Venus figurines

her career and not just because of her gender, ethnicity, or the way she chooses to present herself. Her hard-work should be recognized as a game changer in tennis and people should appreciate that. As mentioned by Shultz on page 340, “Serena and Venus Williams have attracted more black spectators than any other black professional athlete.” This just shows that the Williams sisters has helped inspire the minorities to come and watch a predominantly “white” sport. With…

Be it through television, radio, or toys, we are a product of our childhood. The things we experience as children daily have an enormous, impressionable impact on our lives. For me, childhood wasn’t a typical cookie-cutter situation. For me, the character that stuck with me the most during my childhood wasn’t a toy or television character; it was a tennis player by the name of Maria Sharapova. To understand my––for lack of a better word––obsession, let’s set the scene. It’s been approximately a…

Summer in a Day” by: Ray Bradbury, a girl is put on Venus and is picked on by all the other Venusian kids for remembering the sun. They are mad, you see, because the sun only ever comes out every 7 years for only 2 hours. The reason for writing this is so the two themes of the story “All Summer in a Day,” which are jealousy and anger, can be shown and told to you. In the first paragraph we will talk about the theme jealousy. All the kids from Venus are jealous of Margot for remembering the sun.…

This is the most commonly cited source that is proposed to have been used for this composition by Titian and appears in the front to Arthur Pope’s analysis of the painting for the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum where the painting resides. This text provides the most vital pieces of information; that the painting shows Zeus in the form of a bull who has seduced Europa with his beauty and kindness, only to run off with her against her will. This source is further connected to Titian because, in…

The Venus flytrap is a plant native to wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The scientific name for the Venus Fly Trap is Dionaea Muscipula. It’s one of the most fascinating plants to have ever existed due to its omnivorous nature. Darwin noted, “‘I care more for Drosera than the origin of species ... it is a wonderful plant, or rather a most sagacious animal. I will stick up for Drosera to the day of my death.” The Venus flytrap reproduces by…

what she refers to as the idea of “blurring of boundaries.” Heyob’s specific examples refer to a small bronze group of statues that depict both Venus and Cupid, which were found in the Egyptian Faiyum, a city in Middle Egypt. This group of figurines, in particular the figurine depicted in figure 3, displays a standing deity resembling the goddess Venus. This conclusion can be drawn due to the fact that there is a small winged figure, which is her son Cupid, seated on her right shoulder. In…

objects that contain similar features are the small “venus” figurines from Russia. These figurines date back approximately 20,000 years. We see can see that these two similar objects do not differ too much in the time in which they were created. A conclusion can be made that the piece could have been created around this time period. Also, both of these objects measure similar height. The Woman from Willendorf measures 11 cm while the “venus” figurines measure 15 cm. The small size indicates the…

The thesis of Nelson’s 1990 essay about the “Venus” figurines of the upper Paleolithic era is that anthropology is itself recirculating unfair and poorly thought-out gender norms in its imposition of meaning onto the figurines. Her most important points are less about the Venus figures themselves, and more about the role of gender. Even within academia, she observes a trend involving the recirculation of imposing gender norms onto artifacts without any real evidence for it (Nelson 12). Nelson…

There have been over two-hundred of this figurines found as of today. All the figurines have similar a lot of the same characteristics, such as; voluptuous bodies with outsized breasts, wide hips, large belly, and thighs. For some reason the some figures show the women being pregnant, having small heads, and having no hands or feet. Strange how these figurines were found in different parts of the world and have similar…
