One of the paintings that I have chosen to compare was painted by Giotto di Bondone. “Lamentation”, casted in 1305, can be found in the Arena Chapel, in Padua, Italy (Kleiner). Giotto emerged during the Proto-Renaissance in the 14th Century. During the 14th century, Italy was threatened by the Bubonic…

gold but, “For the cowardice, the greed, that came to [his] soul./ This sign of bad faith is the mark of [his] sin:/ [He’ll] wear it on [his] waist as long as [he] live[s]” (Raffel, 133). The knights and King Arthur each wore a belt as a reminder of the journey and as the glory of Arthurs round table, “Would each of them wear a slanted belt/ Around their waists, woven of green,/ To keep company with their well-loved Gawain./ And that belt was the glory of Arthur’s Round/ Table” (Raffel, 133).…

Will Mulan Make a Feminist Out of You? The Disney movie Mulan (1998) has long been respected for producing the only well known Disney princess who did not need a man to rescue her from her distress. Unlike other Disney princesses, whom many young girls grow up idealizing, she is the hero in her own story, and saves China by showing that she is as capable as any man when she disguises herself as a man and takes her injured father’s place in the army, knowing that the punishment if she is caught…

clan, Clan Dingwall tartan is light yellow with squares of green and red. Under the tartans the men either wore a shirt or not. In most clans, the women wore the tartan as part of their dresses as either a shawl or tied in a fashion around their waist. Unfortunately, the few women presented in the movie do not hold up to this tradition maybe because of their royal…

The sculpture I’ve picked depicts a woman swimming (debatable) as she holds an ibex or gazelle shaped dish, and it is almost as long as a hairbrush. It nests in a glass case with other pieces of the ibex motif just a few turns away from the Hatshepsut statuary room. The purpose of this essay is to detail the statuette’s properties, hopefully finding how the properties display specific qualities of Egypt in its eighteenth dynasty. I chose this item because I couldn’t help but make the connection…

One of the founders of the company actually describes the Lilli, doll in a similar way that those described the Aryan race, from this we can infer that her blonde-haired, blue-eyed appearance was just that. Therefore…

right and wrong has seemed to change drastically. A certain doll always comes to mind when the topic of body image is brought up, she is none other than the infamous Barbie doll. With Barbie's long blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, unrealistic slim waist, pointed feet made only for the hottest stilettos, and a chest some may say was man made, any girl would be jealous. Many parents question the intentions of this doll, some believe that it’s just a toy only to be use for make believe, not…

said, “To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini—put it on and stay strong.” For some time now there has been a shift in what the perfect size is for women. Society has created an image deemed as “the right way to look” that young girls want to live up to. In the 60s, people looked up to Marilyn Monroe as the model of the perfect body figure. She was a 5 feet 6 inches tall, a size 16 with a 35-inch bust and a 22-inch waist. Her bra size was a 36D (Hiskey). The perfect…
