Describe:
1. The background drapes pour over the darkest bronze of curtain rods securely mounted onto the wall supporting two long, thick, silky, espresso-colored, double-thermal, 84 ' ' long curtains with a layer of fragile chiffon grazing the carpet gently due to the air conditioning vent kicking on and blowing the bottom left corner of the drape up and over gently to the side of the beige wall in my upstairs bedroom. In the foreground, my brother, Anthony, two years younger than I, lies on his stomach on the floor at the bottom left of the photograph with myself on the bottom right, shoulder-to-shoulder with him; he is wearing a gray, short-sleeved t-shirt with a

■ Sound
Two specific, concrete details for the sense of sound that describes my experience of this picture with my brother are the obnoxious audibility of our laughter that vibrates in unison every time we are with each other, together with the stern shouting from down the stairs from our mother requesting a lowered volume.
■ Smell
Two specific, concrete details for the sense of smell that describes my experience of this picture with my brother are the Old Spice Swagger scent from his cologne and deodorant coupled with the Spring Renewal scented Febreeze that I always sprayed across the carpet.
■ Taste
Two specific, concrete details for the sense of taste that describes my experience of this picture with my brother are the metallic taste of the brand new retainer I had placed behind my bottom front four teeth the day prior, not to mention, the taste of raspberry lemonade flavored Blistex chapstick on my lips with the subtlety of every word I spoke.
■ Touch
Two specific, concrete details for the sense of touch that describes my experience of this picture with my brother are the sensation of his sharp, bony, shoulder up scraping against mine, similarly, the strange, fibrous sensation of my hair across my upper lip as if I had a existent mustache!

The similarities in this piece mostly compare to piece(1), this piece portrays three men of African American descent, all three are fully clothed wearing sports attire. Figure(1) to the far left looks directly into its audience, again following the pattern of painting(1) and painting(2). This bald, black male is wearing a silver cuban link chain that hugs his throat , a sleeveless, green Boston Celtics basketball jersey, spelling the ‘BOSTON’ and the number ‘44’ in white and blue baggy denim jeans. There are two separated white rounded lines surrounding the holes his arms and head go through. In his right hand he holds a lime green apple, while his left hand is placed on the shoulder of figure
My favorite scents would have to be the smell of dew after a strong rain, or perhaps the smell of fog. They both give off a similar feeling of mystery and calmness, a calm after the storm. It’s a smell that’s cold as metal, yet can bring you to the rolling hills of Ireland, or to a tropical tsunami in Asia. Just in the presence of it, I have the image of a calm field filled to the brim with mist, unable to see beyond the length of my arm. It’d be night, with a full moon high in the sky, but not one with apprehension, but rather one of just sleepiness and a desire to rest.
The director and creative team shot abstract video and used audio replication to manipulate the sensations audiences experience when viewing this film. It is hard to know if the characters are experiencing diagetic sound, or if the audio is removed from their
Smell, on the other hand, is the sense that comes from odor molecules attaching to the olfactory nerve. Air carries the odor into the nose. Then odor contacts the olfactory nerves at the top of the nasal passages. The the olfactory nerves send a signal to the olfactory bulb of the brain, and the nerve sends a signal to the front of the brain. The forebrain translates the signals of the odor into a specific smell (Swindle, Mark).
Smell is one of the five basic human senses. Smell is a powerful sense with many abilities. Smell can alert people to potential dangers. Smell brings variety into the world. In addition to these, smell also has one very special ability. Smell can instantly draw memories out of a person.
The smell receptors interact with the molecules of these vapors and transmit sensations to the brain. We need only a little amount of molecules of substance to trigger an impulse of smell in a nerve end, and we can smell more than ten thousand different scents. If it is a new scent it is possible to remember the scent and identify it again later. The scent captures one’s memory of the place; the nose makes the eyes remember. For the blind people, the sense of smell can help awareness of one’s location. Odour can also relate to hunger and the desire to consume. Since it is not possible to name all the odours, spatial qualities or experiences are often associated with scents. Positive experiences of smell can be used in design to induce positive memories or associations to a space, while negative smells can do the opposite. Bringing certain smells into a designed space can immediately stimulate emotions, guide us, or distract us. Designer Valerie Trent cites research that connects smell and memory; “People can often recall aromas from childhood or a distinctive odor they’ve only smelled once. Whatever your particular nose prefers, smells do enhance comfort and
Driving while under the influence of alcohol is called drunk driving (DUI), which is against the law. The National Traffic Safety Administration (NTSA) estimates that almost 40% of traffic deaths caused by accidents in the United States are caused by drunk drivers. Some people think that there should be tougher penalties for repeaters of DUI and we should have zero tolerance for drinking and driving. Others believe that tougher laws are not needed. Some people feel like the social drinkers are being punished more than the drunk drivers who keep getting DUI’s (ProQuest Staff). This paper will examine the pros, cons, and my viewpoint on whether tougher DUI laws and/or technology should be enacted.
This created a feeling of uncertainty and fear about this “thing” that was different and not from earth. Sound plays to our emotions; it helps the viewers depict what each person feels throughout the entire
Have you ever been so depressed and upset that you feel like you can not live anymore? Like everything is just a waste of time? Everything anyone does wrong just pushes you over the edge. That is exactly what happened to Hannah Baker in 13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher. Hannah is about 16 or 17.
It’s the smell of your grandma’s house, the scent of wax crayons and Elmer’s® glue, the aroma of your favorite home-cooked holiday cookies that your mom baked only once a year when you were a kid. Smells and odors have a natural tendency to transport you back to the rose-colored years of your childhood. Before you know it, you’re suddenly caught up in thoughts of who you were and how you’ve changed or perhaps reflecting on which decisions brought you to where you are in that particular moment in life. It’s in that moment, those short-lived moments, that one deeply appreciates the ability to smell and maybe wonders how such an arbitrary smell can have such a strong emotional response. Most of the scents that have strong emotional connections, nowadays, originate from inside of buildings and houses, just as most of the population lives indoors and spend most of their time in their homes or office buildings or schools.
Mint is distinctively sharper and cooler than a pine tree. Sushi is a clean smell, with a combination of sweet rice and subtle notes of ginger and lemon. An apple pie has the scent of summer because of the warmth of the cinnamon and nutmeg. Christmas is earthy mixed with a hint of sharp, clean aroma. Books are musty yet crisp, similar to a hundred-dollar bill. A dog’s pungent breath smell much like corn chips and hot dogs. Blood is an acrid, sweet, metallic aroma. Lavender is floral and has herbal notes with balsamic undertones. Ocean water is overwhelming and heavy.
Smells can trigger vivid emotional memories. What would be able to cause someone to feel emotions with an unknown smell that they haven’t been around since they were little, or maybe a smell that’s common to one self? Most would get a sense of deja vu when they come across a scent that hasn’t been around them since they were young.
The sounds of the city at night mix with the laughter of my friends. Taxis honking, subways rushing under your feet, and buses rumbling, all carrying their cargo of dead-tired, empty-minded passengers, following the daily routine until they reach their doorstep. For once, I 'm not one of them, not riding my train after a long day at school, brain set to automatic. Today, I am wide awake, soaring a thousand miles high.
Through someone’s aspect, it could be considered as the most efficient communicating tool of human being. On the other hand, some people may treat it as an irreplaceable expression of their emotion. Objectively speaking, “words” could definitely be concluded in both ways above, but in my opinion, using words is a privilege and honor. I use words to gain knowledge and words give me all kinds of possibilities of understanding new stuff when I intend to enhance my personal abilities.
Smelling, it’s the human body’s power of perceiving odours or scents by means of the organs in the nose it’s an amazing ability. Our sensation of taste is the just as amazing, as it perceives the flavours received in the mouth and throat on contact with a substance. Within in this presentation I hope to give you all the knowledge as to
