The Nineteenth Century brought a new movement to the art world in the form of Impressionism. Impressionism is creating art with blurred images rather than defined lines. One of these Impressionist artists include Marie Bracquemond. Marie’s painting entitled Woman with an Umbrella consists of thin, blurred and controlled lines of pastel colors to intrigue art-lovers. The objective view of the painting remains clearly identifiable. In the middle of the painting is an average woman, wearing a soft…

The world came together from everyone migrating one place to another. Our nation, the United States of America, was made from immigrants. There’s a good amount of every nationality here. If we didn’t have diversity, life would be quite boring. Having different languages, and cultures is fun learning about and experiencing. Others have their own opinions on major topics. Some people believe immigration should be stopped, and others think differently. Immigration reform mainly focuses on…

For my third museum visit I went to the museum of fine arts in St. Petersburg on the 21st of April. This museum had everything from classical antiquity sculptures to contemporary abstract art. The piece that I am going to discuss in detail is titled Encroachment and was painted by Jay Hall Connaway. When first looking at this oil painting, aspects of the scenery stand out most. The painting depicts waves crashing into rocks along the coastline. In particular, there is one wave that is in the…

Every individual person in the modern world is innately capable of performing similar duties as everyone else, yet people differ immensely in cultures and beliefs.

I was born on September 29, 1998. A fact so simple, yet just a couple of years ago, I would have said that this piece of information is enough for anyone to know who I am. According to astrology, I am a Libra. I am sociable, indecisive, and diplomatic. As a child, reading these horoscopes forced me to examine myself and decide whether I fit the characteristics I was apparently supposed to identify with. I allowed these assumptions to dictate the kind of person I should be, rather than just…

Western Culture stemmed from a fusion of various civilizations. The Greek and the Roman civilizations had some of the biggest impact on the development of the ancient world. What was different about these societies from other cultures within the ancient civilizations was their political and religious systems. As Rome conquered various Hellenistic cities, they captured the essence of Greek culture and melded it within theirs. Through influence of literature, architecture, and mindset, as well as…

My vision for america’s youth today is that we focus less on the newest Jordans or the newest iPhone and focus more on issues that affect us because we are the one that inherit this earth. Materialism eats us from the inside out. Our society places significance on what you own—not who you are, it is sad and bitter fact. Many problems may arise and often do when young people embrace this culture of materialism. Lacking the means to acquire the much-valued material things, some individuals…

Is there a culture war going on in the United States? Most definitely, from past to present, there will always be a culture war. Even a bystander of the American culture cannot help but be impressed by the amount of influence of American politics and cultural values and even lifestyles and attitudes. The amount of beliefs culture war touches upon are immense: take tax privileges away from churches, use anti-discrimination laws to target religious non-profits, and reduce religious schools’ access…

Without a doubt Ancient Greece influenced nearly every aspect of western civilization, from our architecture and literature to even our system of governing. Western cultural continually glorifies Ancient Athens, even when it probably shouldn’t. Some scholars, like Victor David Hansen, claim that the Greek victory against the Persians saved western civilizations. But the question remains, did it really save western civilization? It’s important to keep in mind that all of this is pure speculation.…
