Firstly, the univariate graph of urban rate frequency shows that there are more countries have less or equal to 60% urban rate.

Secondly, the univariate graph of life expectancy rate frequency is unimodal, with its highest peak at the category “from 70 included to 80 years old”.

Concerning to the income type, the graph is unimodal. It seems to be skewed to the left as there are higher frequencies in the lowest range.

Through the “association between income type and urban rate” scatter plot and histogram graphs, we found that the income for the countries which have low urban rate (less then 60%) are mostly in the first income category ( less then 6 000 dollars per person per year). However, for the countries which have relative higher urban rate ( more then 60%) have a wider spread (standard deviation) in terms of income among the countries then the low rate urban rate group. What’s more, all the high income countries are in second urban rate group (more then 60%).

Concerning the relationship between income type and life expectancy, it shows that from the scatter plot graph, there is a trend positive between the two variables. There is a clear relation ship specially for the countries those life expectancy have more then 70 years old. The more income they have, the longer life expectancy they have.

The Establishing Image

The establishing image is vital to the introduction of the photo story. It’s the first image that magazines and newspapers will use to introduce the reader to the feature article. It may be a wide, it may be an observed portrait. It might contain many people or a single person or even none at all. However, its singular importance is to illustrate the pages that proceed it to introduce a story, so therefore, it MUST contain INFORMATION.

For this assignment, I have three topic briefs to photograph; Community; Isolation; and Urban Regeneration. I have the Christmas holidays and a couple weeks once I am back at uni to complete these shoots. The Christmas season will provide good ideas for the ‘community’ shoot, as there will be various events and festivals on within cities and towns.

 The first part of the Mark Unity assignment was to choose a portion of a bristle board paper with a variety of movement, shapes, and shades of black. From there, on my 5inch x 6inch piece, I had to focus on a 1 inch by 1 1/4 inch part, mark it and let my instructor expand it on a regular copy.

 The second part of the Mark Unity assignment was to use the copy and the small original portion as a guide for when I was making my second piece; this piece had to have marks of the same size going in the same direction, while only being able to use space and density to emphasize the general form.

 The results are as seen.

Ethnic History of Andalucia and Flamenco

Andalucia is a region of rich agricultural and mining wealth. From around 900 BC, Phoenician trading colonies were attracted to places such as Cadiz but then around the 7th century BC, the Phoenicians gave rise to the Tartessos civilization in western Andalucia. Around the time from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, Andalucia was governed by Cordoba and was considered one the wealthiest and most civilized areas of the Roman Empire. This caused Rome to begin to import Andalucian products such as olives, fish and minerals. In addition to products such as those aforementioned, it also gave Rome two emperors, Trajan and Hadrian.

Andalucia is a region with immense history considering its geographical location adjacent to the Strait of Gibraltar that runs through Spain and Africa. Therefore it is the reason for being a historical, as well as the location for religious mixture, region. It was the base for Muslim invaders that came from Africa in 711, onto the Iberian Peninsula; then until the 11th century, Cordoba; then Seville until the 13th; and finally Granada until the 15th century, which led it to be considered the leading city of Islamic Spain.

The Andalucian region is composed of the cities: Granada, Cordoba and Sevilla, among others. In the 10th century, Cordoba was considered to be the most cultured city in Western Europe because in and of itself it contained in coexistence three different cultures: Muslims, Jews and Christians. This may be the reason why Islamic civilization lasted longer than anywhere else on the Iberian Peninsula. Even the name “Andalucia” comes from a medieval name referring to the Muslim areas, ‘Al-Andalus.’

In 1492, however, previously ruled by Muslims, fell to the Catholic Monarchs, Fernando and Isabel. It just so happen for it to be the same year the Christopher Columbus arrived to the Americas and led to great wealth arising in Seville and later Cadiz, which were the Andalucian ports through which Spain’s trade with the Americas was conducted.

Andalucia is a region of rich culture and is the region attributed to the city where Flamenco originated and was born. The word “Flamenco” means the song, the dance and the guitar, did not come into use until the 18th century but flamenco is said to have been around before that time undocumented and only known from stories that have been passed down through families and word of mouth.
