understanding. I look at modern drama from a thematic perspective. Part of what defines modern drama for me is an emphasis on experiences and predicaments that have applicability to as many people as possible. Modern drama speaks loudly and lucidly to multiple parties‚ and can articulate struggle and redemption in a manner that makes it understandable to all in the modern setting. Its relevancy is effective in real time. For example‚ a reason I consider Beckett’s Waiting for Godot modern drama because it

Classical art dates back to as early as 500 B.C. during the rise of the Greek Empire to the Roman.

Poetry Analysis Research: Elizabeth Bishop “One Art” One Art by Elizabeth Bishop is a villanelle poem. A villanelle poem is a nineteen line poem that consists of five‚ three-line stanza followed by a quatrain. Bishop’s poem brings a fascinating irony between different levels of losses.

Written some fifty years ago‚ here is a more damning indictment of modern society than anything the existential crowd of Bertrand Russell‚ Albert Camus or Jean Paul Sartre could cook up. The Art of Loving is a very concise and pithy read‚ it is written in the terse lucid style of gospel‚ each word in each line serving a critical function. This is not a writer’s style nor is a critic’s but that

Selma Hougeir Art History- Reflection paper #1 Learning about African arts was very interesting to me. I was born in North Africa and have seen a lot of North African arts‚ but never really knew much about the sub- Saharan African arts.

The remarkable Terra cotta pottery heads were made from fired clay. They came
