I believe that the exact meaning of immortality cannot be existed; no one has the ability to live forever. Actually, it is a divine attribute not an inherent part of humans. However, I believe in spiritual immortality even there are many groups of people do not assent to the notion that people will live forever whether in heaven or hell after their death. The beliefs of immortality differ from one to another according to his religion, traditions and culture, but all people agree on a significant

of hell to viewers. In the late 1400’s, most painters created religious paintings for teaching people moral lessons, some of whom chose holy subjects, such as heaven and angels, to inspire the faithful to lead good lives. Others, like Bosch, preferred to use fear, scaring people in order to lead them away from sin. Hieronymus Bosch, an early Dutch painter used fantastic images to illustrate religious and moral definitions, was the first surrealist painter. He used many signs, symbols and original
“The Verdict “by Edith Wharton was very interesting, I would have to say this story is very suspenseful. The excellent part about this story is the dialogue well put together I enjoyed every part of reading this story. However I would have to say it was high art vs. low art, meaning people loved low art even though they didn’t really understand the concept of high art. For example high art lives in being unaware and unconscious of what’s going on around them, and with low art works hard to make their
about the French painter. Today, little is known about Dreux who was born in 1810. However, his works of art including the "Napoleon III” horse riding portraiture prove that the painter loved his work. Painters in the late 17th century never knew the amount of money their original works would be earning today. Since the paintings are rare, and the state protects most of them in various museums, a glimpse on Dreux's work remains an opportunity of a lifetime. The celebrated painter learned the

Art in the Renaissance “Known as the Renaissance, the period immediately following the Middle Ages in Europe saw a great revival of interest in the classical learning and values of ancient Greece and Rome” (History). The word Renaissance is French for rebirth (Sachs 7). The origins can be traced back to Italy in the 14th century (History). Florence, Venice, and Rome grew into major centers in art, due to the changes that were occurring during this time (Sachs 7.) Artists across the country
idea of perception, but the experience of it as well. Walter Sickert is an example of an impressionist painter, who not only based many of his paintings on photographs, but manipulated light and colour to better represent the emotion of a scene, a stolen moment of the everyday lives the photograph depicted. His art was monumental in the modernist period, and like many other impressionist painters, he reshaped the idea of perception. On the literary side, lines of realism and tradition were also beginning
the Spanish court of King Philip 1V. The most obvious focal point of the composition is the young princess, the infant Margarita, who is emphasized by her position in the center of the painting by the light that sines brilliantly on her alone (Klein, 142). By the implied lines created by the gaze of the two maids of honor who bracket her.

and the Artistic Temperament, Kay Redfield Jamison explores the compelling connection between mental disorders and artistic creativity. Artists have long been considered different from the general population, and one often hears tales of authors, painters, and composers who both struggle with and are inspired by their "madness". Jamison's text explores these stereotypes in a medical context, attributing some artists' irrational behaviors to mental disorders, particularly manic-depressive illness.

He mainly painted in the service of royalty, radical revolutionaries, and

both scientists and the middle-class could use to capture an accurate image of their subjects (Kleiner & Maymiam, 2005). During this period of time only the rich upper-class were able to capture images of their familes and important aspects of their lives through a type of art called realism. This technique involved many hours of painting and siting in one area for a long time, and was very expensive.

I have never thought anything of my type of intelligence until we started discussing two psychologists theories about different types of intelligence in class. According to Sternberg's triarchic theory of intelligence, I feel my profile would fit more in the analytic intelligence and slightly in the practical intelligence. Sternberg's analysis of analytic intelligent people says, "They often are considered to be "smart" students who get good grades, show up in high-level tracks, do well on traditional
