Every person has feelings. These feelings are aroused by a catalyst. A touch‚ a smell‚ a sight. When a person does art‚ his or her duty is to titillate the viewer. His or her work must be passionate‚ captivating and able to be thought about. When an artist renders a piece‚ be it a painting‚ water color‚ sculpture‚ dance or poem‚ he or she must inspire the viewer to come back and look at it a second and a third time. The artist must expand his or her mind to engulf others. Octavio Ocampo has accomplished

Heinrich and John Marzluff’s study on ravens and what their motives are for sharing demonstrated that Ravens do not share based on altruistic behavior. Rather‚ sharing among ravens is a result of dividing themselves into maturity groups‚ residents (territory holding adults) and wanderers (vagrant juveniles).

The most important factor in identifying a raven‚ whether a common one or one of a similar degree is that of knowing the difference between a raven and that of a crow. The raven‚ in this case the species of corvus corax is of the kingdom Animalia‚ the phylum Chordata‚ the class Aves‚ the order Passeriformes‚ the family Corvidae‚ and the genus Corvus. For a sense of comparison to the origins of both birds‚ by taking the American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)as an example it can be found in the Nearctic
