place with the hypocrites of Mecca. In the same year, Muslims confronted Jews of the tribe of Banu Qaynuqa and sent them away from Medina. Fasting in the month of Ramadan was ordained. The first religious festive day prayer was performed. Paying purifying alms was ordained, too. The daughter of the Messenger of Allah, Ruqayyah, passed away. Ali ibn Abu Talib married Fatima. The first prayer of the Eid of Sacrifice was performed.

625 – Battle of Uhud took place.

627 – Battle of the Trench took place. According to the covenant, Jews of the tribe of Banu Qurayza were to protect Medina together with Muslims during the Battle of the Trench. However, they did not fulfill their duty. Moreover, they disregarded all clauses within the Aqaba Pledge, and in a very critical part of the battle, they joined hypocrites. After the battle, the Messenger of Allah drew his army towards Banu Qurayza and eliminated them, too.

628 – The Messenger of Allah and his Companions set forth to Mecca for minor pilgrimage. Uthman ibn Affan was sent there as an emissary. As soon as news of Uthman’s martyrdom reached our beloved Prophet, he took pledge from Companions to fight against them. This pledge was called the Pledge of Ridwan. When that information reached hypocrites, they set Uthman ibn Affan free. The hypocrites were very resolute in not letting Muslims visit the Ka’ba. Therefore they sent an envoy to the Messenger of Allah to negotiate a treaty. The Messenger of Allah accepted all the clauses of the treaty, which primarily seemed to not be in the Muslims favor; however, later on they turned to be in favors of Muslims. In this way, a Hudaybiya Reconciliation with the Meccan hypocrites was signed.

629 – Letters of calling into Islam were sent to rulers of that age. The Messenger of Allah sent Dihya ibn Khalifa al-Kalbi to the Byzantine emperor, Heraclius; Amr ibn Umayya ad-Damri to the Abyssinian king (the Negus) Ashama ibn al-Abjar; Abdullah ibn Hudhafah as-Sahmi to the Persian (Sassanian) king (Khosrau II) Khusraw Parviz; Hatib ibn Abu Balta’ah to Egyptian vicegerent (the Muqawqis) Juraij ibn Matta; Sulayt ibn Amr al-Amiri to the chief of Yamama, Hawdha ibn Ali; Shuja ibn Wahb to the king of Damascus, Harith ibn Abi Shamir al-Ghassan, with the purpose of inviting them to Islam. In the same year, the Battle of Khaybar took place. Victory, gained at Khaybar almost made all the Jews of Arabia surrender to Islamic government. Furthermore, Battles of Byzantine and Muta took place in the same year.

630 – Mecca was conquered. The Holy Ka’ba was purified and cleared from all idols. During the Battle of Hunayn (against tribes of Saqif and Hawazin), Muslims prevailed and won. The Expedition to Tabuk was accomplished. The Byzantine army did not dare confront the Muslim army because of their poor military preparations. Therefore, a battle did not take place.

632 – Our beloved Prophet performed the Farewell Pilgrimage. He later fell ill and passed away.
