The Merriam Webster dictionary defines childhood as “The early period in the development of something.” For some children their childhood is idyllic and some of the best, most carefree years of their life. Unfortunately, one cannot control their childhood. Many children who grow up with parents that are in and out of jail, alcoholics and or drug addicts, grow up to be just like them.
6 million Jews died in the holocaust, only 177 Nazis ran for trial, 24 were sentenced to death, 20 to lifelong imprisonment, 98 other prison sentences, 25 were found not guilty.

Since the choreography is viewed from a wide angle, it’s important for all dancers to embody the vision for the piece, without the aesthics that camera work can provide. Regardless of their differences, whether they are working for the camera or for the stage, dancers must strive to communicate the aesthetic, or director’s vision of a
When society thinks of the word “childhood,” they imagine it as a precious time for children to be in school and freely play, to grow and learn with the love and support from people dear to their hearts. It is also known to be a cherished period where children are to be innocent and live carefree from fear. However, in the context of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, childhood is viewed as a tough hardship that Jeannette and her siblings have overcame, and the memories they carry has greatly impacted their lives that it has molded them to who they are

In her article, Embodying Difference, Jane Desmond argues that dance offers important insights into the ways moving bodies articulate cultural meanings and social identities. In other words, she explains the importance of studying the body’s movement as a way of understanding culture and society. She has two main arguments. First, she argues for the importance of the continually changing relational constitutions of cultural forms. Desmond further explains that the key to shedding light on the unequal distribution of power and goods that shape social relations are the concepts of cultural resistance, appropriation, and cultural imperialism (49).
He highlights the concerns and identity of the cultures that have influenced him into creating his pieces of art. With In his artwork Home Décor Algebra
The Saint Vitus’ dance is in fact not a dance, but a disorder. This results in hectic and rapid movements of the face, hands and feet. He uses this disorder to describe the way humans commonly live life in confusion and through uncoordinated events. This chaotic life is the opposite of how he feels life should be lived in simplicity. His challenging vocabulary such as, “indispensable”, “unfathomed” and “rudiment” all help express the writers’ intelligence.
My topic for the Thematic Research paper is going to be on Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin, I will be discussing self-portraits and the incorporation of language in them. Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin are for the most the art, their work consists of photographs of both of them or one or the other. In their self-portraits they use creative writings, drawing, or control of the body to demonstrate thoughts and ideas. Language is mostly seen in their work “Photoglyphs”, language and the portrait become one. Rimma Gerlovina was born in Moscow Russia in 1951, and went to The Moscow State University, Valeriy Gerlovin was born in Vladivostok Russia in 1945 and he studied at The Stage Design Department of The Moscow Art Theatre.
The strict however commendable employment of components is evident in the concert poster for the Tonhalle Gesellschaft Zurich of 1955. The dissection of the poster as being without any ink and just being a compositional drawing, one can see the structural image coming into place. The poster comprises vertical as well as horizontal lines, roughly, on a thirty to forty five degree angle. This particular angle leads to a certain sense of movement that suggests musical breath or musical chords. This execution can been seen on numerous levels: the musical development of the vertical and even lines against the 30 degree pivot, the inwards junction of components using this central axis , the figure-ground relationship of the components, the utilization of complexity through changing components,
Modern art takes the best of artists and their art work and adapts it, adding new techniques and personal styles of each. When one carefully analyzes different pieces of art with openness to emotional impression and introspection it allows appreciation and pleasure towards other artists as well as their works. This paper will provide information on the artist Paul Cézanne and his work The Large Bathers, look into Matisse’s Bonheur de Vivre (Joy of Life) and Picasso’s Les Demoiselles d’Avignon. It will also discuss the influence Paul Cézanne had on the aforementioned artists upon producing their masterpieces.

We all continue to live in a world surrounded by varyng forms of art, music, painting, literature, and all these are results of creative human activity in which materials are formed to show an idea or a thought of communication. I believe arts are meant to aid in understanding our past, describe the present and predict the future. “The Weather Project” by Olafur Eliasson managed to create an interesting presentation of the weather. The exposition seems to initiate an impressive tension between the city and nature. The room is encircled in natural elements sun, mist, light and by introducing these natural elements Ellison seems to persuade viewers to entirely appear themselve in the space and the exhibition.
But the fact that Stravinsky’s music used similar melodic, orchestrational, and harmonic techniques of pieces written before, brings up the question: Why did the audience react the way that they did? Stravinsky’s music reflected his early life experiences. Consequently, Stravinsky was not, in fact, the first composer who was “committed” with composing such controversy, so again: were riots necessary? The result of the audience’s reaction caused by the ballet has not happened before. “Le Sacre du Printemps” (the original name) was one of the utmost contentious ballets in history.
As such, it is also viewed as a response to the virtual relationships which have prompted a desire for more physical interaction between people, as well as inspired artists to adopt a do-it-yourself approach and model their own “possible universes”, and although this emphasis on immediacy, familiar to that of performance art, Bourriaud sees a difference in performance and relational art, the main difference for him being the shift in attitude toward social change (Bishop
