The Hudson River Valley region is thickly populated today, and it is hard to imagine that the region had lesser than 100,000 Native Americans before the arrival of the Europeans. French fur trappers and traders found their way into the region by the middle of the sixteenth century. When Henry Hudson explored the land and named the river as Hudson, he claimed the land for the Dutch. Later, the tiny Dutch settlement surrendered to the Royal Navy and attracted a large number of settlers from New England. Local natives and traders allied themselves with the new developments but ...

The goal of this essay is to provide artwork analysis of three contemporary paintings such as Whitney’s Cold Moon Dancer, Sheehan’s I Never Planned to Have You Here, and Dugas’ Wake. These three works of art exemplifies the influences of modernism due to the fact that artists explored different artistic styles in order to portray their subjects from a different perspective. From that point, the resulting paintings were brave, bolder, and revolutionary in a sense that these works broke the traditional art forms of either ‘humanizing’ or illustrating realistic and religious figures. For instance, Whitney’s Cold ...

Analysis of the Character of Shakespeare's Macbeth in the Social and Historical Contexts

The play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare, which is based on the Scottish history, appears to be not so much a work of art as a political response to the era in which it was necessary to develop a Scottish theme, emphasize the historical friendship of England and Scotland, and tell about the popular witches and witchcraft at the new royal court. Undoubtedly, tragedies are the creative heritage of William Shakespeare. They express the power of his brilliant mind and the essence of his era, precisely because the subsequent periods comprehended their conflicts through the prism of the Shakespearean works ...

The use of cityscapes in cinema began in the mid-1920s with Berlin being the birth city of these new types of movies. Since then, cities have provided a production site as well as consumptions and distribution sites. The usage of cities in movies also assists in explaining different emerging issues within the modern urban society. Using cities as sites for shooting movies allows an understanding issues of the public sphere and social space (Mennel 32). Employing city landscape when shooting movies also help in promoting an understanding of modern aesthetics. Linklater’s movie Before Sunset tells a romantic story ...

Abstract

Video games have evolved a thousand times since their first introduction to consumers. They have increased not only in price but in intensity. Violence seems to be a central theme in some games and with that there is the consequential impact on today’s youth. This paper does not aim to analyze how kids and adults value (or fail to value) life after hours of killing in video games. It aims to simply describe two popular selections that have quite a few things in common, despite their obvious differences. Call of Duty allows for traveling through time from World War II to ...

I went to see Moulin Rouge at the Lutcher Theater on Tuesday, Jan 31, 2012.
Moulin Rouge is a play set in the Montmartre District of Paris and focuses on the love affair between a French courtesan and a British poet/playwright.

I found the performance at the Lutcher Theatre quite stimulating and invigorating especially in the parts where the love scenes are strong and romantic. The actors were also quite ...

Alexandra Kehayoglou’s work is not necessarily focused on fashion as such. Her work takes on an entire different look and feel to the usual (art). It is in light of this that Dries Van Noten approached her to create a carpet for his catwalk at the Paris Fashion Week in 2015. It was a showcase of how art, textile, and fashion could come together and create a memorable display. The work was memorable as it gave essence to the fashion on display as well as the concept that Van Noten wished to convey (see Figure 1). The carpet ...

Shakespeare Films

In 1996, the young generation of the world enthusiastically accepts the new film version of the eternal love story – Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, directed by Baz Luhrmann. The new alternative adaptation of the classic work of Shakespeare is amazing. Young lovers Romeo and Juliet, performed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes, appear in front of us not in the usual classic surroundings, but in the backdrop of a futuristic cityscape Verona Beach. It’s funny that, while making ultra-modern and fashionable and external surroundings for the film, Baz Luhrmann left as it stands the Shakespearean text.

I think Wordsworth’s encounter with nature is a religious experience. It appears that the very act of visiting the banks of the Wye is religious journey that reaches its climax when he is meditating. The reason is that he seems to take another form to become a living soul who is able to see the life other things. This kind of experience is like it is religious, because he is filled with another kind of power that he did not before this experience. When remembering his sister he appears to be cursing the evil ones, in a religious ...

This play worked because of the storyline and some of the mystery behind it but there were sidebars that could have been elaborated on or even explored. To try to cope with the circumstance that the Barlows have lost their son, they have went ...

“Do you love travelling?” this is a statement that has been in the media for quite some time. The statement in some sense is a rhetoric question. Of course everybody loves travelling.

Upon arrival at USA, there is a distinct difference in the weather. This is especially so because of the snow and cold weather that comes during winter. This is as opposed to the hot weather, all in year round, in Saudi Arabia. Consequently, this means that people have different attire for the different seasons of the year. Wintertime calls for heavy dressing at every time of the day. The scenery created by the milky-white snow is just amazing, especially in the morning and evening when the rising and settling sun shines on it.

The Sequoia and Kings Canyon in the United States is famous for having the highest and the jagged relief in the entire Sierra region. The rugged topographical nature of these parks is attributed to the formation of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in eastern California. According to Liu and Shen, the formation of this mountain range has been the subject of profound controversy (299). Huber suggested that the uplifting of the range, now approximated at slightly over 2800m above the adjacent lowlands, occurred in the past 20 million years (Liu & Shen 299).

Christina’s world is a painting by American artist Andrew Wyeth. The painting is an immaculate depiction of a woman, mournfully and pensively musing at her house. Although her gaze is hidden from the viewer, as Christina is turned away from the artist and depicted from the back, her figure suggests her mood to be redolent with melancholy and sadness.
The painting was painted three years after the artist’s father had been killed in a railway accident (MoMA, 2009). Evidently, this tragedy had a great impact on Andrew Wyeth’s art and this shock and grief had progressed into the further ...

One such concept, that this paper seeks to address, is eco-tourism.

Love by definition may be an emotion explored in literature, philosophy and religion, frequently as either as the love of God, romantic love or the fraternal love of others. As I searched the meaning by means of articles, the Internet and books, I noticed the meanings changed moderately; however, love had similar fundamental understanding.
Whether it is a source of enormous hurt, a pain infliction, or an intense sensation of pleasure, the three immensely different reactions may be common ‘side effects’ of love. For instance, when I was 15 years old, I loved a girl who never liked me because of ...

The most incomparable place to stay, besides in my mum’s arms, is in Harrogate in Tennessee. Its rolling hills, spaciousness and clean crispy air, all go beyond city life. Experience and memories of the place quite often have a specialty in my heart. Nature, in the Harrogate, relaxes everyone with its natural smell and beauty. It snows fervently during winter seasons. However, this does not make it a bad place to stay because unless it is rainy, most days remain warm, sunny and bright. The sky is less burning, turns grey and less bright during winters.
