As listening to one of the best music composers to live, Ludwig Van Beethoven, I realize the music he produced is more powerful than I have ever thought.

On the first movement called Allegro con brio on symphony Five in C Minor is one of my beloved favorite track. I loved when the violins came in and built suspense towards the trumpets. Let’s be honest, where would the song be…
This essay convenes the work of two Austrian artists, Gustav Klimt and his former student Egon Schiele. Both twentieth century artists and both independent in their style, their work together embodies common idiosyncrasies. The two share many qualities in their work, especially a kind of anxiety. Although stylistically, Klimt 's work is formally ordered and decorative while Schiele 's work is unforgiving in its brutality. An example that displays this duality in their work and similar…
Within a span of two centuries, new, diverse themes were emerging through Roman artistic styles and techniques. By 450 B.C.E, utilizing contrapposto and the perception of movement in art was vastly gaining popularity over earlier artistic styles of stiff, rigid statues. As motion became prominent artwork, new artistic subjects were expressed through distinct illustrations of movement. Specifically, artwork such as Diskobolos and the Sleeping Satyr deviated from the artistic norms of previous…

The Jersey Devil; he has the face of a goat, body of a kangaroo, legs of a crane, wings like a bat, and pig’s feet. The idea of these features mashed together just seems impossible. This bizarre creature is believed to inhabit Pine Barrens, in Southern New Jersey. How could such a strange creature come into existence? There are many different variations of the Jersey Devil legend, but the more known one tells the story of Mother Jane Leeds. Mother Leeds lived in Pine Barrens in poverty. The year…
but this hike into Onion Valley is the toughest single climb in the Sierra! As related to me, since I was called away, by our leader and Tim.

Flying high above the surface of the ocean, the gray-green dragon with faint golden stripes in its wing feathers searched for another column of rising air heated by the midday sun, but they were elusive this day, his fourth out from the small island of Negrina, eastern most island on the great ocean of Avaruus. He and his kind explored the eastern seas for centuries, finding unknown islands and shoals through Far Sight, but no one had found anything beyond Negrina, or even had a hint of lands…
The setting and characters help show the theme of the story that appearances can be deceiving, people should be more careful with who they trust and that things are not always what they seem. What people let off is not always what they hold inside or there is usually something hidden deep beneath the surface. First, the setting in The Landlady is a Bed & Breakfast, it portrays itself as a very cozy place and makes you feel safe. Although deep inside, under layers is where you wouldn’t normally…
feelings in the world. Once hit you run to first base if the ball isn't close by it would be a great opportunity to run the the next base. The softball field may be smaller than the average baseball field but the ball is bigger and pitched underhand on flat ground. Softball was invented in 1887…
Olympia, painted in 1863 by Edouard Manet, and The Coiffure, which Mary Cassatt created in 1891, illustrate inequalities in class and gender. As art used to be considered a field only for men, the male gaze was and is very commonly found in art. Male gaze is when a female subject is seen through the view of a man and often seems objectified. Manet, in Olympia, and Cassatt, in most of her work, either invert the gaze or work to entirely remove it. In addition to showing women in a more positive…
