Derain’s Turning Road and Benton’s Haystack After visiting the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston for the first time‚ I observed many interesting works of art representing various time periods. Of all the paintings that I saw last week‚ two landscaped pieces seemed to stick out in my mind; Andre Derain’s The Turning Road and Thomas Hart Benton’s Haystack. Though these two art works are similar in subject matter‚ they clearly reflect the different styles and time periods of their artists; the abstract

Every year‚ for the past five years‚ my church youth group has gone on a mission trip to St. Louis. This mission trip was called The St. Louis Project‚ sponsored by Global Encounter.

The first year we went was my seventh grade year‚ there was a small group that

As I walked through the Blacks in Wax Museum I was both upset and happy by what I saw. Going into the slave ship and seeing the slaves being branded like livestock and shackled one on top of the other really brought to life the struggle that the slaves had to endure. I don’t understand how the white people can think of the slaves as less than human‚ and at the same time want to rape the women. The Lynching Exhibit opened my eyes to how cruel people can really be. What hit home was the story of pregnant

Through Joinville’s account of the sixth and seventh crusades in The Life of Saint Louis‚ we are informed about a few of the things that the crusaders learned from their direct contact with these Muslims‚ or ‘Saracens’ as Joinville calls them.

I did not realize how far into the city Manchester went and so it was a new experience for me. Much of Manchester Rd. in the city is very industrial with the train tracks running parallel to the road much of the time. There were trains present.

The art museum is a place that collects and preserves very valuable and profound pieces of art created by some of the most influential artists of all time. Not everyone can understand the emotions and profound ideas that are expressed in old works of art. Only a fraction of all people can really appreciate a fine work of art and understand its true meaning. Many people that go to the art museum do not belong. They do not hold the higher level of education needed to look at a painting and see its
