“What is this?”
Said the small girl clinging to her mother’s thin leg, “ Well, this piece of pottery is called the the Ancient Greece Drinking Vessel.” Her hands swinging around while trying to explain the artwork to this little girl and her family. The little girl looking confused as ever. The docent gave a little smile and a laugh, “ Maybe a little to complicated for you huh?”
The little girl nodded her small head in response.
“Well I think I can make this a little bit easier to understand for you, How bout’ that?”
The girl smiled and laughed and the docent stood up and met the mother’s eyes, she gave her a small smile.
“ Well, you know that pitcher that your mom puts your favorite lemonade in?”
She laughed, “ YES! My favorite lemonade!”

Well, this is a smaller version of the pitcher only they people that lived a while ago called it a vessel.”
The confused look on the girl’s face started to fade away. She started to smile and look up at her mom to find her smiling as well at how well she was with her daughter.
“Thing cool thing is back way, way before you were born” Her hands moving past the little girl as a guster to define ‘way, way’, “ it was much smaller and it was used to pour wine and water kinda like your pitcher at home for you lemonade.”
She smiled again, her eyes wider than ever.
As the docent stood back up to say goodbye to the little girl’s mother she had bumped the art.
The floor was hardwood to make the room to look nice and fancy for the guest. Which made it and even worse deal that the art fell off.
“ Oh my god”
The girl felt sympathy for the lady because she was so intriguing and sweet and started to run after the broken vessel and she

    Never have you seen work which bore the mark of the maker to such a degree.” Studying images of Ohr’s work (the Detroit Institute of Arts owns one of his pots; unfortunately, it is not currently on display), I am impressed by the sheer variety of unique shapes he managed to bring forth from the clay. (“No two alike” he advertised.) His thin-walled vessels are notable for their idiosyncratic indentations and complex twists, pinches, pleats and ruffles. They are also spontaneous, experimental, sensuous and bursting with vitality.…

    I would love to have dinner with George Washington because I want to hear about all of these accomplishments and how it was like being the very first president of the United States. George Washington was the last soldier standing out of 86 soldiers. He was also the only surviving soldier of the militia army. There seems to be a story that described him as “bullet proof president”, and that is what interests me into meeting Mr. Washington. During his lifetime was called “father of his country.”…

    I like Socrates because it's rare to find people like him these days. By this, I mean people who ask challenging questions in the most annoying way that you just can't answer directly just off the top of your head. You actually have to do a lot of thinking. Don't get it twisted, I'm not saying that I like people who annoyed others. It's just that Socrates' style is different.…

    It is a deceptively simple building located on a high platform that was erected at some indeterminate time on the large esplanade in the southeastern corner of the city. Its wooden gilt dome is slightly over twenty meters in diameter and rises like a tall cylinder to a height of some thirty meters over the surrounding stone-paved platform. It is supported by a circular arcade of four piers and twelve columns. An octagon of two ambulatories on eight piers and sixteen columns holds the cylinder tightly, as in a ring. The ambulatory is fourteen meters deep, thus giving to the whole building a diameter of forty-eight meters; it rises to only eleven meters inside and thirteen outside, thus strengthening the impact of the cupola, especially from afar.…

    When the five year old male client with cerebral palsy first entered the room his initial response was to sporadically dart around the room excitedly in no seemingly pointless manner. The clinician let him get some of his energy out before starting in the therapy. The client excitedly explores the room. In about a minute, the client is already trying to play with the lights, get things off a high shelf, and touch everything in the room. Strategically the clinician placed everything out of his reach so the client would have to intentionally ask for help, say please, or use words to communicate.…

Ancient Greece has many great achievements in government, science, philosophy, and the arts that all still influence us today. Religion over the years in Greece has changed. Ancient Greece’s religion was very accustom to their daily life. People in Ancient Greece were very religious.…
