  1. An ECG of Martha’s heart demonstrated an elevated ST segment., What are the physiologic effects of myocardial ischemia that produce this finding? ,What variables affect the ECG tracing of a patient with ACS?,
  2. What are the benefits of administering fibrinolytic therapy nitroglycerin and oxygen in the early management of STEMI?,
  3. What is the inflammatory response in the postinfarction recovery period?, Why will Martha’s heart function be compromised after her STEMI?,

 

Martha had just finished dinner with her husband, and they had just sat down to watch television. She is 72 years old and has had a history of angina. Shortly after they sat down, Martha said she had indigestion and went to take some antacid tablets. An hour later, she began to feel warm, restless, and anxious. Her husband noticed she was looking pale and said he would take her to a nearby walk-in clinic. By the time they arrived, Martha said her left arm and shoulder were sore. Suspecting Martha was having a heart attack, her husband turned the car around and rushed her to the hospital. Three hours after the onset of her symptoms, Martha was receiving oxygen, fibrinolytic therapy, and nitroglycerin in the emergency ward. Afterward, she was moved to the cardiac unit for STEMI.

The main goal of this assignment is to help you practice visual description, an important component of visual analysis. Your job is to describe not just what you see (i.e., the content or subject) but how, visually, the subject matter is depicted. Visual description requires that you convey the formal or visual properties of a work in words, and this can present some challenges. In a few weeks, you have a Visual Analysis Paper due, so your work here will help prepare you for that assignment.

Look carefully at your chosen work. For each of the elements below, write approximately 2-4 complete sentences. Spend some time observing and brainstorming before you write your responses. The questions are intended to help you identify and describe the major visual elements in the piece. You should aim for clarity, precision, and specificity in your descriptions.

 

 

Visual Description

Subject Matter

What does the image portray? ,What is the nature of the setting and the figures’ identities if discernible?, Are there significant poses or gestures that indicate the subject or action?, Does the scene allude to a larger narrative?, Is there a sense of imminent or unfolding action? ,Or does the scene appear to be removed from the flow of time?, Is there background scenery and if so how is it represented?

 

 

 

 

Scale

What is the size of the work? Does the size convey or suggest anything about the status of the subject matter or impact its interpretation? What is the scale in relation to the viewer? Is the viewer dominated by it, or can one hold or handle the object?

 

 

 

 

Medium & Materials

What is the medium of the work? Are there multiple media or materials used? Are the materials costly or inexpensive and everyday? Does the artist’s handling of the materials bring out any special properties or characteristics of the medium or materials?

 

 

 

 

Composition

How are the different elements of the subject arranged on the pictorial surface? How do they visually relate to each other? For instance, are there repeated shapes, lines or patterns? Is there a dominant vertical, horizontal or diagonal structure that organizes the image? All these things are part of “composition.”  

 

 

 

 

 

Space

Does the artist create a structured “stage” for the scene or is space more vague? Does the artist create the illusion that the space is a continuation of our own? Is space portrayed as shallow, deep, or flat? Is it densely packed with solid forms or is it open or empty?

 

 

 

 

Line

Are there strong linear elements in the work—created, for example, by certain motifs, gestures, etc.? Do horizontal or vertical lines predominate? Are lines curved or angular, sharply contoured or blurry and indistinct? Do they create key connections and/or divisions in the composition?

 

 

 

 

Color & Light

What is the role(s) of color? Has the artist used a limited or wide range of colors? Do the colors unify or create contrasts between different elements of the work? Is there a consistent, identifiable light source in the image? Does it illuminate and clarify and/or obscure elements of the work? Does light suggest volume (through illusionistic shading)? Is the scene evenly illuminated?

 

 

 

 

 

Visual Emphasis

What elements or motifs get special emphasis in the work? How is this visual emphasis created?

 

 

 

 

Viewer’s Relationship to the Work

What is the spectator’s relationship to the scene? What point of view does the image assign to the viewer—do we look up, down, or directly at the scene? Do we encounter it from nearby or far away? Does the scene appear to take place on another level of reality or is it continuous with our space? Do elements of the work invite the viewer into the scene? Or do they keep the spectator at a distance? Does the size of the work impact how spectators would view the work?

 

 

 

 

Conclusions & Assessments

Here, you will practice using your descriptive observations to start building an analysis. Using your responses above, suggest three ways that the work’s visual qualities create certain meanings or effect(s) or encourage particular interpretations of the subject matter.

  1. Copy and paste the number of rows of data equal to your number, including all columns, into your new Excel file.
  2. Save this data set as STData_firstinitial_lastname (e.g., STData_J_Smith).
  3. Create two new columns: one labeled BMI Smokers and one labeled BMI Nonsmokers.
  4. Sort the data by smoking status and copy paste all BMI data for smokers into the appropriate column and all BMI data for nonsmokers in the appropriate column.

The Creating a data set video will walk you through the process of making your own data set.

Creating graphical display of data

Your newly created data set will be used to compare the BMI of smokers to non-smokers. Create the following graphs in Excel:

  1. Using the column labeled Smoker (not sorted by smoking status), create an appropriate graphical display to clearly show the breakdown of smokers and nonsmokers in your data set.
  2. Copy and paste your graph from Excel here. Write a one-sentence interpretation of what the graph displays.
  3. Create a histogram for the column labeled BMI (not broken down by smoking status). Use a bin width of 2. Start the bins at your minimum data point as appropriate for your data set. Write a one-sentence interpretation of what the graph displays.
  4. Create two modified box plots for BMI, one for smokers one for nonsmokers. Write a one-sentence interpretation of what the graph displays.

Descriptive statistics

Use the data analysis tool pack to create two tables of descriptive statistics, one for smokers and one for nonsmokers, using the columns created in Step 7 in the preparation portion.

Use these statistics to answer the following questions comparing smokers to nonsmokers. Be sure to provide values from your Excel output to support your reasoning.

  1. Which group has an BMI that is typically higher? Be sure to write at least one sentence justifying your reasoning including values from the excel output.
  2. Which group has greater variation in their BMI? Be sure to write at least one sentence justifying your reasoning including values from the excel output.
  3. Do you suspect any outliers are present in the BMI for each group? Be sure to justify your reasoning.
