Essays on Human Face

René Magritte's oil on canvas painting The Son of Man (1964) has become a very popular visual text in a short period of time. The symbolism and unusual and enigmatic create a holistic picture of the semantic code that every viewer tries to interpret. Although the canvas contains a fairly small number of different details, as contrasted with Bosch or Rubens' paintings, yet there is a deep consisting of several layers meaning in it. The painting contains a number of visual symbols, which have already become some kind of the archetypes of modern society. The Son of Man (see ...

The interaction between people requires multiple forms of non-verbal communication that is the exchange of information through facial expressions, gestures and body movements. Non-verbal communication is sometimes also called "body language", but the term is not entirely correct since people tend to use such non-verbal signs only to refute or to confirm what was said. All cultures have different attitudes towards personal space. Their facial gestures and body positions show that they don’t like it. Rules about personal space are unwritten and never taught but they are obligatory for all members of a certain culture. For example, most ...

Abstract

This article provides a brief overview of the journal article by Elizabeth Simpson and colleagues. In their study, they tested his efficiency of human face recognition about animals. Their primary goal was to establish whether same species received more allocation of attention. Their results indicated that human faces are more identifiable than those of other species. The study stands in sharp contrast to previous studies that had indicated that animal faces registered a higher recognition amongst animals than human faces did among humans. This paper also outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the study by Simpson and colleagues. Perhaps ...

Buddhism was one of the dominant religions in Asia that originated in India and spread across the continent such as in mainland China, Japan, and Korea. It also influenced other countries in Southeast Asia that also adopted the culture of China. The fact that Buddhism became a dominant religion even today not only influenced the lifestyle of the societies where it was adopted. The profound evidence of its lasting influence on the art can be found on the sculptures. The purpose of this essay is to conduct a sculptural analysis of the two reliefs from two opposing cultures: the ...

The Correlation between Migration and Globalization

Introduction The relationship between migration and globalization has been explained in various twists by different authors. While some scholars opine that to a greater extent migration has been one of the tremendous drivers of globalization, others hold that were it not for the significant developments in globalization, then migration across the world would not have been both necessitated and facilitated (Stalker, 2000). This paper presents an analytical dissection of the dilemma through an in depth Literature review of works by different authors both in support and against either ideology.

For my narrative reflection and journey into a visual experience I chose to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. It exhibited many pieces I was able to connect to McCloud’s theories about closure and visual literacy (6). Certain pieces stood out more than others, inanimately, but somehow speaking to me. Collections spoke, punctuated, and ended themselves as comics do with direction, icons, and framework. McCloud’s philosophy on our sense of self in relation to what we see around us was also very present during my excursion (10). I saw myself differently depending on what exhibit I ...

HIST1010: “How do we remember?”

Introduction Memorials remembering a tragedy (or perhaps celebrating the perceived positive outcome of a tragic event) often serve different purposes over time. In the beginning, they usually focus on the suffering and on the loss of both soldiers and civilians. The establishment of the memorial is an integral part of the mourning process. But while historians try to keep these memories alive in their ‘objective’ accounts of events, they do inevitably fade. At the same time, others (for example the government, but also support groups) try to remember the past, creating lieux de mémoire that evoke pictures from ...

Correction or Correctional System as it is commonly referred to in other jurisdictions, plays a very critical and indispensable role in the administration of justice. Also loosely referred to as penal system, it encompasses punishment, treatment and supervision of persons convicted of crimes. The term correction was adopted following widespread acknowledgement and understanding of the society aided by various theories from scholars of criminology and penology that sought to establish that individuals do not necessarily commit crimes on their own volition or liking and that their criminal conducts are on most occasions the manifestation or as a consequences of factors beyond ...

ABSTRACT

This research proposal presents face reconstruction and recognition technology in the three dimensional format with the help of artificial neural networks. This technology combines geometric interpretation, detailed survey and analysis of streams of data in order to process static and dynamic images to produce neural images using advanced computing system. 3D face reconstruction done with the help of interconnected circuit of artificial neurons is followed by the step of matching and verification against familiar faces. 3D face reconstruction and recognition technology finds extensive applications in a number of fields including forensics and ensuring secure transactions. The process is complex, systematic ...
