The anguished figure: my first impression of this title is severe pain and suffering exposed by artists in their work‚ who are trying to highlight the veracity of the human mind. Significantly‚ they are trying to underline and mark in history the reality into an ‘anguished figure’‚ by emphasising facial expressions and body language in their pieces of art work; to bring awareness upon this profound topic. This exploration will highlight how my three chosen artists: Kathe Kollwitz‚ Michelangelo and

I choose to do my Alternative Assessment on Leonardo da Vinci‚ Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raffaello Sanzio. The Italian Renaissance time period was huge for artists because of the magnificent art work that was created. Some famous art pieces made by these three artists have to do with a religious theme from the bible and they recreate it using their artistic ability. The life of Leonardo‚ Michelangelo and Raphael and their art works were really popular in the Renaissance because they all had a

The Renaissance was quite possibly one of the greatest periods in European history. Translating literally to “rebirth”‚ it is defined as a drastic change in the lives of Europeans due to a newfound interest in the classical period of Europe’s history.

Book 3 China’s treasure ships were part of a fleet that was larger than any in history. Zhu Di‚ leader and prince of the Ming dynasty‚ wanted the fleet of 317 wooden treasure ships all over 400 feet long. The prince wanted nothing but the best. The silk sails were a traditional red. The ships were used to carry cargo for trade. What amazes me is the boldness of the ships.

Humanities Humanities The Importance of Humanities There is a significant importance to the study of humanities. When I was first told that I had to sign up for a Humanities class‚ I wondered why an accounting degree would require such a class. At the time I did not feel a Humanities class would benefit me; however‚ within the first week‚ I began to think differently. It was very interesting. I saw that the importance of studying Humanities lay in the history of the works completed. Within
