Andy Stanley's Analysis

Live life to the fullest - Do not waste the small time you have on this Earth. Live the promises of today, not the possibilities of tomorrow.

“For a lot of people, life is a series of day by day decisions, living each day trying to do the best we can, and where we end up in life is not always where we would have predicted when we were

"Thank God for giving us a mind to practice safe procedures in our lives, homes, jobs, and areas of play, so that we may error on the side of caution to live yet another day." ~ Jon Barnes

David Gushee spoke about the 2016 Presidential Election and how religion has played a role in the current outcome of Donald Trump as the GOP nominee. White Evangelicals specifically have played a crucial role in this outcome. Gushee explained why Donald Trump appeals to Evangelicals in comparison to other elections. He also spoke about the other GOP candidates and why, from a religious perspective, they did or did not appeal to voters. Gushee did mention the Democratic Party, focusing on Bernie Sanders Jewish background and Martin O’Malley’s Catholic background. He very briefly touched on Hillary Clinton’s religious background.

In the second half of the twentieth century, artistic movements made pushes in order to move beyond the traditional gallery space, changing the terrain of displaying and making art. An artist’s body of work no longer needed to reside inside of a gallery or art collection, and artists became free to explore other ways of creating and displaying work. In this vein, Andy Goldsworthy works sculpturally with natural media, and leaves the sculptures within a particular environment, often expecting his work to decay quickly. Many times, the only evidence of any art he makes is the photographs taken during the process. By more traditional standards, art of this nature is entirely contradictory. What is the point of pieces of visual art that cannot

O’Brien’s story about getting drafted to serve in the Army at the tender age of twenty-one made me sympathize but that doesn’t mean I particularly like his decision at the end of the chapter. He said it himself, he took a mild stand against the Vietnam War and was going to Harvard soon; he was too smart for it because unlike every other student drafted he had an actual future. When the young student thought about crossing the border into Canada to avoid the draft he chickened out of it, even though he went there and spent weeks building up the courage to do it. To me it seemed like his fear of losing respectability and being ridiculed were greater than his fear for his own life. If I were somehow in this particular situation I wouldn’t have

After viewing Peter Mansbridge's interviews with the three party leaders, it's clear that all of them are looking forward to strengthening Canada's financial aspect but the fact of the matter is that there is only so much realism you can see from only three men in a span of thirty minutes. However, if one is called upon to identify the most convincing one, I would go with Stephen Harper. My opinion is based solely on his willingness and desire to fulfill his promises directly from the national budget; and his ideology where admitting large quantities of refugees into the country is not a solution but rather a never-ending process; and finally, he wants to keep taxation rates below what it is now. This is not to say that the others don't offer

Tim Shaw is a sculptor who created a sculpture of a man in fire. This sculpture is called Erebus; it took him 7 years to finish this piece. This sculpture especially caught my attention as it is seen as a very strong and powerful sculpture. I have decided to draw this this sculpture because it could relate to my theme Decay. In my perspective by looking at this sculpture of a burning man could show that this man is at his last stage of life where he is about to die. This sculpture has a lot of meaning behind it…

Different exonerates go for activism to help them make peace with what has transpired. Dennis Stockton, who was as of late executed yet asserted guiltlessness all through his whole detainment, wrote in a book that he managed his approaching wrongful execution by tutoring youthful detainees and turning into an otherworldly consultant to others on death line. Sabrina Porter was liberated from Mississippi's demise push in the wake of being wrongfully indicted killing her nine-month old girl. Presently she goes to Innocence Network Conferences partially on the grounds that individuals are at long last listening to her, dissimilar to they did when she was first accused. Deskovic additionally goes around the nation on open talking engagements

“Take risks:If you win you will be happy;if you lose you will be wise.”It’s worth taking risks in life than to never try anything new.it’s good to risk something for a big problem,risks can come with a big reward,it’s O.K to make mistakes in life just you have to learn from them.

The idea of art being a unique interpretation of what an artist’s feels towards a particular thing has always been a given when talking about art. However, where is the line drawn on what art truly is and what it means to its audience? To do this, the idea of what art means must be applied to the idea of what art is. In Dorothy Allison’s This is Our World, the author touches on points of what art is and what it means to its viewers. These points and supporting stories point to the idea that art is subjective, personal, and provocative. This allows Allison to draw her conclusion that arts purpose is to depict the deeper meaning into situations and incidents that occur in our world. In Dorothy Allison’s journal, one can see how the author effectively conveys the ideas of art being personal and subjective, but fails at detailing how art can be subjective.

Andy Goldsworthy (Rivers and Tides) he is a very unique artist to start with, he uses medium in his art works that is found within its surroundings and turn it into a work of art. He likes to be always connected with nature, he loves the sea and river in connection with time as his concept. His work are in the patterns of snake like or river like shapes and an egg shape pattern. I like his work because it makes me feel at peace with nature which gives me a relaxing effect especially with the sound of water as a background while watching the art work.

A sense of place is defined as involving the human experience in a landscape and also grows from identifying oneself in relation to a particular piece of land on the surface of the Earth. It seems our advancing society has played a huge impact in our daily lives causing us to travel further away from our connection to the environment. Andy Goldsworthy, a British land artist from Yorkshire, made it his life goal to remind the rest of the world just how magical nature still is and the many different things that it openly represents to any willing eye. We are connected to the environment, and the environment is connected to us. The notion of time and it being temporary are aspects of life that our environment and every human have in common. Goldsworthy

"Purpose of our art is to create the life of a human soul and render it in an artistic form." (2)

Life consists of constant cycles of spontaneous outbursts of joy and unexpected disappointments; there is an upside to this repetitive tug of war. On this rock we call home, we are surrounded by the most gorgeous creations, structures, and landscapes that add a touch of serenity to our miserable existences called aesthetics. Aesthetics as an adjective is defined as concern with beauty of the appreciation of beauty. As a noun it means a set of principles underlying and guiding the work of a particular artist or artistic movement. The surrounding beauty that we take for continuous granted is significant towards our existence. In everyday interaction, we straddle the line between aesthetic judgement, where we appreciate any object, instead
