Alex Roby ARTH 4307 2/27/12 Codex Ixtlilxochitl Part One The post Aztec Codex Ixtlilxochitl was created after the Spanish invaded in 1519, which makes it a post – conquest manuscript. Most believe that a Nahuatl person painted it during the years 1568-1650 (Glass and Robertson 1975a: 171; Lesbre 1988: 97). Lesbre also states that in this codex there are elements of traditional glyphs, bidimensional perspectives or numerous stylistic weaknesses that suggest their author was indigenous (Lesbre 1988: 97). H.S. Reed believes that a Tezucan scholar, under the direction of a European teacher, was the one who created this codex in the year 1530 (Reed 1938: 66).
Botticelli’s Birth of Venus “The Birth of Venus” was painted by Alessandro di Mariano di Vanni Filipepi, better known as Sandro Botticelli. Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” circa 1485 is the first large-scale canvas created in Renaissance Florence Italy. The canvas painting is approximately 68” x 110” or 173 cm x 279 cm. The original painting was titled “Venus Anadyomene” which means Venus rising from the sea. The better known title of “The Birth of Venus” didn’t come into existence until the 19th century.
Jim was viewing the world in a different point of view, instead of only using the normal perception to view the world, he thought of how the birds’ viewed and remembered the world. He was amused by how the birds were and this shows his love for the birds. The ability to view thing in the birds’ point of view also shows that he is very familiar with them. He also mentioned about finding the map is his own head is exactly the same as the real view from the plane. This further proves Jim’s familiarity with the land, hence, showing the love and the passion for this piece of land.
People felt a great attraction towards Rome, and some wanted to be part of it. Rome was surprisingly open to learning about traditions and practices of other people. This allowed them to stay informed about their surroundings which was a great advantage to the empire. A factor that also helped the Romans to be a hyper power was that they were willing to replace their practices and traditions with better ones. This means that they were always bettering themselves.
Jack was played by Alex Rothfield. Alex was the perfect person to be Jack because in the musical he needed to be energetic, and he did. Alex did a very good job with projecting his voice and speaking clearly. My favorite part in the musical was when Jack stole the chicken that lays golden eggs from the Giant. I thought Alex played that part very well, because he interacted with the chicken and brought character into it as well.
Hawaiians live a simple life and have a very unique culture. They are used to the high expenses, but with their ‘worry free’ nature, they are less concerned about being rich and are satisfied with having just enough money for them to pay their bills and get food on the table. A nice aspect of their way of life is that they are not that materialistic and they are more focused on the earth and the nature around them. Their culture welcomes everyone and they use the word ‘Aloha’ to express many welcoming words like hello, goodbye, and many other ideas like I love you. Hawaiians know their surroundings and respect and honor the nature around them as a family member.
The “A Very Rare Bird” piece I feel the artist is either not very wealthy or just loves to take time and view life in anything. He takes what he can and makes something beautiful and life like out of it. I feel it depicts the artist as a naturalistic person. Like he is an outdoorsman and loves to be in nature. Probably loves to fish, hunt, and I’m guessing work with old cars.
This has been made possible thanks to good music, excellent actors and an unpredictable story. While watching the movie Casablanca, I really enjoyed the different types of music. The music was nice because it shows all kinds of languages and sounds. For example, in one of the flashback scenes in Paris, Rick and Ilsa dance to Rhythm of Perfidia by the Mexican composer Alberto Domínguez. Also another scene from the movie, which was characterized by music and that definitely impressed me, was when Laszlo begins singing followed by many people, La Marsellesa, the French national anthem, even before the occupation of the country.
Public bathes were not only relaxing but made it easier for Romans citizens to socialize and discuss politics with each other. The theater provided was a more calming form of entertainment for the Romans that also produced laughter. Gladiatorial games played a very important role in the Roman Empire. Examples of the importance are how the games were held in such high honor of the gods and how it was they were celebrated, from ancient paintings and paintings. The games pleased the Roman people and satisfied their need for blood in times of war, because Romans believed that to be a true gladiator meant to be a true Roman It also serves as a link of communication between the Roman people and the emperor, an example of this was the Colosseum that was built by the emperor Vespasian, The games provided Vespasian a way to communicate with the Roman society.
Flowers are a very popular symbol in Wycinanki, along with chickens, peacocks and trees. It expresses a landscape and the colors of flowers during spring or summer; in Poland, each element of the art represents something. For example, flowers represent giving, birds represent “free spirit and freedom”, and a circle represents “perfection with no beginning”. The art element used the most seems to be color, as with the brightness of the pinks, greens and blues. Though Nowacka-Jannotta’s work isn’t completely original seeing as she drew inspiration from many generations of Polish
