Ideal Woman Average American

The American women of today can never be too thin
or too pretty. In most cases thin equates beauty,
so the present ideal is a thin, fit, radiantly
healthy, young woman. In magazines stuffed with
models and advertisements, billboards on the
highway, and actresses on TV, the message of what
women should look like is everywhere. The
inescapable presence of these images in effect
shapes the image of women today. It is very
unfortunate that the media influences American
society to the point that it d...

Geometric Shapes Ancient Greek

Ancient Greek art set the bar for artists around
the world for thousands of years and still does
today. Its sophistication peaked during the
Classical Period which has been called the Golden
Age of Greek art. The idea of being able to make
the world and people around oneself seem flawless
was captured through their art. From the usage of
geometric shapes to the idea of symmetry helped to
give way to the idea of equilibrium, a balance, to
which the Greeks held as one idea of perfection.

The fog drifts lazily above the murky swamp water
as I slowly ease my boat toward an ancient, moss
covered cypress tree. A bullfrog croaks its early
morning greeting and somewhere off in the distance
an unknown creature screeches as the hair on the
back of my neck stands on end. The old tree was
the site of a recent battle between a monstrous
black bass and me. A battle in which the big bass
taught me a valuable lesson in humility. I have a

Feet Wide Number One

Being poor in the fifties was not the ordeal it
had been during the Depression. Artists scrambled
from week to week, month to month, without deep
fears of complete ruin, and now they can't recall
precisely how they managed. Even memories of first
sales are dim. Most of the hard facts about
artists' incomes in the fifties float on the
currents of Jackson Pollock's legend. According to
Tony Smith, Pollock's art earned him about $ 2,
600 in 1950. One sold for $ 6, 000 in 1954; soon
afterward, Blue ...

geometry is a branch of mathematics having to do
with fractals. Fractals are geometric figures,
just like rectangles, circles and squares, but
fractals have special properties that those
figures do not have. In geometry two figures are
similar if their corresponding angles are
congruent in measure. Fractals are self-similar
meaning that at every level the fractal image
repeats itself. An example of self-similarity
would be a triangle made up of t...

but less than the sailors. Since the golden drop
of paint is all alone, it blends in with the gray.
