Christopher Cardenas Final Artwork

When it came to choosing what art movement style I wanted to replicate I chose Fauvism and Expressionism, the creators of this movement being Henri Matisse and André Derain. When deciding on what pieces to use as my inspiration I looked at artworks created by Andre Derain and found two that I used for my inspiration, first was the “L’ Estaque” (1905) and Henri Matisse’sself portrait painting of Andre Derain. When making this piece I had decided to use the colors from the environment painting adding them to the self portrait style. I chose the “L’ Estaque” for its colors because they are dynamic and sharp and I wanted to use more wild colors than the usual skin tones of a normal self portrait.

Activity 3.2.3 – Alternative Energy – Geothermal Energy

Alternative energy is most commonly defined as renewable energy as "in general, most industrialized countries do not rely on it as their main energy source" (Mutiti, 3). Some of these renewable alternative energy sources include "wind, water, solar or biomass" (Mutiti, 3). As the world operates today, we need energy for all functions in our society. However, "current levels of energy consumption and production are not sustainable because of the heavy reliance on non-renewable energy sources" (Mutiti, 3). If we as a society continue to rely on these non-renewable resources, they will all be depleted soon. This is why it is very important that countries start to invest in renewable energy sources. Another argument for renewable resources: "energy comes from the sun (considered an "unlimited"; some renewable energy sources are really indirect forms of solar energy" (Mutiti, 3). Because of our dependence on energy, our consumption of energy...

Activity 3.3.1 Air Pollution Core Activity.

Air Pollution Basics Energy is essential for all our lives as, without the consumption of nonrenewable resources the industrial revolution would never have begun and life as we know would not look the same. However, the process of turning coal and oil into energy is not a clean one. In fact, when burned coal and oil release air pollutants. As "people became more numerous and industrialized, air pollution increasingly developed into a much bigger problem" (Freedman, 366). As such, problems stemming from these emissions today are becoming a major cause of concern not just for the air quality here in the US but everywhere on Earth. The three main chemicals emitted when burning coal and oil are sulfur pollutants, nitrogen pollutants, hydrocarbon and volatile organic compound pollutants. When sulfar is burned it turns into a dioxide, meaning a gas and goes up into our atmosphere, typically staying there for "SO2 in the atmosphere is about four days" (Freedman, 368). Th...
