Onyx

wanting what we want. But the agreement made is best for both partners so nobody should be left dissatisfied if done right. It will not be black and white, however. Their will be snows and chiffons and pearls and bones, accompanying fossil, charcoal, onyx, soot, metal, coal, etc. There will be no easy way to come upon a decision. We all are required to come to a certain level of reasoning and understanding with each other sooner or later in order to compromise something in the…

size of the screens vary from a five inch screen to a six inch screen depending on which phone the consumer buys. “Samsung improved the Galaxy S7’s 5.1-inch Quad HD Super AMOLED display by making it a bit brighter”(Ion). Colors of the phone are black onyx, silver titanium, platinum gold and blue coral for the note seven only. Next to the home button there are two extra buttons on either side which are the back button and the recent button. Other than the physical…

The Eucharistic Dove (ca, 1215-35) is a suspended dove, stylized in typical Byzantine manner. During this period, Christian influence spread across the Roman conquered world and lead to the crusades, a series of holy wars began in the name of Christianity. These strong religious convictions that defined the time were represented in art of the day, famously finished in copper and heavy with ornate detail. One might quickly identify the period and suspect that because the artist depicted an animal…

this strongly pressures viewers into changing their perspectives towards the significance of history. The artwork seemingly manipulates viewers to feel a sense of regret towards this loss through the dimming of the white lines, recessing into the onyx black canvas. This fading of the white into black was a simple, strong gesture in depicting the idea of how our historical knowledge is being engulfed and gradually recessed into the abyss of the forgotten. As a result to this impact, viewers are…

The United States is a culturally diverse country that brings forth many differences in health care beliefs and practices. All cultures have each individual system of health beliefs explaining the cause of illness, how it can be treated or cured, as well as where to acquire treatment. The word culture is associated with norms, values, and traditions passed down through generations (Potter, Perry, Hall, & Stockert, 2017, p. 102). In other words, culture reveals how people think, do, and respond…

Modernism and Modernisms - Semester 1 The modernist building that I will be discussing in this essay is the Barcelona Pavilion. The Modern Period began from the late 19th Century all the way to early 20th Century. “Modernism, in the arts, a radical break with the past and the concurrent search for new forms of expression.” This was an era defined by industrialisation and social change after World War 2. Paul Greenhalgh using a postmodern perspective describes modernity as “a set of ideas and…

In his will, Augustus formally adopted her into his line, with the name Julia Augusta. Inscriptions, art works, and coins as well as literary sources attest to the elevated political, and social status of this woman. In an onyx cameo of Livia, displays at Vienna’s Kunsthistorisches Museum, she is holding a bust of the deified Augustus . Here, Livia wears a diadem and displays attributes of several goddesses. Likewise, in many life-size statues of her, probably dating from…

for each side, however, I am unable to make out or understand the meaning. I see this as an indication that there are two sides to her personality, a bright side and a dark side. Her dress is fully adorned with what appears to be pearl, ruby, and onyx gems. The style of dress is with the overly puffed sleeves and the rather over sized bottom half are common stylistic features of the Renaissance period. A2: The contrast between the dark side of her left and the bright sunshine side on her…

Her first instinct had been to scream. This as it turned out, had been a very bad idea. Not only did the beast turn towards her, looking at Abilene with its sinister snarl, but it also started to sprint towards her. She knew going deep into the forest was a bad idea but of course Abilene just had to ignore all the warning signs in her brain. Every part of her body seemed to be screaming ‘run away!’ yet didn’t appear to comply. True unadulterated fear was temporarily disabling her senses as the…

A perfect statue except for the eyes glaring menacingly, fingers flaming forward in hatred, paralysing. A blurry flash leapt into his field of view, rings on the mans finger. Silver, family crest; gold, wedding band; diamond, just for status; onyx, just for pain. Thomas coughs and sees red, his own red, slicking his lips, dribbling down his chin onto the uncomfortable floorboards, but that doesn’t stop the intimidating man that was his father. Lightening cracked outside the window as Charles…
