The mind is a complex term that is always changing and forming. It is not easy to define the mind but it can be proven to exist. Throughout the ages the perception of human kind has always changed. It is human nature to change and become a different self but the person always stays the same. Now in the present, the topic of history is presented in almost every school to promote the mistakes done by certain groups of people.

The Revolution of 1848 is commonly regarded as the beginning of the Realism movement in France, but artworks created in the years surrounding the revolution also convey the social issues brought about by the unstable political system. Artists departed from Romanticism, which had been popular since the late 18th century, and in turn abandoned the drama, emotion, and exotic subject matter that accompanied the artistic movement.

of the pieces ‘Built Environment’ made by James Castle and the piece ‘Evening at Kuerners’ made by Andrew Wyeth. Both artists have their own way of expressing themselves through their work. James Castle was amazingly creative with how he made his art. Each piece he made helped express himself since he was unable to do it himself. Any material that he found was the base of his artwork.

entering the RISD museum I was greeted by the quaint streets of the historic east-side of Providence. It's often an overlooked part of town due to the city life but really earns it's merit in beautifully restored colonial homes and colorful street art. The streets had tall green trees that bordered the sidewalk perfectly, and the light post were littered with local stickers either for a cause or promoting a local artist. Luckily, I was able to find parking rather easily because I went on an off…
