Art is an expression of the human condition since the time when men and women dwelled in caves. Creativity is not proprietary to what we consider modern times. This essay will look at two sculptures from the third millennium B.C. Each of these statues tells us something about the motivations of people of that particular era. The Royal Acquaintances Memi and Sabu is a painted limestone sculpture most probably from Giza in Egypt. It dates with some certainty from the period 2575 – 2465 B.C. [1]…

IV. Mesoproterozoic Depending on what part of Minnesota you would have been in during the Mesoproterozoic there would have been different things occurring. In Northern Minnesota, the greenstones and granites were eroding away along with the gneiss and granite in north central Minnesota. This erosion created a lot of quartz, which was eventually turned into quartz sandstone (Ojakangas, and Matsch 1982). These quartz sandstones are the Sioux Quartzite of southwestern Minnesota, the Nopeming…

The neighborhood was noiseless, and the sky was pitch black, for there had been no moon on that summer morning in June. My mother and father started our car and waited for Sofia,my sister, sean ,my friend, and me to get inside. It was time to leave our dull suburban home in San Jose, and drive to the beloved National Park, Yosemite, to hike Half Dome. On the car ride there I had slept, but awoke right when we had gotten into the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Looking outside of the window and noticing…

There is a saying that I heard long ago that has impacted my life in more ways than one. “Everyone has a sad story”, but the difference between myself and others is that I did not let it crush me, I let it inspire me. A few years ago when I wasn’t sure what sport to pursue, my father introduced me to CrossFit. CrossFit is a form of physical training that uses intense cardiovascular movements blended with Olympic weightlifting maneuvers for a total body work out. CrossFit has been used by…

illusion of depth but a completely different dimension altogether, which inspired me the most. During a recent visit to the Tempietto in Rome I gave a presentation on Bramante's use of classical references in this martyrium. The colonnade's sixteen granite columns are recycled from ancient Roman buildings, allowing me to incorporate my knowledge and interest of Classical Civilisation. Consequently, I feel the study of History of Art is an education in every sense of the word. Throughout my VI…

The Transcontinental Railroad was not only the first massive mode of transportation to connect coast to coast for the United States but it was a race, a major source of immigration, culture, and the livelihood for many who worked on it. Building the railroad wasn’t an easy feat, it had grueling trials on both the manual and non-manual side of the process. The financing for the railroad constituted finding loopholes to get the most government funding possible and finding investors. While the…

I, like my fellow companions am an artist, an innovator, a person that one of the plebeians would identify as a psychopath. People believe that I am one to be feared, one to be caged, one to be killed. I don’t understand why they feel this way, but they fear us all the same. I believe that this is mostly because of the poor depiction of what a psychopath is on television. Actually people like myself are present everywhere. If you look left we are there, if you look right we are there, and if you…
