Picasso At The Lapin Agile - Dramatic Criticism
Words: 750 / Pages: 3 .... involving the characters who come into the bar and their relationship to time as well as each other. The script is an abstract look at the chance meeting of historical
figures and the role these meetings will have on the future. Perhaps one of the most attractive aspects of the script is its ability to ask the same questions of the audience that it does from one character to another. For example, the owner of the “Lapin Agile”, Freddy attempts to stump Albert Einstein with a mathematical problem that the audience couldn’t have enough time to equate. This style of fast paced dialogue and action fills the entire script from the opening line, ad .....

History Of Jazz And Classical Music
Words: 1741 / Pages: 7 .... classical, found in stores and performed regularly by
symphonies around the world, spans a length of time from 1600 up to
the present. This time frame includes the Renaissance, Baroque,
Classical, Romantic and Contemporary periods. The classical period of
music actually spans a time from of 1750 to 1800; thus, the term
Classical is a misnomer and could more correctly be changed to Western
Art Music or European Art Music. European because most of the major
composers up till the 20th century were European. Vivaldi was Italian,
Bach was German, Mozart and Beethoven were Austrian; they are some of
the more prominent composers. N .....

Themes Of Italian Renaissance Art
Words: 854 / Pages: 4 .... David clearly supports Mirandola's statement.
Since Renaissance art focused on representing
tangible, human figures, rather than depicting scenes from
the Bible in order to praise God, the artists had to think
in more natural, scientific terms. Artists became familiar
with mathematics and the concept of space, as well as
anatomy. Lorenzo Ghiberti studied the anatomical
proportions of the body, Filippo Brunelleschi was
interested in mathematics in architecture, Leone Battista
Alberti, who was skilled in painting, sculpture and
architecture, stressed the study of mathematics as the
underlying principle of the arts (Fleming, 285). L .....

For Another Man's Freedom
Words: 527 / Pages: 2 .... were in the heads of the soldiers
at the time. During the fighting these soldiers not only did not see this
as the rebirth of a nation, but had "forgotten the cause" altogether. I do
not believe that these men were necessarily fighting specifically for the
rights of the slaves, but rather for the rights of all men including
themselves. These men were thought to be "privileged", and at the time I
am sure they believed that they were taking part in an inconceivable
historical event. I am sure that at that time they did not realize that
this would be an ongoing struggle even three-hundred years after their
existence. The soldiers entered this bat .....

A Look At Post Modern Architecture In California
Words: 3492 / Pages: 13 .... determined surroundings, the final users are not know to him, and can change as the market allows. (Steele, 6) Eric Owen Moss has been described as a "Jeweler of Junk." More likely then not, Philip Johnson used this term to describe Moss for the way he combines different materials in his projects when he is exploring the complexity of his spaces. This term is not fully accurate; Moss merely wishes one to recognize or not to recognize the different materials in their functions and in their relationships to other materials. Los Angeles/Southern California is the bellwether region for architectural design. The residential home is a way for the arch .....

The Manhattan Project
Words: 1621 / Pages: 6 .... and Nagasaki
bombings were always taught to me with some opinion, and I always wanted to
know the bomb itself and the unbiased effects that it had. This I-search
was a great opportunity for me to actually fulfill my interest.
The Manhattan Project was the code name for the US effort during World War
II to produce the atomic bomb. It was appropriately named for the
Manhattan Engineer District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, because much
of the early research was done in New York City. Sparked by refugee
physicists in the United States, the program was slowly organized after
nuclear fission was discovered by German scientists in 1938, and .....

The Turbulent Sixties
Words: 1633 / Pages: 6 .... songwriters of the 1960's were rarely without inspiration.
Perhaps the most powerful incentive came from the movement to end the
Vietnam War. Many of the most prominent musicians of that generation aided
the struggle to protest against and attempt to end the war. The most
popular song to be considered an anthem against the war efforts was called
"Blowin' in the Wind," written by Bob Dylan in 1962 while he was living in
New York. The song is centered around racism and militarism, two main
focal points which were principal in many early sixties protest songs
(Pichaske 58). Dylan used conventional symbols to blatantly state his
point; a whit .....

Very few naval battles were actually fought on the seas during The War Against Yankee Oppression. Contrary to the common conception of a naval battle, most were fought inland on such rivers as The James, The Virginia, the Mississippi river, and the Missouri River.. When the South began their moves on Northern Naval bases and ship yards on the James, they had no idea what they were about to unleash.
