Tuesday In-Class Work

For my well developed article I choose to look at Agatha Christie's Wikipedia page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agatha_Christie#References

1. Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference?

Yes. Mainly all of the references on Agatha Christie's Wikipedia page came from sources such as articles from newspapers, book reviews, and scholarly articles. These facts did not necessarily come from individual people, but instead articles and passages.

2. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you?

Not everything in the article is entirely relevant to the article topic. Although the article is about Agatha Christie, it did not always focus on her literary works and her theatre productions, but instead it would trail off often and talk about her personal life which is not technically in relation to her work as a female writer but her personal life did spark a lot of ideas for her writings.

3. Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?

I wasn't able to read the entire article because it is pretty well developed but from what I could read I gathered that the article seemed to be neutral. There were not any instances where I noticed an author appearing biased about Agatha Christie in any way.

4. Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that biased noted?

The information comes from mostly scholarly articles, articles about her literary works, etc. So the sources seem like they would be neutral unless it was a source that had a biased opinion of her, but for the most part the articles tended to really state the facts about her and her work rather than giving their opinion of her.

5. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?

I think the criticism of her literary works was underrepresented. I don't know whether that is a good or a bad thing but there are many sections just talking about how great she was perceived as a writer and then at the end there is a tiny section that briefly mentions the writers who criticized her work.

6. Check a few citations. Do the links work? Is there any close paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article? Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added?

All of the citations that I checked seemed to be well working, well written, and pretty reliable and unbiased sources.

Annotated Bliography on Germaine Émilie Krebs by Elena Grimm

Menkes, Suzy. "Madame Grès as Sculptor." The New York Times. The New York Times, 19 Apr. 2011. Web. 31 Mar. 2015.

• She had an exhibit at the Musée Bourdelle called “Madame Grès: Couture at Work”in 2011 showcasing dresses such as goddess evening gowns
• Daytime wear have the allure of simplicity and complicity: subtly hidden couture work and a respect for the female body.
• Madame Grès business was liquidated and the name bought by the Japanese company Yagi Tsusho in the late 1980s.
• Mr. Alaïa collected archive pieces,including the period between 1934-42 when the designer’s house was known as “Alix”, for the Fashion Museum in Marseille.
• Duchess of Orleans or of Windsor and Hubert de Givenchy were notable clients.
• The final creation of Madame Grès was a swelling-bodice dress ordered in 1989 by Hubert de Givenchy
• The simplicity and minimalistic effects are what she is known for
• This article would be useful in describing the techniques and designs Madame Gres specialized in

Sage, Alexandria. "Madame Gres Paris Exhibit Is Ode to Draped Fashion." Reuters. Reuters, 8 July 2011. Web. 31 Mar. 2015.

• This celebrated couturier, who pleated and draped her way through a half-century career in fashion, the art of meticulously folding fabric over the body to create dramatic sculpted forms elevated craft to art.
• Dresses include styles from modest Grecian simplicity to the avant-garde
• 20th century designer for whom simplicity and perfection, rather than ostentation, were lifetime goals.
• Purity of form, expert craftsmanship and an unwavering belief in her vision allowed Gres to find success making essentially the same neoclassical dress over and over
• Gres, had wanted to be a sculptor but ended up spending a lifetime exploiting the myriad possibilities of draping fabric. She took the name Gres, the alias of her Russian painter husband.
• First gaining notoriety in 1935 with the costumes for Jean Giraudoux's Surrealist play, "The Trojan War Will Not Take Place," she began to design under the name "Alix."
• her gowns were worn by the glitterati from Marlene Dietrich
• Gres could take 2.8 meters (9 feet) of fabric and reduce it through pleating to 7 cm (2.8 inches). That provided not only volume, but an inner structure that required no corseting or reinforcements.
• With her generous use of fabric in wartime, she angered the Germans, who ordered her Paris shop to close.
• Gres's signature work is two oversized billowing sleeves that burst forth from the shoulders and the humble pleat
• This article features and details a lot of work done by Madame Gres and what was on display in Musee Galliera of fashion

Di Trocchio, Paola. "Madame Gres: Couturier At Work." Fashion Theory The Journal Of Dress, Body & Culture Volume: 18 Issue: 4 (2014): Academic OneFile. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.

• Grès trained as a sculptor and applied her training to her fabric forms, yet in interviews she denied the influence of the classical
• History labelled her queen of drapery, a title she hated
• Grès, a private and infinitely complex woman, preferred her dresses to be read for themselves
• statuesque, light in color, classically inspired, and its asymmetrical folds sensuously wrapped the bod (overall style)
• for her it was the same thing to work in fabric or in stone
• Grès was not only a classicist, but also an expert colorist and tailor.
• Grès was exposed as a sculptor not just of fabric, but of metal, with jewels in silver and gold crafted into collars and wreaths.
• First called Germaine Emilie Krebs, then Alix, Alix Barton, Alix Grès, and finally Madame Grès, she was as much a creation as her dresses. She adopted the name of her employer, Barton, and then the moniker of her husband, Grès. This was an anagram of his first name, Serge, which appropriately means stone. Much like her contemporary Chanel, she excelled at the art of invention

Cooke, Lynne. "Madame Grès. New York." The Burlington Magazine 2008: 360. JSTOR Journals. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.

• She died mired in obscurity, isolation and poverty in the south of France
• Famously secretive, Gres chose to veil, if not deliberately misrepresent, the principal facts of her life on the rare occasions that she was willing to be interviewed.
• her first business was founded at the beginning of the 1930s under the name of Alix, was sold during the Second World War in a period of great personal privation; the second, the couture house which she operated from the end of the War under the signature of Madame Gres, rapidly declined after her retirement in 1987, and closed shortly there after. (Poor business dealings meant that she also lost the fortune she built on the basis of the first of her licensing deals, the perfume 'Cabochard'

meaning pig-headed or stub born - launched in 1959.)

• her daughter Anne not only concealed the fact of her mother's death but impersonated her in written exchanges
• her stylistic hallmarks, a clear contour that reveals and enhances the female form beneath, and dexterous draping that encourages fluid graceful motion.
• Although celebrated in the 1930s for an approach to draping that dispensed with corsets and padding, she proved far from indifferent to the impact of Dior's New Look in the immediate post-War years
• Gres, by contrast, was attracted by the simple structures of certain regional traditions of dress in particular saris, kimonos and serapes.
• Great article that details the timeline of her career, inspirations and her notable styling

"The graceful drapings of Madame Gres New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art honours the last of the great couturieres." Globe & Mail (Toronto, Canada) 1994: Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.

• Achievements honored in an exhibition, titled Madame Gres, at The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1994
• early in life wanted to be a sculptor. Her family objected. Instead, she turned her hands to shaping dressmaker's material
• silk jersey and paper taffeta being two of her preferred media.
• In the early thirties, under the name of Alix Barton, she established her own couture house and with it the signature of that house, gowns exquisitely moulded in classical drapery
• her interest in creating, directly on a mannequin, garments to hold ingeniously and gracefully to the human form.
• Gres had "little relation to the fashions of the moment," and that a Gres show was always "a long-drawn-out, tense pyschological struggle
• Gres was such a purist, such a perfectionist, that she anguished until the last minute and often sent out clothes that were half- finished.
• panels of jersey, of neck-to-hemline length, were pleated, hand-stitched in place, gathered tightly towards the waist and thereafter released to fall in gentle folds
• The dimension and contour of the Gres jacket from 1935 echoes in one that John Galliano presented last month. A 1949 ensemble of bustled tartan skirt and a jacket sectioned into curves is comparable to outfits that Vivienne Westwood has proposed for next spring. The spherical incisions in the bodice of a late-sixties angora-jersey gown suggest the sort of surgery Geoffrey Beene has lately performed.

FOREMAN, KATYA. "A Glimpse Of Grès." WWD: Women's Wear Daily 201.62 (2011): 8-1. Business Source Complete. Web. 2 Apr. 2015.

• Working rarely with patterns, she constructed designs directly on the body.
• designer as a pioneer of sophisticated minimalism.
• Madame Grès essentially reworked the same dress, pursuing her ideal of the seamless garment with economy of line and volume. The designer was also a great colorist, using a broad palette of hues, from sand to sun yellow, bluebell, raspberry and coral.
• Known as a designer's designer, Grès' heyday was in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties. But she also saw a comeback in the Seventies, with Yves Saint Laurent and Issey Miyake among advocates of her work. Marlene Dietrich, the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly and Paloma Picasso were among the label's fans.
• Grès' creations were extremely light, supple and unstructured
• the designer liked her models to wear her dresses without underwear, as she wanted the clothes to be in direct contact with skin.
• her focus remained riveted on one thing: couture dresses, which she continued to design into her 80s
• She is remembered as a fiercely private, strong-willed workaholic who preferred to let her creations do the talking.
• The late designer named her bestselling fragrance after herself, baptizing it Cabochard, which translates as “stubborn.”
• Grès died in obscurity in 1993 in a retirement home near Toulon, France, a few days before her 90th birthday. Her death was only made public a year after the event.

• The couturière Madame Grès is a French fashion legend, famous for her draped ‘Grecian’ gowns and stunning silhouettes.
• Over her working life of six decades, Grès lived like a monk
• In 1972, by a unanimous vote, she was elected head of Paris couture’s Chambre Syndicale. Four years later, that body gave her its highest award. Yet she was resolute in shunning all publicity
• each robe consumed enormous amounts of jersey, the final shapes exuded sensuous, fluid charm.
• Grès worked directly on live models, cutting and pinning each of her creations by hand.
• During the 50s, Grès was inspired by ethnic traditions; she explored their histories for simpler cuts and purer lines
• During the 70s, Grès pared away her drapes to highlight naked flesh.
• In 1986, she unveiled a dress that was made without stitching.
• All were merely versions of her singleminded vision, a very exact idea of the feminine that eschewed all artifice.
• her training at Maison Premet – a house founded at the time when couture was defining itself. For Grès, it was a high art, requiring ‘extreme perfection’.

Rachel published Only the Innocent in November 2011. It raced up the UK charts to reach the top 100 within 12 weeks and quickly hit the #1 spot in the Amazon Kindle chart (all categories) and remained there for four weeks.

Only the Innocent has been shifting more than 3,000 copies a day on Amazon. Contrast that with the 2,230 a day managed by last week's top-selling paperback, SJ Watson's Before I Go to Sleep. You can understand why the sight of a self-published writer would make a publisher run for the hills: Rachel Abbott and her ilk are the ghosts of publishing future.

• Sets out to explore the subjective experience of thinking, by drawing evidence from both the arts and science to investigate the nature of mental time travel and mechanisms we use to reminisce about the past and think about the future
• Their goal to illuminate ideas concerning memories and question the power of analysis and sense we make of the environments in which we find

ourselves

• Her expertise as a scientist lies in the contemporary study of how animals and children think. This work has led to a re-evaluation of the cognitive capacities of animals, particularly birds, and resulted in a theory that intelligence evolved independently in at least two distantly related groups, the apes and the crows. She has also pioneered new procedures for the experimental study of memory and imagination in animals, investigating its relationship to human memory and consciousness, and how and when these abilities develop in young children.
• Nicky is also a dancer, specializing in tango and salsa. In addition to her role as scientist in residence to Rambert, Britain’s flagship contemporary dance company, she collaborates with Mark Baldwin, the artistic director of Rambert, on new choreographic works inspired by science, including the Laurence Olivier Award-winning Comedy of Change, Seven For A Secret Never To Be Told, and What Wild Ecstasy.

• For the past 3 years, Clayton has worked with the Rambert Dance Company as science collaborator, then scientific adviser and now scientist-in-residence, she spends two days a week with the London-based company
• Clayton became involved in a dance piece called The Comedy of Change in 2009 - the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species - which was "inspired by Darwin's ideas of natural and sexual selection".
• She met choreographer and artistic director Mark Baldwin, she recalls, and "brainstormed ideas about science that could inform the piece.

• their new science-inspired programme is based on the psychology of children, which has also been part of Clayton's research at Cambridge's Department of Experimental Psychology since 2002.
• Clayton singled out three themes related to the behavioural development of children, which have helped to inspire the choreography, namely, inside versus outside, how imitation leads to innovation, and the importance of play.
• Inside–outside refers to the fact that young children see the world very differently to that of adults. “As children develop, the tension between the inside and outside world shifts in perspective, and slowly but surely children start to see the world as adults do.”
• to be an individual you need to know when to innovate, when to do and see things differently, and how to get creative. Indeed the dichotomy between copying other people's behaviour and developing your own individual approach is a crucial part of growing up.
• Play is a way of allowing children to explore the world and ideas, and develop all kinds of important skills for dealing with life's problems.
• Clayton and Baldwin also share a deep interest in the musical foundations of dance.
• Clayton continues to study the intelligence of corvids. Much research has shown the remarkable intelligence of members of the Corvus genus, such as crows and rooks, but Clayton has shown that tool use can also occur in other members of the Corvidae, specifically in the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius).
• Clayton's group has also demonstrated that corvids can plan for the future in ways that were thought to be unique to humans (Nature (2007), 445, 919–921). In their most recent publication, Cheke and Clayton show that Eurasian jays can distinguish two separate future needs and plan for them accordingly, even if it conflicts with present motivations
