The Lacedaemonian Constitution By: Jarred Salha Athens & Renaissance Florence Research Seminar Professor Horowitz December 8, 2009 “The Lacedaemonian Constitution” Sparta has always been admired for its dedication to ideas, discipline and stability. One of the concepts which Greeks admired was the Spartan constitution, which was a combination of oligarchy, monarchy and democracy. Historians have addressed the question of whether the Spartan constitution was effective, and worthy of admiration, in two primary ways: the application of its laws and their effect, and the process by which the governing body was assembled. It is generally agreed that the constitution was a success because Sparta accomplished
Jade Savage Mrs. Crabtree April 15, 2012 Art Appreciation Class Cameron University Formal Art Analysis The Greek Sculptor Polykleitos And His Creation “The Doryphoros” This formal art analysis is for the Art Department of Cameron University. I am a student of Mrs. Crabtree of the Duncan branch, Cameron University. Polykleitos was an ancient Greek sculptor practicing his art in the mid to late 5th century B.C. Polykleitos’ work has been admired throughout history for its beauty, proportion, form and he is considered to be one of the greatest sculptors in the classical art world. The two things Polykleitos paid attention the most in his work was composition (the “the Contrapposto”) and proportion (“the Canon”).
Humanities 101 25 July, 2015 The Parthenon High above the city of Athens sets the Parthenon. Although it is simple in structure, the wonderful artistry of this structure impacted classical architecture and still influences structures to this day. The Parthenon was built to house a grand, gold and ivory statue of the goddess Athena. Temples traditionally were to only be viewed from the outside (The Parthenon); the Doric style columns often interrupted the view of the temples. It was the largest Doric Greek temple but also used the Ionic temple styles (Ancient History).
This helps to reach a better understanding of why Hellenization actually occurred in Rome. As Rome was in the midst of a changing republic it looked on new ways to express ones power and wealth. They looked to the Greeks and saw the beautiful temples and structures being built by the wealthy and successful in battle, thus the romans began to use architecture as the Greeks did. Octavius was the first roman to Hellenize Rome with his porticus and therefore was the start to a new era in roman architecture. The reason the Porticus Octavia is relied on so much to describe the Hellenization is due to how similarly Octavius modeled after the Greeks.
So the radian is the measure of how close a degree is to a complete circle. * How do special right triangles directly relate to the unit circle? There are two types of special right triangle, 90, 60, 30 and 45, 45, 90. With both triangles, the angles of degrees are directly related to the x and y values on the unit circle. With the case of 90, 60, 30 and 90, 45, 45, the angles are relative to the sin of its value on the unit circle.
In 1864, after the Civil War, the composition of the Indian penny changed again - 95% copper and 5% zinc and tin. “The Coinage Act of 1864” was passed which made the penny legal currency. The penny’s composition (95% copper and 5% zinc) remained the same for over forty years, with the exception of 1943 the penny’s composition was zinc - coated steel due to the use of copper for the war effort. In 1909, Abraham Lincoln was the first historical figure on a U.S. coin. It commemorated his 100th birthday.The Lincoln penny was the first U.S. cent to include the words, “In God We Trust” from 1909-1958; the Lincoln coin’s flipside featured a wheat design.
Art was a crucial aspect of expressing Renaissance ideas. Italian sculptors, painters, and architects in particular did a fantastic job of communicating Renaissance concepts in their artwork. Three of the most central humanistic beliefs during this period of time were the appreciation of the individual, the emphasis on the real rather than the abstract, and the imitation of past civilizations. The sculpture “David”, by Italian artist Michelangelo, is an excellent example of the humanistic emphasis on appreciating the individual and dignifying the human kind. Michelangelo depicts David as a strong, godlike figure, emphasizing the size of his hands and feet.
Both of these formulas were found on page 225 in Mathematics in Our World (Bluman, 2005). Problem #37 • This sequence is geometric • Ending balance is $814.45 STEPS/CALCULTATIONS YOU PERFORMED TO REACH THE ANSWER: To find the ending balance, the formula of An = a1(rn-1) will be used. The initial balance is $500, the interest is 5%, and the time span is 10 years. 5% will be listed as 1.05 as the initial balance is 100% plus 5% interest, so 105% is written 1.05. The number of terms is n=10, the first term is a1=525, the common ratio is r = 1.05.
When I looked at the date when this was created I immediately guessed that he might have been a student of Giotto di Bondone. I thought this because I learned that Giotto was the most influential western artist of all time. He was a master of the International Gothic style which basically combined Byzantine and northern European art. Perhaps
Albrecht Durer was born in Germany on May 21, 1471. The son of a goldsmith, Durer was trained as a metalworker at a young age. Later, he applied the same meticulous, exacting methods he learned in his apprenticeship to his woodcuts and engravings, notably the Four Horsemen of his Apocalypse series (1498), and his Knight, Death and Devil (1513). As a result, Durer was renowned for his detail and precision, and became one of the most influential painters of his time. Durer frequently traveled to Italy; most of his works were inspired by Italian artists such as Leonardo da Vinci.
