Spanish Traditional Dances
.... enjoy the festivities, often until very late into the night.
It is danced by series of four, each with a different dance, with a short interval between one and another. The most important movements are the walks and the end because the singing, the music and the dance stop together and the dancers stay in an elegant position due to the gallant dance.
Sardana
The Sardana is a Communal dance intimately bound up with Catalan national consciousness. It is danced by men and women who join .....

Standing Mahadeva
.... blesses devotees. His vehicle is a peacock, which is capable of destroying harmful serpents (symbolizing harmful ego and bad desires of people). He usually wears claws of the tiger in his neck, to suggest bravery. In this image, he has the claw necklace, the spear, and his vehicle peacock. He has four hands. Gods usually have four hands to show that they have more strength then a normal person.
Ganesha is on the right side of the Shiva. Ganesha, the youngest son of Shiva, is the god of knowledge a .....

Stanely Kubrick
.... become dehumanized-void of any saving graces such as benevolence, mercy, or forgiveness.
This dehumanization is also very present in 2001 where all of the limited dialogue goes into a whirlpool of unintelligible jargon. There is no meaningful dialogue between characters, no representations of inner thoughts and feelings; there is only the empty dialogue of technology which Kubrick couples with the cold emptiness of space. Thus characters like Dave speak, but the words they speak are not inherently .....

Star Wars Vs. Star Trek
.... in flat black with dark leather gloves. A special helmet covers his head. He sits surrounded by a triangular viewscreen in the center of the cockpit. The stealth fighter can easily fit into the Star Wars universe. Kids realized that Star Wars was more than a movie when they bought the X-wing, Tie fighter model kits, and watched on television grown special effects men playing with the same 'models' on Star Wars. Thousands of artists and would be filmmakers in out of the way towns with no film produc .....

Statue Of Liberty
.... This is a great symbol of art because The Statue of Liberty is magnificent in every way, and serves its purpose to a superb level. Like I mentioned previously, “location, location, location .. “ the statue’s location was perfect back in the days of Ellis Island and is perfect now as a tourist site. Shortly after the immigrants on the boats first spotted the land of their new homes, they came into the Hudson river to see this grand statue, and to most people it wasn’t just some lady who was standing in .....

Stomp
.... out to people saying that they can do anything that thy want to do. I was also impressed because they communicated with the audience by getting us to repeat the rhythm that they did. It made many hilarious movements. For example, they used sinks with water and through it on the audience. They also did this with sand and a mop. It was very interesting. I wish to see them again if I could because I am truly inspired by these talented young musicians.
In conclusion, I would like to say that I le .....

Streetcar Named Desire
.... feel special and she has no reminder of the price she is paying. Reason for her action is not proven in the play, but it is definite that Stella was in similar position as Blanche was in when she ran away from her tradition, and searched for her desire. "She tries to conceal from herself her true needs through hiding and drugging herself in a sex relationship." (Pg. 305 Kazan) No matter how Stanley treats her, Stella is so dependent on him that she gives up so much of herself. Stella is relatively ve .....

Swan Lake Vs. Revelations
.... The dancers own personality was brought out through their dancing. The music helped tell the events that were taking place but did not govern the dancers.
The way the dancers related to each other and the audience was very different in each dance. Revelations gave a sense of connecting with their audience. They made eye contact with the cameras and seemed to give a few gestures towards the audience. Swan Lake was completely opposite. They were just performing to perform. It seemed like the a .....

Syndretizm And Abstraction In Early Christian And Roman Art
.... to the surrounding culture was necessary for the survival of the new religion, and a primary cause of its triumph over the Greco-Roman religion." (The Begining of Christian Art , p.27) The catacomb paintings were rich in images, using iconography and symbolism to convey the ideas of Christian resurrectrion, salvation,and life after death. The style of these paintings mainly focused on the message, rather than on the naturalism of earlier Greco-Roman art. "The mundane aspects of the scenes are disregarded; .....

2001 A Space Odyssey - Jupiter And Beyond The Infinite - Set
.... by Kubrik, and indeed the set designer was how to portray a near incomprehensible, purely conceptual journey on film. One theory sits with the idea of a metaphorical shift of entities: the room we see is a metaphor for the human body and respectively, Dave Bowman, the main character, becomes a metaphor for the human mind.
One of the elements that makes this scene appear to be ambiguous is the absence of dialogue and meaningful audio accompaniment. This absence draws additional attention to the visu .....

Change Within Western Society From Roman Times To The Time O
.... structure was done in 20 BC, shortly after the Roman Empire was founded. Augustus Caesar "turned his energies to restoring civilian morale and rebuilding the city of Rome. By fostering a literature in their own Latin tongue, he reawakened the pride of his people in their historical past and present (Fleming, 93)." Since the Romans were so proud of these accomplishments, they constructed this sculpture to appear valiant and noble. His carriage shows unmistakable confidence, and his arm is raised as tho .....

Underwater Photography
.... when submerged, can be excellent "foreign" underwater photography objects. Objects such as doorknobs, old nails, and bottles are usually termed junk, but they are considered treasures after resting at the bottom of a body of water for a decade or two. The broken hull of a lifeless ship sixty feet below the surface is another intriguing photo opportunity that lures many photographers into the water.
Although the fundamentals of land photography - like measuring light, calculating exposure, focu .....

Utopia...Model Or Reality
.... set up by the government and society as a whole. I believe that by providing the answer to the timeless question of overcoming man's inherent evils in such a way More creates a perfect society to be modeled after. Many of the ideals in More's Utopia are, as the name implies, based on ideal situations and not reality. They would work well in a civilization of automatons, but would be abolished quickly in a human situation. Nevertheless, we can apply the ideals held by the Utopians to our own societies .....

Vincent Van Gogh
.... serve the peasants and coal miners of the Borinage, in southern Belgium, his manner was so intense, and his devotion to Christ's teachings so literal, that he antagonized his clerical superiors and probably frightened the people he wanted to help. Although he loved humanity, he could not communicate with individuals and, at twenty-seven, he turned to art to communicate for him. The major reason Van Gogh committed him to being an artist was that through art he could pour out his feelings. If he could not .....

Vincent Van Gogh The Successful Failure
.... both his mother and father at yet another time when his mother had tried to interfere with his life.
Vincent van Gogh quit his employment at Goupil's after a violent fight with his manager. He pursued his life's dream as a preacher. Vincent got a job teaching Sunday school and occasionally giving sermons. This career did not last either, as he was wearing rags and beginning to starve from a lack of food and perhaps a lack of love. Vincent van Gogh went crawling back to his parents for support .....
