Looking at Pictures (Berger) Final Draft Upon
receiving the assignment to visit the Museum of
Fine Arts and pick a painting that seems silent
and still yet invites conversation I was
originally frustrated and wanted to just get it
over with and pick out the first painting I saw.
However, once I entered the museum my stress and
frustration decreased and I wanted to take the
time to appreciate the artwork and find a piece
that thoroughly grabbed my attention. The classic
quiet building put me at e...

Until the late 1770 s Middle Tennessee was largely
unexplored, until a contingent of men and
livestock made the difficult trek from
Hillsborough, N. C. They traveled during the
coldest winter of the century in total isolation
in the undeveloped territory. They arrived on
Christmas day 1779, and were met six months later
by women and children. A fledgling community had
been created. Expansion happened almost
immediately for this small farming community. At
the same time the Colonies had fought fo...

I was looking for building 125 east 65 th street,
hoping that I would soon find any building looking
like a museum. Finally, I came upon a building
that looks like a rich brownstone in
mid-Manhattan. I checked the address to make sure
that my eyes were seeing correctly, and for sure,
it was the correct place. I had to walk up a small
flight of stairs and pass through a doorway that
was open. I only went a couple more feet before a
second door that was lock stopped me. There was a
white flat smal...

British Museum Written Language

More than 5, 000 years ago, a glorious
civilization called Mesopotamia arose in the area
between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. This
civilization took advantage of its countless
benefits. If there were any obstacles, the
Mesopotamian's adapted. Soon, great cities emerged
as a result of the discovery of farming, and there
was a surplus of food. Because of this surplus,
not everyone had to farm, which allowed
non-farming people to cull their expertise in
other fields, so to say. These people cre...

In 1851 Great Britain was arguably the leader of
the industrial revolution and feeling very secure
in that ideal. The Great Exhibition of 1851 in
London was conceived to symbolize this industrial,
military and economic superiority of Great
Britain. Just representing the feats of Britain
itself would have excluded many of the
technological achievements pioneered by the
British in its many colonies and protectorates, so
it was decided to make the exhibit truly
international with invitations being ...

Collective Memory Collective memory has become a
topic of rather heated debates recently, both in
political and sociological fields, and there are a
couple of solid reasons for that. Certainly, there
are a lot of horrifying and hideous acts that some
countries and individual leaders have committed,
and there are a lot of reasons why the present
generation wants those acts forgotten by everyone.
Although the individual members that can
potentially remember those acts might be already
deceased, th...

King Khafre Seated Egyptian art is infamous across

and the Sphinx. Although these are both valid
forms of Egyptian art, they do not make up the
entire artistic history of the country. On the
contrary, perhaps the most replicated example of
classic Egyptian art, from the Old Kingdom, can be
found in their rendering of the human form. An
interest in portraiture developed early in Egypt.

Deserted Rural Lane Person Has A Flat Tire Group

Last week while visiting the Whitney Museum, in
Manhattan, I made a point of it to sing as I
walked amongst the exhibit. This sort of behavior
is usually discouraged in museums because one
normally wouldn t care to hear another person
singing while they were trying to view the
artwork. It just so happened that because it was
the middle of the day, on a Thursday afternoon,
the museum had very few people in it, and I don t
think any one expressed discomfort or dislike to
my singing! Two of the gua...
