Films considered the greatest ever

Over the course of this class we’ve covered a vast amount of information on the history of photography, film and art, from 1839 to the present, all interesting. But what fascinated me the most, was when we covered Alfred Hitchcock, discussing his movie “Psycho” and “North by Northwest”. Although as a graduate student I was given the opportunity to do my final paper on any topic, but I just had to do mine on the “Master of Suspense”, Sir Alfred Hitchcock. Since I was a kid, we use to watch Alfred…

“Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys” a line whispered from the late Robin Williams in the film Dead Poet’s Society (1989). That line became one of the greatest movie quotes of all time, and one of my personal favorite quotes. The line tells you to literally seize the day, to take the moment.

The uses of solar cells may seem more familiar than you may think so. They are used in solar panels, satellites, and in solar farms where solar energy are harvested in…

have always found art interesting because of the attention to detail, scale of the projects, and plain beauty involved in some pieces. A very important person in my life introduced me to the beauty of art and from that time on, I have been interested ever since. One time me and my friend went on a road trip to further our interests in art. We went to the Cleveland Museum of Art. I had an amazing time during the trip.

The main character…
