Giorgio Moroder is a famous musician who produces electronic dance music. He was born in Ortisei, Italy, on April 26th 1940. He has been one of my most influential producers ever since I heard him on Daft Punk’s album, Random Access Memories. He tells us a story of what life was like for him when he first started making music and how he worked hard to make it where he is now. The story he told was just a summary of all that he has done. In order to understand how influential Giorgio was, one…

Pei, the Louvre is the world’s largest museum (at 652,300 square feet), with more than 35,000 pieces of art stored within its walls. However, the Louvre is much more than a museum.

He is known as the “Renaissance man.” Today he is best known for his art, including a couple of paintings that are still a few of the world’s most famous and admired, The Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.

In Lisa Delpit’s book “Other People’s Children” there was many conflicts mentioned throughout the chapters. One that really stood out to me was the idea of standards and believing in each child the same no matter what gender, race, or culture. That is something I will do as a teacher and it is also really important in the success of each student. In the introduction scene one there was an interacting between Lisa and a young teacher named Carolyn about a black student in her kindergarten…

It has Leonardo traits, but it doesn 't carry his metaphysical individuality. La Bella is the only painting of Leonardo 's to have an object sitting in front of the subject and the viewer. La Belle also most closely resembles the Mona Lisa, who wasn 't painted until 15 years after Belle. The paintings that Leonardo was making at the time period of La Belle were still rather stylized, and all beared some sort of resemblance, La Belle being the odd one out.

Homer's father also received the same name as Groening's grandfather, Abraham. Groening returned to…

some of them do not make any sense and it is no secret that the posts were rushed and not thought through clearly. I think it is obvious that I was most interested in Module 4: The High Renaissance. I seriously had too many words to discuss the Mona Lisa. My post was detailed and my comments were as well. As I go back and read the comments that were left to my post, I see that most people agreed with what I said and thought it was a great post overall. Another thing I noticed that displayed my…
