Minimalism

Plovdiv is one of the most ancient cities in Europe. Its history dates as far back as 4000BC. It’s known that Athens is the oldest city, but Plovdiv is even older. In February 2015 when there were holidays in Bulgaria I decided to use a chance and go to Plovdiv with my friends. It was 5:50 am and half an hour till the bus leaves from the station. Blagoevgrad was dark and peaceful. Only street lights with their yellow light gave an opportunity to see objects a few meters ahead. The city was…

courier travel. Courier companies use your check-in baggage for their customer’s documents and in return allow you to travel for a greatly reduced fare. The airline only allowed you to bring carry-on baggage but this was a minor inconvenience and minimalism travel at its finest. 
The Los Angeles Times ran ads for courier companies every Sunday, so I bought the latest paper and found Polo Express Couriers. I immediately called them, ran through a long list of questions, and although slightly…

“Loving is Art, and Art is Love. (...) In love and in art, the only constant is inconstancy (Boal 19).” This project gave me the ability to create without pressures and to cherish in the inconsistencies of art. I was able to see how art is forever changing and reworking. Art like love is fluid, the person you love and the art you create are constantly growing, moving, and developing. Normally when I am the director of a project I try to make sure that everything is constant, unique, and…

I decided to rent Doctor Atomic by John Adams. Doctor Atomic is an English language opera that portrays the anxiety and tension felt by the scientists involved in the creation of the atomic bomb in 1945. I read the synopsis of several concerts and operas and they all were appealing, but then I read the description for Doctor Atomic and knew I should critique it. I am a chemistry major and the summary of this opera intrigued my scientific side. I also felt that I would enjoy this English language…

Ethics and/or moral reasoning is the invisible set of rules we live by, or most of us live by anyway, that help us to distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. A lot of these rules and guidelines are just so natural and automatic to us in nature that we don’t even have to think about them, we just know what is right and go along with it. These morals can change from person to person based on cultural and religious beliefs, but are overall very similar. “The identification of ethics…

Edward Kennedy Ellington was one of the most famous jazz composers and performers of the twentieth century. It is a well-known fact that Duke Ellington went down in history of jazz music as one of the most significant composers, as well as outstanding bandleader, who led his own musical group of about fifty years. Thus, the main aims of this project are to think about Duke Ellington, and discuss how he fits into the history of jazz, dwelling on his style and other details with more attention.…

other hand, if a person came across the iPhone 4S ad they would be in the dark as far as specifications about the phone goes if they were unfamiliar with iPhones. Despite not knowing about iPhones, consumers would still be left with an impression of minimalism from the clean feel of the ad. Apple makes sure their ads are of the highest quality. However, Micromax lets consumers know right out of the gate that this is what buyers of the A70 will get with their purchase. Apple includes no more than…

What are the Limits in Perception, and does it Greatly Affect Us? Sense perception is way of knowing information of the outside world be using sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch (though it’s debatable if there are more sense). Sense perception can be argued as one of the most important ways of knowing out there, as it’s greatly used in the other ways of knowing. Without it, you can’t reason because you need to be able to see what you’re reasoning, and you can’t know language because then…
