Crop Circles Analysis
Crop circles have been discussed for a long time. Whether they’re made by man or some sort of alien species is unknown and, in some ways, hard to prove. In this paper, I’m going to talk about two articles. One talks about aliens making crop circles. The other is an interview with a man who is a crop circle maker. I am unsure what I believe as far as crop circles go. I think there’s a possibility though, for sure, that there could be aliens out there. I’m just not sure that if they were to try to communicate with or contact us, that they would go about doing that by forming “crop circles”. My first article is titled “Blonde ‘Aliens’ Seen at Crop Circle Sight”. This article is actually published in multiple places with its own spin on things. …show more content…
John Lundberg is apparently a crop circle maker. “Lundber and his associates have created circles across the USA, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico and across continental Europe”. John said, he “first became aware of the circles like most of the UK population when there was an upsurge in media coverage here in the late 80s”. “It really was a revelation to me, seeing the disconnect between what we were doing – flattening cereal crop with planks of wood – and what our works audience was perceiving, which could be anything from physiological and psychological effects brought on by visiting the circles, to electronic equipment failures or malfunctions, alleged curative powers, or the inverse, reports of people feeling nauseous in our creations”. John enjoyed all of this “mythology and folklore that was built up around” their crop circle making. Lundberg has “worked on numerous projects for TV shows, movies, music videos, adverts and PR stunts”. When Caryn asked John, “The main argument by the pro-circle researchers is that the designs are far too complicated to have been created by human hand. How do you respond to that argument”? He replied with, “Look at the Sistine Chapel. I could never conceive of creating something like that, but just because I’m unable to create it, I don’t believe that no human could have created it. I think this is the flaw with a lot of the researchers, they look at a complex crop

Everyone agrees that dogs cost money. Some say Billy should have bought the dogs, while others say he should not have. Billy should have bought hunting dogs for three reasons: he experienced hunting, he learned valuable skills, and it brought him enjoyment.…

    Plastination is a technique that challenges the boundary between science and art. Bohannon asks, “Can a dead human body be a piece of art ‘about’ the human body?” (59). The author at first seems doubtful that this is art, but then answers her own question with observations an artist might make. In the plastination factory, she states it reminds her of descriptions she’d read of “Warhol’s ‘factory,’” but is troubled that Dr. von Hagens’ “‘materials’ were once living, breathing people” (Bohannon 61). She remarks that the “muscle has strings of viscous pink connecting it to the table,” but she “can’t help but think of the feet of dancers, incredibly strong, but hopelessly mangled” (Bohannon 63). While observing a vat of liquid, the author realizes that there is a corpse in the liquid, but the liquid is “candy pink, like cheap bubblegum, Pepto-Bismol, Pokemon pink” (Bohannon 63). Also, when viewing a camel on display, she convinces herself that “This isn’t the work of purists or simple anatomists. This room is a workshop for artists” (Bohannon 65). While holding of the smoker, Bohannon finally hears “the message spoken in an unfamiliar language – a language made of breath and blood and finality” (69).…

    According to Gould, modern geology textbooks mischaracterize Thomas Burnet as “the archetype of a biblical idolatry that reined the progress of science,” (1987:23). This was supported by writings of Fenton, who dismissed his theory as divine interventions to explain Earth’s development, and Hutton, who depicted Burnet’s book as “poetic fiction” (Fenton, 1952:22, Hutton, 1795:271). However, Burnet’s ideas particularly relied on physical principles and attempted to explain a biblical interpretation of Earth through a natural science framework. Furthermore, his ideas contrast one of the most influential scholars of his time, Issac Newton, widely renowned for his revolutionary advances in mathematics and science (Gould, 1987). While Newton’s ideas about Earth emphasized divine intervention, Burnet insisted an explanation existed through “natural law” (Gould, 1987:38-41). Thus, Gould argues that scholars misinterpreted Burnet’s religiously inspired theories blinded by religion’s “intrusion” in scientific matters, and that his argument should be considered (1987:26).…

    He then compares the very different beliefs of the shape of the earth in the Middle Ages with the ancient Greek ideas. Although the ancient Greeks were more accurate in their thinking, he later brings up the unfortunate fact that the Greek’s ideas were ignored and left out of the bible. This put scientific advancement more than a thousand years behind what it could have been. He continues…

    In America around the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s emerged a new kind of Abstract painting style dubbed as ‘Abstract Expressionism’ with a man named Jackson Pollock being, as what some may call, the ringleader and starting point of the movement with Blue Poles, formerly known as number 11, being one of his most famous works of art. But the question or stigma that still remains around the painting is ‘is it actually real art’ with some regarding it as being something that the skill of either a child or a chimpanzee could easily recreate with next to no thought put into it due to the use of chance continuously evident throughout the 210.4cm by 486.8cm painting. However, where is the rule of chance not being art? Where is even the rule book for art? The apparent rule book of art all comes from an oral and visual history way back from the 1600’s where the Renaissance Painting period resided which was very much about the precision of the brush on the canvas. However, contrary to popular belief, such as when the big so called scandal as to when the Whitlam Government bought Blue Poles from a private collector, Blue Poles and all of Jackson Pollock’s work do contain a high amount of skill, thought and are most certainly real works of art, which, like Pollock would say, ‘I deny the accident’.…

    As I entered the observatory I knew I would come home with information I had never knew about. There where so many things to touch and look at. I wanted to spend every minute observing the displays. The walls and the ceilings have large beautiful murals painted all along the ceiling, like something from a cathedral in Rome. I was told, they were created to show the connection between science and mythology, as well as the connection between the earth and the sky. There were even murals of all the Astronomers who helped develop Griffith’s idea. The center of the building included a large Pendulum, which was a device used to measure the earth’s rotation. It was the observatories main attraction and had required perfect creation in order for it to be exact. As everyone was gathered around this object, we wondered how it worked. At the bottom of the floor was a measuring device with domino like blocks rotating around it. It worked in the strangest way I can imagine, as the ball moved back and forth it would knock down the blocks according to…

    His art is created with chalk. First, like a skillful architect, he first designs his creations on paper. Once he starts, Julian places a camera at a distance of the art and keeps observing it through the lens of the eye. The reason is simple: the camera has a wide angled lens that can create an optical ilusion that can distort the actual size of objects. "I think because the camera limits what your brain can do," he said, "it limits the brain's ability to judge distance, it makes you only use one eye. And therefore you can make the brain believe stuff that otherwise it wouldn't believe." This is what is known as anamorphism. Once he gets started on his creation, he goes back and forth from his art to the camera a few hundred times to gain perspective. Once it's created, the results will appear extraordinary as evidenced in the…

    This argument can be considered to stem from racist undertones, especially when it is applied to the Pyramids of Egypt, and the mounds of the North American mound builder cultures. It also holds a sense of ageist, not these people are too old to and frail, but they have not progressed through enough scientific ages to possess the engineering knowledge or tools to have accomplished these tasks. In the History Chanel’s program the evidence is based on images and carvings found at these sites where our ancestors were leaving us a record of extraterrestrial interactions. This form of thinking follows the same logical thinking of chalking up anything that remains misunderstood as a religious item or depiction. It is just a different way of saying that the artifact in question has not been understood yet. But, for others the racist and lack of scientific advancement of our ancestors is the main draw behind the…

    For example, Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump, an oil on canvas painting painted by Joseph Wright in 1768. The painting is showing that the bird was panicking about the withdrawal from the vessel through the pump. A lay audience, including men, women and children, gathered together to watch the early experiment which is performed by the longhaired scientist, showing air is vital to life (Schlick, 2005). The observer has different emotions towards the experiment, including the negative emotions such as frightening ad anxiety (two young girls) and the positive emotions such as admiring and willing to absorbing scientific knowledge (the young and middle aged gentleman, as well as the parental protection (Schlick, 2005). The painting clearly shows that the entire experiment conducts under the artificial lamp light instead of the moonlight. The theme set as the bird would die because of the depletion of oxygen would challenge the Christian interpretation of the world by Enlightenment science (Baudot, 2012). This new discovery of a visual style shows blend science with religion to create a special effect. Telling a story between science and art, the primary intention of the art not about the wonder of scientific discovery, but ‘the haunting presence of religious questions and artistic tradition in the new experimental science’ (Baudot, 2012, p.…

    Michael Pollan introduces the concept of four types of plants in his garden. He uses these plants as better examples to show how they have been in a continuous interdependence with man. He brings in scientific facts in the field of botany in line with the context of human desires. In his thesis, he tries to relate the four types of plants to certain human attributes and creatively crafts it in a manner that makes it easily accessible and bearable. Pollan asserts that though plants have coexisted in a domesticated environment, man has always been the sovereign ruler of nature by designing and redesigning plants, using genetic engineering to suit his needs.…
