Visual motifs in diverse Cultures

Visual motifs in diverse Cultures

Post has two assignments

1:Frank Llloyd Wright

Paper details:

Frank Lloyd Wright relied on basic geometry—primary forms—that he considered had symbolic meaning. These primary forms can be observed around the globe and over time.

How can we explain the presence of similar visual motifs in diverse cultures? If differing cultures have the same motifs, are the meanings of these motifs the same? If not, why not? Cite specific examples in your discussion. In referring to visual motifs, consider not only surface patterns, like the frets, but also larger elements as part of architectural form.

2:Economics

Order Description

Write a 1600 word summary and evaluation of the article below. A “review essay” is a summary of your own words of the article, together with an appraisal of it. Your review essay should be about 60% summary and 40% appraisal. Summary means you summarize the main points and explain the chosen article in your own words. Figures, tables, or equations in the article may not be included in your essay. Appraisal means you express your thoughts about the article. For example, whether the article is full of insightful remarks, whether the article gives adequate consideration/analysis of the main issues, or if the article covers too much or too little ground, any additional aspects should be included in the article.

The Article:

Dave, S., Shirvaikar, A., and G. Baxter (2016), Releasing the Flow of Digital Money: Hitting the Tipping Point of Adoption, Imperial College, London, and Citigroup.
