huge fan of making self portraits. It wasn’t because I had trouble with shading‚ value or drawing faces‚ it was more of an issue that I had to draw myself.

One of the most notable features of James Joyce ’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the use of Stephen as the main character‚ as well as a sort of literary device.

I do not remember much of my first day in 7th grade‚ but the one thought that I can remember clearly is walking to my art class to the first time. The only time beforehand I was allowed to be in the school was 7th grade orientation which was two weeks before school‚ and gave us a chance to explore the school.

Character of Lady Macbeth In the course of this essay I will discuss the character of Lady Macbeth and the change in her character throughout the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare.

In our country it is not so rare to hear someone saying about Russian billionaires: “Hey! This guy is a big shot! And no wonder he has robbed our taxpayers in the 90’s!” Well‚ there is a great part of truth in these words. Of course it is the fact that our prominent businessmen have been still going hand in hand with some criminal leaders. And lamentable as it is many of them have scraped together their fortune exactly thanks to the pauperization of the great mass of the population in the end of
