these resulting pieces is Mary Anointing Jesus with the Precious Oils of Spikenard. The piece was first imagined in 1987 and then recreated with the assistance of Donald Farnsworth in 2003. Currently it is on display in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Arts which I had a chance to visit recently. Out of the countless artworks…

After that it becomes increasingly harder to develop those skills. At the time that she was discovered, Genie was still capable of rehabilitation, although it would be at a slow pace. The ideal time frame for language and motor development had passed, but it was not an impossible case ("Genie the Wild Child Analysis & Behavior."). There was hope that Genie would be able to gain a full development, but this time has passed. In Genie’s case there were many areas that could have been altered…

extraordinarily difficult in patriarchy”, which makes it especially crucial for modern viewers to be shown positive interactions concerning women (Bettelheim 293). Bettelheim also establishes the importance of positive identification with mother figures, stating that “if the mother fails the child in fairy tales, the child’s very life is in jeopardy” (Bettelheim 206). While the circumstances are not that dire in the modern world, the same principle stands; women need positive female role models…

“Luke, I am your father.” In a modern version of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” one cat look at the film of something that sets the stage for a hero’s journey. From Calypso to Polyphemus, lotus eaters to sun god’s island, things can get extremely chaotic. A movie as recent in our minds can be recognizable in older stories. At Odysseus’s home, Ithaca, he and Penelope had just given birth to a child named Telemachus. However, shortly after his birth, he is summoned to fight in the Trojan War, but he…

too—what is the plan for how they would move through it? I have visited the Houston Museum of Fine Arts (HMFA) with my sister several times since I came here.

Realistic depictions of modern life came to the forefront, replacing the countless still life and portraits. They chose to focus heavily on effects, especially light, instead of the…

homes and thus women had more time for other pursuits. Miller was a man of the past and old fashion, we would say and he expressed his ambivalence towards modern technology and the modern thinking. In a way Willy Loman is Arthur Miller…

things to come across modern day life. It can be seen practically everywhere in this modern age. If someone has such a thing as “not enough” technology on their person, they are looked on as outcast. Who can blame them? As a civilization, human beings have shown great success in coming together and creating new technological advances every day. Just compare a modern day phone to one originally created in the early 90’s and one can feel justified in making a comment that the modern day phone has…

. Although theses three modern styles varied, the works involved all occupied a new and more complex space. Mel Gooding explains this as a ‘trend in modern art away from the representation of recognisable objects in pictorial space and towards presentation of a painting or sculpture as a real object in real space.’ Up until this time the pictorial space created in the art work aimed to create the illusion of a real pictorial space for the spectator.

a demonstration of her love to her father. If she is not able to keep herself pure the shame is not only on her, but the greater shame lies on her father who has failed the community to raise her up properly. To the moderns this may be a far-fetched core conception since most moderns no longer value virginity until marriage.
