The Creation

This research tittle ‘work in progress on the creation of the three-stringed kulcapi’ wanted to examine how the work process of the creation of the kulcapi music instrument and can be explained descriptively. The kulcapi musical instrument which is considered to still have limitations in terms of producing its notes, and only having 2 strings, seems to be the cause of the less than optimal function in exploring the notes. In addition, the form of the kulcapi instrument is seen to be still very plain and very simple, this is felt to be one of the issues that must be overcome to be able to explore the kulcapi musical instrument to be more functional, both in producing tones and adding aesthetic value to the form of the kulcapi music instrument. In this research, a qualitative descriptive method is used. The process of tracing data and information is done diachronically to find out in full and complete about the kulcapi music instrument. The data collected comes from two sources, they are primary and secondary data. Primary data obtained through in-depth interviews and participant observation that aims to collect data followed by focus group discussions. This research produces findings including: a) The creation of three-stringed kulcapi instruments has a wider range of tone areas. b) can be functioned more flexible and can be explored in playing pentatonic and diatonic tones. c) The shape has the characteristic of the Karo people with the presence of ethnic Karo ornaments on the kulcapi’s body.

Mind Set

One of the biggest changes in franchise building has been the refinement of digital tools for previsualizing special effects. This chapter explores the creation of the original Star Wars (1977), focusing on George Lucas as a techno-auteur whose use of animatics was central to creating the film’s world. Beyond production design, however, previz enabled Lucas to extend his authorial brand to encompass the contributions of other artists and pop-culture influences, minting originality out of appropriation. The chapter considers Lucas’s “Special Editions” of the late 1990s as examples of the previz mind-set, noting parallels with the design networks and creative fan productions around Star Trek.

A friend who had been deputy national intelligence officer when Gregory Treverton was vice-chairman under Joseph Nye cautioned him that “this is not your father’s National Intelligence Council”. And indeed it wasn’t. Substantively, the biggest change was in mission—the enormous addition of current intelligence support to the government’s policy committees. That meant the NIC was in the thick of things, but it also meant than finding time for more strategic work was a constant frustration—all in the context of an administration trying to cope with crises from Ukraine to ISIS, from Afghanistan to Ebola. Procedurally, the biggest change was the creation, first of the director of national intelligence, and later of the national intelligence managers. The latter, especially, will remain a work in progress: it does let the NIC focus on what it does best, analysis, but at some cost in prestige and time spent in bureaucratic jockeying—the “black Suburban” issue: who goes to White House policy meetings.

Over Time

Chapter 11 considers the claim that the best perfumes should be classified as part of the fine arts. The chapter argues that from the perspective of contemporary aesthetic definitions of fine art, perfumes have all it takes to be fine art since they have complex structures that develop over time that can be used to represent ideas and express emotions. Yet the second half of the chapter argues that from the perspective of contemporary contextual and historical definitions of art, perfumes are more like design art than fine art. The contextual case against fine art status is based on a model of art and design practices that involves roles, intentions, media, norms, and institutions. If we compare the creation of a commercial perfume designed by a perfumer with a “perfume” commissioned by an artist for an installation, commercial perfume looks like a design art. Chapter 11 ends in an impasse.

Wooden altarpieces are important features of European medieval material culture, especially of the Late Gothic Fine Arts from the 15th and 16th century. Many of them were carved in the Brabantine towns of Antwerp, Brussels and Mechelen in present-day Belgium. Although they were highly esteemed and exported all over Europe, little is known about their production process. In order to understand the context of the creation of the altarpieces, a detailed analysis of the wood has been completed to supplement and test historical documentation and art historical approaches. Tree-ring patterns and anatomical features of 209 wooden sculptures from collections of different museums were analyzed. Tree-ring analysis proved the 15th–16th century origin of the sculptures but also allowed a detailed technical characterization of the carvers' basic material. The striking uniformity of the grain and the sawing pattern revealed that medieval woodcarvers preferred quarter sawn oak lumber, imported from the Baltic area. Stylistic and iconographic hypotheses concerning the current setting of several altarpieces could be founded, based on the wood anatomical and dendrochronological observations. Intensive collaboration between wood biologists and art historians proved to be essential in order to reconstruct the creation process of carved wooden altarpieces.

Biographers have largely ignored Louis Pasteur's many and varied connections with art and artists. This article is the second in a series of the authors' studies of Pasteur's friendships with artists. This research project has uncovered data that enlarge the great medical chemist's biography, throwing new light on a variety of topics including his work habits, his social life, his artistic sensibilities, his efforts to lobby on behalf of his artist friends, his relationships to their patrons and to his own patrons, and his use of works of art to foster his reputation as a leader in French medical science. In a prior article, the authors examined his unique working relationship with the Finnish painter Albert Edelfelt and the creation of the famous portrait of Pasteur in his laboratory in the mid-1880s. The present study documents his especially warm friendship with three French artists who came from Pasteur's home region, the Jura, or from neighboring Alsace. A forthcoming study gives an account of his friendships with Max Claudet and Paul Dubois, both of whom made important images of Pasteur, and it offers further illustrations of his devotion to the fine arts.

The article is devoted to the topical problem of formation of color perception of children of preschool and younger school age in artistic and creative activities. The perception of color is defined by the authors as the process of understanding color, which basic laws are integrity, understanding, apperception, selectivity and constancy. Analysis of the age stages of formation of color perception led to the conclusion that the stages are associated with the environment in which a child grows: experience of color perception in reality, in works of fine art and experience of the own artistic and creative activities, expert help of the teacher. Therefore, the formation of color perception skills of children of preschool and younger school age needs systematic work in the dynamics of preschool children development of colour standards through the expansion of the primary school children’s views about the color and perfection of color skills to the cognition of color as a tool of the artist, which is able to express feelings, emotions and relation. The authors developed methodological recommendations for the formation of color vision in children of preschool and younger school age: the active position of a teacher, the creation of an atmosphere of co-creation, experimentation; demonstration of techniques for working with color; the organization of perception process of art works, including the analysis of a color system in art and nature; the creation of a special aesthetic environment of a group class. The results of the study can be used in the process of teaching and learning fine arts in the design of individual routes of teachers self-education and personality developing educational technologies in system of improvement of teachers professional skill.

Civilized Society

Music is the best of all the fine arts. It is a masterpiece of the spirit of the human mind. Through which a person manifests his intangible feelings in tangible form. Music is unbroken and eternal. Music is a mirror of our society and culture. Therefore music is the source of humanism and is eternal. Therefore, music develops the spirit of Vishwakutumbakam (the whole world is a family), which leads to the creation of a civilized society. The definition of music is given by Pt. Sharangadev in his treatise Sangeet Raratnakar in this way. संगीत सभी ललित कलाओं में श्रेष्ठ कला है। यह मानव मन की भावना की उत्कृष्ट कृति है। जिसके माध्यम से व्यक्ति अपनी अमूर्त भावनाओं को मूर्त रूप में प्रकट करता है। संगीत अखण्ड एवं अनन्त है। संगीत अपने समाज व संस्कृति का दर्पण होता है। इसलिए संगीत मानवतावाद का पोषक है एवं अनन्त है। इसलिए संगीत से विश्वकुटुम्बकम (पूरा विश्व एक परिवार) की भावना का विकास होता है जिससे सभ्य समाज का निर्माण होता है। संगीत की परिभाषा पं. शारंगदेव ने अपने ग्रंथ संगीत ररत्नाकर में इस प्रकार दी है ‘‘गीतं वाद्यं तथा नृत्यं त्रयं संगीत मुच्येते।
