“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

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.
