Brighton has transformed itself several times since the Middle Ages: once a small fishing village, it became the most fashionable seaside resort in the 18th century, a thriving tourist destination in the railway age and a liberal, multicultural university city in the 20th century. 200 years ago the party-loving King George IV built himself the playground of all royal playgrounds here: an oriental fantasy of a palace with onion-shaped domes and an exotic faux-Chinese interior, the Royal Pavilion. Today Brighton, together with its surroundings, is culturally one of the most exciting places in Britain, boasting an impressive coast, lined with chalk cliffs and the rolling South Downs as a backdrop. Just 10 kilometres east of Brighton is the picturesque county town of Lewes, with a stunning array of historic buildings, including an 11th-century Norman castle. The people of Lewes are known for their revolutionary spirit, and host the biggest bonfire celebration in the country every year on 5 November.

A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry covers the period 1800 to 1920, when the world embraced color like never before. Inventions, such as steam power, lithography, photography, electricity, motor cars, aviation, and cheaper color printing, all contributed to a new exuberance about color. Available pigments and colored products - made possible by new technologies, industrial manufacturing, commercialization, and urbanization - also greatly increased, as did illustrated printed literature for the mass market. Color, both literally and metaphorically, was splashed around, and became an expressive tool for artists, designers, and writers. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture and interiors; and artefacts. Alexandra Loske is Curator at the Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton, UK Volume 5 in the Cultural History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf

Discover the story of colour through the significant scientific discoveries and key artist's works over 400 years. From Isaac Newton's investigations through to Olafur Eliasson's experiential creations, this stunning book documents the fascinating story of colour with an extraordinary collection of original colour material that includes charts, wheels, artists' palettes, swatches and schemes. "In 1704, the scientist Isaac Newton published Opticks, the result of many years of researching light and colour. By splitting white light, Newton identified the visible range of colours, or the rainbow spectrum. In Opticks, he built a colour system around his findings, and he visualised this system in a circular shape, making it one of the first printed colour wheels. The influence of Newton and his followers, combined with the invention of many new pigments as well as watercolours in moist cake form, had made painting with colour an exciting occupation not just for serious artists but also for a much wider audience. The colour revolution had begun." Contents Introduction 1. Unravelling the Rainbow: The Eighteenth-Century Colour Revolution 2. Romantic Ideas & New Technologies: The Early Nineteenth Century 3.

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 1997 im Fachbereich Sozialpadagogik / Sozialarbeit, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen (unbekannt, Musikpadagogik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Einleitend wird der Begriff Jugend als sozialpadagogisches Aufgabenfeld umrissen und eine mogliche Anwendung von Musik aufgezeigt. Daraufhin werden die Wirkungen von Musik allgemein und fur den Jugendlichen insbesondere aufgezeigt. Dabei finden die Aspekte Personlichkeitsentwicklung, psychische und physische Musikauswirkungen, Musik als Kommunikationsphanomen sowie der Zusammenhang von Musikerleben und Korpersprache Beachtung. Als Hauptaspekte sozialpadagogischer Arbeit kristallisieren sich soziale Interaktion und kommunikative Moglichkeiten durch Musikerleben heraus, deren Ursachen im besonderen Verhaltnis der Jugendlichen zur Musik liegen. Die sozialpadagogisch initiierte Diskothek der offenen Jugendarbeit kann als Ort gezielter sozial-kompensatorischer Einflussnahme, einen Ausgangspunkt fur eine Reihe von Aktionen mit Musik, wie beispielsweise eigentatiges Musizieren auf selbstgebauten Instrumenten, bieten. Die Projekte mit Jugendlichen aus den Bereichen Obdachlosensiedlung, Jugendstrafanstalt und Heimerziehung verdeutlichen hingegen die Arbeit in geschlossenen Institutionen sowie deren restriktiven Bedingungen. Empirische Feldforschung in Form von Interviews in einer sozialpadagogisch initiierten Jugenddiskothek sowie einer Fragebogenaktion im Jugendtreff Hasenbergl, einem sozialen Brennpunkt Munchens, bestatigte die Hypothese der Losung von Alltagsproblemen durch Musikkonsum bei Jugendlichen im Sinne der Verdrangung oder Sublimierung.
