An artist’s job is to depict a story, or emotions, through their piece of work. Every viewer may feel differently towards a piece of work because it may portray a different meaning for everyone. Donatello’s David and Bernini’s David, are based on the same biblical story, however, they capture David at two different moments, making the viewers have different emotions towards each work. Even works that are based on the same story, can make the viewers feel different emotions due to the pieces…

This ‘film” took place during the Victorian Era (1832-1902).

The link “Women’s Clothing from University of Vermont” was very intriguing to me. Looking at the changes in fashion from decade to decade really interests me. I could not imagine wearing clothes from before the 1910s for more than a few hours. I am glad the text said people started realizing the negative impact constraining corsets had on women’s health. I do have to mention one of the pictures showing women’s clothing in the 1880s. It shows three women leaning on huge guns. Now I hope they were…

Although the child’s family may have been rich, that doesn’t mean that the child would live a happy…

For those in the upper echelons of society, rules such as the proper forms of address even what to wear were all considered very important to them. However Victorian society did not recognize that there was a lower class. 'The Poor' were invisible. Status was prominent in this era as people were segregated differently depending on their own family wealth. Technically the Victorian era began in 1837 and…

To a certain extent, Source B and D support the attitude to women shown in Source A. as they all agree and accept the “angel in the house” philosophy.

The man in Source A is clearly distressed because he may have read bad news, the woman is fulfilling her role in life by comforting her husband; she is fulfilling her role in…

“I am afraid you have had very little experience in how to propose... men often propose for practice. I know my brother Gerald does. All my girl-friends tell me so” (24). Wilde criticizes the concept of a proposal by using Gwendolen’s constant irritating responses, satirical tone, and ignorance towards the subject. Individuals dwell with anxiety about making a proposal extravagant and nearly perfect, to the point where they are ignorant to the bigger picture and genuine meaning of a proposal;…

It is at the start of the 15th century that scientific discovery begins to take off. This growing interest in scientific knowledge is then showcased through art for the next three centuries, covering the renaissance, baroque and rococo stylistic periods. Although it is not a continually growing interest, the interest is always present and shifting in its use. This interest starts in early renaissance with Donatello’s sculpture of David. Donatello builds upon the realism previously made popular…
