Topshop Unique

Where Topshop Unique lead the masses tend to follow. Based on this assumption, AW10 looks set to be awash with autumnal shades of burnt orange, brown and mossy greens. Picking up on a trend that has emerged on the streets of London over the past few months, and has seen a move towards traditional fabrics, rich colours, an almost English eccentricity, Topshop Unique presented a collection inspired by The Great Outdoors.
Oversized cosy coats with enormous matted fur hoods, feature sections of unfinished knit and hats adorned with deathly sharp spikes provide the perfect protection against the harsh winter elements.  The Furry animal hats were fun, yet unusually practical, whilst a squirrel print knit jumper provided a refreshing alternative to Fair Isle patterns.
Juxtaposed against this textural warfare were lighter pieces, full of promise and fantasy- with delicately frayed edges, woodland creatures and natural imagery- a Narnia that’s not for the fainthearted. The accessories were, rather predictably, exemplary- traditional boxy bags in brown, sheepskin rucksacks had old-fashioned binoculars and torch charms, whilst shoes were of the sturdy, lace up kind, but with a traditional Topshop twist- think buckles, ankle pouches and ultra thick socks.
I have seen the future. We will embrace nature, and outdoor pursuits, but perhaps oversized antlers and a camping trip in mid-Winter is a step too far…

No single, essential difference separates human beings from other animals.' So began a feature article on evolution in TIME magazine ('How Man Began', March 14, 1994). The more I thought about this sweeping statement the more I began to warm to it.

For example, like humans, apes have well formed rational faculties. Their ability to develop an argument, follow a line of logic, draw conclusions and frame hypotheses is quite remarkable.

Also like humans, apes have a marked faculty for language. (This, of course, is intertwined with their powers of reason.) Their vocabulary is enormous, their grammar complex, and their conversations deep and meaningful.

The apes' ability to codify language in writing is further proof of their close relationship to humans. In this respect, it was most gratifying to see the number of apes who wrote to TIMEmagazine in response to the article on 'How Man Began'. I was particularly interested to follow the line of reasoning of the orang-utan who argued that apes had evolved from humans, not vice versa.

Like humans, apes also have a strong spirit of inquiry. Their research in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, medicine and physics is noteworthy.

Apes also (again, like humans) yearn for meaning in life. This is why they devote so much of their time to philosophy, theology and ethics. The religious sentiments and practices of all apes can be traced back to their intense and endless quest for meaning.

Apes are concerned about questions not only of origin but also of destiny. The best proof I can offer for this claim is the maxim by one famous ape philosopher who said, 'Whether my life leads ultimately to the dirt or to the Judgment, either way, I've got a problem.'

Apes also have, like humans, a refined aesthetic sense. They admire beauty and long to surround themselves with it. When an ape cultivates a garden, puts flowers in a vase, or hangs up a painting, what is it doing if not expressing a love of beauty?

Again like humans, apes have a strong creative impulse. This is seen in their poetry, painting, dance, drama and music. To a lesser extent their creativity is also evident in the way they gather in weekly craft groups to weave baskets, spin wool, knit shawls, and cover photo albums.

The sense of humour shared by all apes is another proof of their close kinship to humans. Their delight in the ridiculous and their love of a good laugh is plain from the popular ape jokes they tell.

Reason, language, inquiry, wonder, longing, religion, morality, aesthetics, creativity, imagination, aspiration and humour ... such intangible but fundamental qualities are by no means unique to humans, as I hope I have conclusively shown. Therefore, in the profound words of TIME magazine: 'No single, essential difference separates human beings from other animals'.

This being the case, Christians are plainly wrong to insist that humans and animals are vastly different. And they are also obviously wrong to insist that this difference arises from the fact that God created us humans in His own likeness. And if they are wrong to insist that God made us in His own likeness, then they are wrong to insist that God has any claim on us.
Thank you Marina Melikian for amazing day and great photos.

 '"Imagination...is more important than knowledge.Knowledge is limited.Imagination encircles the world".

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid 1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art challenged tradition by asserting that an artist's use of the mass-produced visual commodities of popular culture is contiguous with the perspective of fine art. 

Pop removes the material from its context and isolates the object, or combines it with other objects, for contemplation. The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.

Pop art employs aspects of mass culture, such as advertising, comic books and mundane cultural objects. It is widely interpreted as a reaction to the then-dominant ideas of abstract expressionism, as well as an expansion upon them.

And due to its utilization of found objects and images it is similar to Dada. Pop art is aimed to employ images of popular as opposed to elitist culture in art, emphasizing the banal or kitschyelements of any given culture, most often through the use of irony.

 It is also associated with the artists' use of mechanical means of reproduction or rendering techniques.
Much of pop art is considered incongruent, as the conceptual practices that are often used make it difficult for some to readily comprehend. Pop art and minimalism are considered to be art movements that precedepostmodern art, or are some of the earliest examples of Postmodern Art themselves.Pop art often takes as its imagery that which is currently in use in advertising. Product labeling and logos figure prominently in the imagery chosen by pop artists, like in the Campbell's Soup Cans labels, by Andy Warhol. Even the labeling on the shipping carton containing retail items has been used as subject matter in pop art, for example in Warhol's Campbell's Tomato Juice Box 1964, (pictured below), or his Brillo Soap Boxsculptures.
This is some of my GCSE Art pieces.

A school is an institution designed for the teaching of students (or "pupils") under the supervision of teachers. Most countries have systems of formal education, which is commonly compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the Regional section below), but generally include primary schoolfor young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught, is commonly called a university college or university.

What do we mean when we say HOME?
