Co Education System in India

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 29, 2022 @ 1:11 am

Co – education is the recent system of education where girls sit and study along with boys in same classes and in a common college. This system was not popular in ancient schools and colleges. At that time, it was not considered appropriate to allow boys and girls study together in same institutions. Rather, boys and girls were sent to separate schools and colleges. Social mixing of boys and girls was not allowed. This was considered essential to maintain the purity of character in them.

Actually the elders of each family consider many disadvantages in co – education and that’s why they are against sending their children or grand – children to such schools and colleges. They think that co – education makes their children absent – minded. The children become indisciplined and the whole atmosphere of the schools and colleges gets polluted.

The boys try all sorts of motions, gestures and songs to attract the attention of the girls. Even the girls tempt the boys for all sorts of indiscipline. Boys do not come for the teachers in the class. They keep combing their hair off and on and waster their time. The boys and girls all try to show themselves as heroes and heroines respectively and are mostly running to cinemas to see latest movies. The educational institutions start presenting a look of fashion parades. All sorts of unsocial and undesirable habits are developed and students forget to listen to their elders or teachers. In such an atmosphere, one cannot expect a good quality character.

Co – education is considered better from social point of view in spite of its various defects as explained above. Such a system of education gives an opportunity to understand each other’s problems and, therefore, can co-operate better in achievement of respective goals. A healthy spirit of working and competing is created by co – education. The boys try to keep a polite and gentle character so as to give a good impression to their girls class – fellows. During their long period of education, they can better understand each other’s psychology and even can choose their life partners from among their class – fellows. In this way, problem of parents to select a suitable match for their children is also solved. The boy and girl educated together make the best match due to their broad attitude towards life and closer understanding of each other’s habits and manners of living, likes and dislikes.

Co – education provides economical and advanced education to girl students. This is because same amount of money is invested to upgrade or provide better equipments and infrastructure in schools and colleges. Otherwise, funds would get diverted for constructing separate schools and colleges for girls. Further, in a free democratic country like India, we cannot deny education to girls along with boys, the girls must also be equally educated. However, where girls students take interest in greater numbers towards studies, there, special separate institutions can be established to impart education of each level and in various professions.

Co – education seems to be good at primary level and higher level in colleges. But due care must be taken at high school and inter-classes where lot of physical and mental changes take place naturally in children. Students must be guided properly to avoid their going astray. Separation between girls and boys can be made taking them into confidence and making them understand any implications. As such, at high school level, co – education can be imparted with able guidance and care. At university level, boys and girls get matured to understand good or bad of each other. So co – education can be very useful from social and economic point of view if given under proper care and guidance.

The Indian Caste System

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 26, 2022 @ 1:09 am

One of my friends, who recently told his dad that he loves a girl and wants to get married to her had to face his dad’s wrath. WHY?

Because she did not belong to his caste!!!

BAFFLING!!!!!!!!!

Oh and get this!! His dad is a senior manager in a major MNC, well educated with a couple of major degrees, earning thousands of dollars every month.. When my friend asked why was caste an issue his dad replied “now if you marry a girl from another caste how can I show my face in our community?”

BAFFLING AGAIN!!!!!!

Two things I want to say to that dad:

1) Your face is your arse anyways, so don’t bother showing it.

2) Where did your education go? What about your 6th standard lesson in Social studies which taught you Caste is a social evil?

The above episode had me thinking about the state of affairs in India and caste system on the whole. If you know about the caste system read this article as I want to share with you a means of fighting this evil. If you don’t know about it, please read this article as well this will keep you away from the evil system and help educate others.

THE CASTE SYSTEM

This is a social evil, born to divide human beings. The system which has come down from ages causing nothing but harm to human beings. How did this system begin? Why do people still follow it? How can one fight this? These are some of the questions which must be asked

India is a great land, a land filled with the most knowledgeable people who have attained complete enlightenment and there are also people who still believe in caste, rituals, ceremonies etc.

ORIGIN OF THE CASTE SYSTEM

The concept of caste is coming down from ages. Ancient India was blessed with many scholars and saints. Scholars who studied the world outside and the world inside (nature of the human mind). These scholars through meditation and concentration, understood their own minds and understood some basic realities of the laws of nature and the human psyche. In ancient India, this was the education which was taught from teacher to pupil and this tradition passed on for many years.

What the ancient saints discovered were that there were four types of people who existed in this world. This categorization was based on how human beings had different mindsets and how that would place them in the social order. The caste system was nothing but a categorization of the social order in society. Based on this understanding human beings were categorized ( Not divided ). Here are the four types of human beings

1) Brahmin: A brahmin is a learned man, who is well versed with the knowledge and wisdom of life. The people studied the ancient scriptures like the Vedas and then passed this knowledge on to the others. The brahmins engaged in attaining the highest spiritual knowledge.

2) Kshatriyas: A Kshatriya is someone who defends the land and the kingdom. These were people who took up soldier jobs in the olden days. These people were warriors who protected society.

3) Vaishyas: These were the business class. cattle raring, trading of goods and services etc. Trade and commerce were handled by this class mostly.

4) Shudras: Shudras are service providers. Plumbers, mechanics etc. These people mostly do the daily jobs of labor. The people in this category have to job of serving the above three categories.

This is the caste system, the categorization of human beings based on social order. Even in today’s society you can classify any human being participating in a social order into any one of these four classes.

HOW DID THIS BECOME EVIL

This concept of the caste system soon became distorted when the system was associated with birth and not the occupation of an individual. Now a brahmin’s son became a brahmin irrespective of his wisdom. A Vaishyas son became Vaishya even if he was wiser than anyone else in this world.

Adding to this, the differentiation was intensified when people started to create a space for themselves and began treating themselves to be much more privileged than the other classes. They did this to gain status in society and safeguard their place in society. The Brahmins declared full right to the Vedas (ancient scriptures supposed to contain divine knowledge) and ensured that only a brahmin would have access to them and not the others. They also considered the birth of a human being in the brahmin clan to be a noble one and that of a Shudra to be a low one.

Soon, the idea of deeds deciding the class of individuals was forgotten and birth deciding the class became a reality. This is how a simple explanation of the social order became evil. Now your job/occupation was decided by birth and not by your deeds. A shudra was not allowed to take up activities related to learning, or defending or commerce. Differentiation began and now society started to split.

EVIL PREVALENT IN INDIA TODAY

India today is still ailing from this disease, called the caste system. I must add that though not as bad as in the ancient days, India still suffers from this. Various people like Swami Vivekananda (cool dude, read about him), Mahatma Gandhi etc have fought it will all their might, the evil still fails to die down. Even today, marriages are arranged based on Caste, one can only get married to someone belonging to his own caste. One will vote for a candidate just because he belongs to his own caste. The most disturbing aspect of this is that its not just the uneducated people who participate in this stupidity. Its even the educated section of the crowd which is as culpable. Ex: My friends Dad

Think about this when your near or dear one has an emergency you look for the best doctor to treat them, you never look for a doctor from your caste. Well apply this every where in life. Differentiating a human being on caste is ridiculous.

Why feel different? Human being is human being. God doesn’t differentiate only humans do. Every human being simply is you. Born(doesn’t matter to whom ), will eventually die. How does caste matter in this cycle?

HOW DO WE FIGHT IT

I am not one of those who like to point the finger at the government to change things. Yes the government has a duty to bring in reforms, but its the equal duty of every individual to bring in the change.

Stop staying quiet when an elder in your family talks bullshit about getting married to someone belonging to your caste, because he feels his ego is at stake. Stop voting for someone just because he belongs to your caste. Vote based on eligibility. Take it heads on wherever you face it in your life.

Fight it!!! It may not be at a macro level, but at least at a family level (micro level) you should take up responsibility and ensure people get rid of this foolishness. Of course your dad or mom or your grandpa may not like it. But realize that you are standing up for a greater purpose, a killing of an evil which has ruined many lives. So be firm and don’t give in. When we change ourselves for good, you will become an example to others and they will also take inspiration to change for good.

Now once you firmly believe that this evil needs to be killed, have lots of sex and pass on your intelligent genes

Take a stand. I stand for killing this evil. Do you?

Equal Education For All American Students

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 23, 2022 @ 1:08 am

This paper argues that for most of the 20th century, schools have constructed multiple categories of “unlikeness” or unlike ability, and that these categories were created or soon appropriated to mean “children who cannot learn together.” Important evidence collected throughout the century, but most especially in the past twenty years, reveals that school categories favoring children’s likeness, rather than their “unlikeness” promise to improve educational fairness and the country’s educational quality. Ability grouping has been bolstered by the argument that equal opportunity in a democracy requires schools to provide each student access to the kind of knowledge and skills that best suit his or her abilities and likely adult lives. To make the argument more palatable in a culture that, rhetorically at least, values classless and colorblind policies, educators and policymakers have reified categorical differences among people. So, in contemporary schools, there are “gifted” students, “average” students, “Title I” students, “learning disabled” students, and so on, in order to justify the different access and opportunities students receive. Assessment and evaluation technology permits schools to categorize, compare, rank, and assign value to students’ abilities and achievements in relationship to one another (as well as to students in other schools, states, and countries-past and present). Homogeneous grouping began in earnest early in the 20th century. It matched the prevailing IQ conception of intelligence, behavioral theories of learning, a transmission and training model of teaching, and the factory model of school organization. It fit with schools’ role in maintaining a social and economic order in which those with power and privilege routinely pass on their advantages to their children. Homogeneous grouping embodied a belief that permeated schooling during the 20th century-that we understand most about students when we look at their differences, and the more differences that can be identified, the better our understanding and teaching. Homogeneous grouping provided policymakers and educators a way to “solve” an array of problems attributed to the growing diversity of students. New immigrants needed to learn English and American ways. Factories needed trained workers. Urban youth needed supervision. And schools needed to continue their traditional role of providing high-status knowledge to prepare some students for the professions. Policymakers defined equal educational opportunity as giving all students the chance to prepare for largely predetermined and certainly different adult lives. Concurrently, two phenomena shaped a uniquely American definition of democratic schooling: (1) universal schooling would give all students some access to knowledge; (2) IQ could justify differentiated access to knowledge as a hallmark of democratic fairness. While most current grouping practices don’t rely on IQ-at least exclusively-the early dependence upon it set a pattern that continues today. Standardized achievement tests, strikingly similar to IQ tests, play an important role in dividing students into ability groups and qualifying students for compensatory education programs; standardized language proficiency tests determine which class “level” is appropriate for limited English students. In conjunction with other measures, IQ remains central in the identification of gifted and cognitively disabled students.

Over the course of the 20th century, compulsory education laws and the necessity of a highschool diploma drew more and more students to school-even those previously considered uneducable. States and local school systems developed an array of special programs for students who, in earlier times, simply would not have been in school. By the 1960s, the federal government had turned to special categorical programs as its principal way to guarantee education for all American students. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provided categorical funding for “educationally deprived” students. Lau et. al. v. Nichols et. al. was brought on behalf of Chinese students in San Francisco and led to legislation requiring that all schools provide special assistance to their students whose native language is not English. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provided funds to classify students with physical and neurological problems and provide these students with special education programs when it was believed that they could not be accommodated in regular programs. Advocates for “gifted” students increasingly used the “bell curve” logic to argue that the gifted and the cognitively disabled are like a pair of bookends, and that those at the high end of the curve also required special support because they are as different from “normal” students as the disabled. Educators responded in culturally predictable ways. They identified students who were “different,” diagnosed their differences as scientifically as possible, and assigned them to a category. They then grouped students for instruction with others in the same category and tailored curriculum and teaching to what each group “needs” and what the culture expects. So, today, educators routinely assign “normal” students to “regular” classes at different levels (e.g., high, average, slow). They place the others in “special” programs for learning disabled, behavioral problems, gifted, limited English, poverty-related academic deficiencies, and more. Within homogenous groups, teachers assume students can move lock step through lessons and that all class members will profit from the same instruction on the same content at the same pace. Lurking just beneath the surface of these highly rationalized practices, however, are the illusion of homogeneity, the social construction of classifications, the prevailing biases of race and social class, and self-fulfilling prophesies of opportunities and outcomes.

The considerable student differences within supposedly homogenous classes are obvious and well documented. And yet, for most people, the characteristics and categories by which students are sorted remain more salient than the “exceptions” that impugn those categories. Many educational constructs, including those used to classify students, began as narrowly defined, highly specialized, technical terms or measures. However, as they make their way from research to professional journals and teacher preparation programs to popular media to the everyday talk of policymakers and the public, they loose their narrow definitions and specialized uses. What may have begun as specific technical concepts or as informal notions such as “at risk,” “gifted,” “high ability,” “college prep,” “attention deficit,” “hyperactive,” “handicapped,” etc. are quickly reified and become a deeply embedded feature of students’ identities in their own and others’ minds. African American, Latino, and low-income students are consistently overrepresented in low-ability, remedial, and special education classes and programs. This is not surprising, given that grouping practices grew from the once accepted practice of preparing students of different racial, ethnic and social-class backgrounds for their separate (and unequal) places in society. In part, placement patterns reflect differences in minority and white students’ learning opportunities that affect their preparation and achievements. But they also reflect the fact that US schools use white, largely middle-class standards of culture and language styles to screen for academic ability and talent. Teachers and school psychologists sometimes mistake the language and dialect differences of Hispanic and Black students for poor language skills, conceptual misunderstandings, or even poor attitudes. An additional hazard for students of color is that schools often confuse cultural differences with cognitive disabilities, particularly retardation. Researchers have noted for the past 25 years that students with identical IQs but different race and social class have been classified and treated very differently in special education placements. The misidentification problem triggered both federal and state court decisions requiring that potentially disabled students receive due process. In a far reaching decision, the California courts ruled in Larry P. v. Wilson Riles (1979) that schools could no longer use intelligence tests to identify minority students as mentally retarded. However, substantial problems remain and new ones emerge, including recent evidence that African American boys are disproportionately identified as having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Placement in a low class becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of low expectations, fewer opportunities, and poor academic performance. Poor performance begins the cycle anew, giving additional justification to schools to reduce expectations and opportunities. Extensive research makes clear that, in every aspect of what makes for a quality education, kids in lower tracks typically get less than those in higher tracks and gifted programs. Finally, grouping practices help shape students’ identities, status, and expectations for themselves. Both students and adults mistake labels such as “gifted,” “honor student,” “average,” “remedial,” “learning disabled,” and “mild mental retardation” for certification of overall ability or worth. Everyone without the “gifted” label has the de facto label of “not gifted.” The resource classroom is a low-status place and students who go there are low status students. The result of all this is that most students have needlessly low self-concepts and schools have low expectations. These recommendations reflect growing support for heterogeneous grouping as necessary to ensure that all students have access to high-quality curriculum, teachers, and learning experiences. For example, early analyses of the disappointing performance of U.S. students on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) support mounting concerns that the low scores stem, in part, from the tracking of most American students in less academically demanding math and science classes. Increasingly, educators and policymakers are developing an awareness that schools cannot teach or achieve social justice unless they eliminate grouping practices. A number of school desegregation cases have cited the practice as a source of continuing racial discrimination. However, this goal will not be accomplished quickly, and policy reports will simply gather dust unless enlightened educators understand and act to change the norms and political relations these grouping practices embody. There is a long, hard road ahead.

Five Tried and True Time Management Tips

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 20, 2022 @ 1:06 am

One thing everyone seems to not have enough of is time. Since you cannot get more time each day, the thing to do is better utilize the time you have. Following are five time management tips that have been utilized for years and continue to work well for those who do them.

Always prioritize what you should get done each day. Be sure to plan for getting key items done that move your most important project to completion or high priorities that help to accomplish your goals. Then do other activities that would be consider your normal job tasks by organizing them with similar a like activities together organize things first
Touch paper or emails only once. In other words do not procrastinate by deciding to “decide later.” If it is something a subordinate can do or another team member enjoys doing, put their name on it and pass it along with minimal instructions. If it is reference material, skim it for what you need then either toss it or file it. If it requires you to reply, then write a note on paper or respond to an email right away with comments, questions, or suggestions.
Schedule high priority or key items into your day during the time you know you have the most energy and do your best work. This goes back to planning your day because you should always give you best efforts towards things that matter in the long run rather than just getting things done. So be sure to use your peak time for important tasks.
Whenever possible, delegate! You do not need to do everything yourself. Allow others to take on projects or tasks that may allow them to grow and learn. You may need to review their work or provide some guidance yourself at first or suggest someone on your team who can guide them through the necessary process. Eventually the subordinate or team member will be able to handle similar work on their own, which frees you for more important tasks.
Make an appointment with yourself for some uninterrupted time each day. Again we go back to planning your day so you accomplish more important things with the time you have. Use this uninterrupted time for strategic planning, project updates, or creative thinking. Even if this is only half an hour, it might help in moving key items forward in a new way, reducing stress, and preventing crisis.

The preceding time management tips have been tested by many people and have proven to work time after time. So if you want more time in your day, try these tips to see if they allow you to get more done by better managing how you work with the time you have.

Math Tutoring – 3 Basics Steps to Master Reading Mathematics Formulas

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 11, 2022 @ 12:56 am

Understanding how to read mathematics formulas requires a basic understanding of the formula vocabulary and how to recognize formula reading patterns. We will focus on how to read Mathematical formulas and learn how this formula reading pattern can be used with formulas from different subjects (i.e. Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Physics). Knowing how to read Mathematics formulas is essential for maximum understanding and easy memory recall.

It is my hope that you will see a pattern with reading formulas across different subjects. Why is seeing a pattern across subjects so important? Students often feel like they are learning something new each time they are introduced to a Math formula in another class or course. Fact remains, the same methods you use to read formulas in Algebra are the exactly same methods used to read formulas in Trigonometry, Physics, Chemistry, Economics, etc. So the key is mastery of reading formulas in Algebra.

Step 1: Understand what a formula is. What is a mathematical formula? An equation (i.e. F = ma) which expresses a general fact, rule, or principle.

Step 2: Identify and learn the basic Mathematics equation vocabulary and use as often as possible while doing problems. A good mathematics educator (e.g. tutor, mentor, teacher, …) will help you engage this vocabulary as you are working on your problems. This vocabulary is useful when reading Math instructions, doing word problems, or solving Math problems. Let’s define a basic set of basic Math formula (equations) vocabulary words below:

Variable – a letter or symbol used in mathematical expressions to represent a quantity that can have different values (i.e. x or P)
Units – the parameters used to measure quantities ( i.e. length(cm, m, in, ft), mass (g, kg, lbs, etc))
Constant – a quantity having a fixed value that does not change or vary
Coefficient – a number, symbol, or variable placed before an unknown quantity determining the amount of times it will be multiplied
Operations – basic mathematical processes including addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/)
Expressions-a combination one or more numbers, letters and mathematical symbols representing a quantity. (i.e. 4, 6x, 2x+4, sin(O-90))
Equation – An equation is a statement of equality between two mathematical expressions.
Solution – an answer to a problem (i.e. x = 5)

Step 3: Read formulas as a complete thought or statement-do not ONLY read the letters and symbols in a formula. What do I mean? Most people make the repeated error of reading the letters in a formula rather than reading what the letters represent in the formula. This may sound simple, but this simple step allows a student to engage the formula. By reading the letters and symbols only, one cannot associate the formula with particular vocabulary words or even the purpose of the formula.

For example, most people read the formula for area of a circle (A = “pi”r2) just as it is written – A equals pi r squared. Instead of just reading the letters and symbols in the formula, we propose reading formulas like A = “pi”r2 as a complete thought using all the descriptive words for each letter: The area (A) of a circle is (=) pi multiplied by the radius (r) of the circle squared. Do you see how the formula is a complete statement or thought? Therefore, one should read formulas as a complete statement (thought) as often as possible. It reinforces what the formula means in the mind of the reader. Without a clear association of Math formulas with their respective vocabulary, it makes applications of those formulas near impossible.

Example of formulas and the subjects where they are introduced:

PRE-ALGEBRA – Area of Circle: A = “pi”r2
The area (A) of a circle is pi multiplied by the radius (r) of the circle squared
o A- area of the circle
o “pi” – 3.141592 – ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle
o r- the radius of the circle

ALGEBRA – Perimeter of a Rectangle: P = 2l+ 2w
Perimeter (P) of a rectangle is(=) 2 times the length(l) of the rectangle plus 2 times the width (w) of the rectangle.
o P- perimeter of the rectangle
o l- measure of longest
o w- measure of shortest

GEOMETRY – Triangles Interior Angles Sum Theorem: mÐ1 + mÐ2 + mÐ3 = 180
The measure of angle 1 (mÐ1), plus the measure of angle 2 (mÐ2) plus the measure of angle 3 (mÐ3) of a triangle is 180 degrees.
o mÐ1 – perimeter of the rectangle
o mÐ2 – measure of a side
o mÐ3 – measure of the width

Knowing the units for each quantity represented in these formulas plays a key role in solving problems, reading word problems, and solution interpretations, but not merely reading the formulas.

Use these steps as a reference and learn how to read Mathematics formulas more confidently. Once you master the basics of formulas, you will be a Learner4Life in different subjects that use Math formulas!

Learn Mathematics

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 8, 2022 @ 12:55 am

Education is one of the most important things here on earth; people are always searching for answers and education play an important role in this endeavor; education will help us discover and explore everything with the use of logic and reason. In this light, education should be prioritized by all individual and should be promoted by all states as well. Of course if the individual acquired certain education and knowledge, wider opportunities are in store for them right? Education is very crucial in the development and growth of every individual therefore the role of the state is to plan and implement programs to help and assist individual earn and have the education they deserve. As you may notice, the state is allotting budget every year for the education system to make improvements and make it better. In every sense of the word, education is defined as the process of the society that seeks to transmit every grain of knowledge to every generation; moreover it comprises acts that are geared toward molding the kid’s physical, mental and social functions.

The education system is providing their students with reliable people, equipments and materials that will surely help in the success of this endeavor. Educating a child happens in the classroom but modern teaching strategies consider immersing the child outside to learn and see the real world. In almost every learning experience of a child, there are experienced teachers to guide their way which makes it effective. Aside from teachers, the institution should give importance to learning the fun and dynamic way through some technologies, equipment and other tools available. Most importantly, there are materials that can help you in the process. These materials can be considered in many subject matters that include music, science, children’s literature, character education, puzzles, language arts, social studies and even mathematics.

It is important that the above mentioned subjects should be prioritized. For instance, mathematics. Mathematics transcend to more than traditional and simple counting for it encompasses analysis and critical thinking through the use of abstraction; it is a system that is widely used by almost every field such as natural science, engineering, social science, medicine and other crucial studies. There are people that consider math difficult but if you persist, everything will work out just fine. Learning mathematics is easy if you consider some help; there are quite a number of teacher supply. You can also provide your students with preschool furniture for their comfort.With the help of school supplies and furniture, learning math can be fun and interesting. Math will play an important part in our life so it should not be despised.

These materials are not that expensive so you can have many. Indeed education is more effective with the help of these materials. Remember that education is the most important thing in this world and as a parent and teacher, the least thing that you can do for your students is to provide them with a comfortable environment with equipment and materials necessary for the success.

His Most Famous Painting (The Science of Laziness) – Frank Stella

Posted in Education by anshbookstore on August 5, 2022 @ 12:52 am

American painter and print maker, Frank Stella (born May 1936) specializes in the art of ‘Post-painterly Abstraction’ and ‘Minimalism.’ He has been a torchbearer of these innovative modern techniques that refuse to follow the conformist art. ‘Post-painterly Abstraction’ refers to a form of painting, which finds its origins in ‘Abstract Expressionism.’ It uniqueness is attributed to its representation of symmetric geometrical patterns, often set in vibrant color combinations, which could be as few as only two color tones. ‘Minimalism’ is an associate movement of ‘Post-painterly Abstraction,’ which is a form of visual art, where the fundamental features of the work are brought to fore. It belongs to the genre of ‘Modernism’ and carries its underlying methodology of ‘reduction.’ In 1984, Stella came up with his revolutionary work “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia),” which is currently put up for display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC.

This large relief, “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia),” is created over a canvas base with varied media. It makes the use of oil paint, enamel paint, which has the property of drying into a tough, yet shiny finish, and alkyd paint. Alkyd is a form of modified polyester, having a property of drying up on a glossy surface, but with greater flexibility in surface than in the case of enamel paint. Stella’s creative use of three types of paint was specifically designed to add grades in the appearance of colors and give the piece a truly eclectic appearance. Other media employed are etched magnesium, aluminum, and fiberglass (extremely thin glass in fibrous form, known for its strength and optical properties).

Etching is a process in which the surface of a metal is cut, using acid or mordant, to create engravings or different shapes. The prominent colors that adorn the background of “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia)” are red, blue, green, and brown. On the left edge of the piece, a white semicircular disc is pasted with brush strokes of red and green. A conical, fan-like structure, with striation, is pasted towards the upper side of the disc. The left side of the ensemble features three cylindrical structures, radiating from the center, yet randomly placed one over the other. In line with Stella’s fascination with striped patterns, all three cylinders have the vertical bands of varying width. A flat and elongated abstract piece is glued to the top of the assemblage that covers the entire breadth of the work. It is painted in bluish-white paint, adding a masterstroke to the work.

Frank’s association with unorthodox art gave him the opportunity to experiment with his ripe imagination for creating some of the most arresting works such as “The Science of Laziness (La scienza della pigrizia,” being the best example.
