The New York Times Bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas entitled “The Assassin’s Blade” is, in my opinion, one of the best novel written. The genres of this book are fiction, fantasy fiction, and young adult fiction. This is a great book to read, the author of this book divided the book into five separate stories. The separate stories still flow together, and each has a different theme. I would highly recommend this book to young adults.

The Knife of Never Letting Go, book one of three in the Chaos Walking series, is a science fiction novel written by Patrick Ness in 2008. This British-American author, journalist, and lecturer was born in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. He studied English Literature at the University of Southern California and he is now greatly known for his books for young adults, including the Chaos Walking trilogy and A Monster Calls. His book The Knife of Never Letting Go won a numerous amount of awards including the Booktrust Teenage Prize, the Guardian's Children’s Fiction Prize, and the 2008 Tiptree Award. Patrick Ness is a brilliant author who is the mastermind of many impressive novels.

“The Knife Thrower” - the name says it all, but at the same time it tells us nothing about the text. The story is very secretive and does a very good job capturing the reader. It seems as if

The dagger of deception can be more painful than physical wounds themselves. These two faced, deceitful appearances and words can cause great emotional pain and ruin. This is the case in the novel Warcross, by Marie Lu. Emika Chen, data miner extraordinaire, gets into a relationship with the CEO of Warcross, Hideo Tanaka, who breaks her heart by keeping his secret savage side from her, hiding it with the facade of his composed businessman attitude. The bounty hunter who she pledges to take down crushes her soul immediately by stealing all of her memories that she keeps near and dear to her. Emika is left unable to chase him down, but gets grief-stricken when the true identity of the person Hideo hired her to hunt down turns out out to be Hideo’s

Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South and Madonna Enthroned are very similar images that were produced by very different cultures. Both images were produced during the 13th Century. The image of Rathnasambhava, the Transcendent Buddha of the South was produced in Tibet during an interesting period of the country’s religious history. The branch of Tibetan Buddhism is led by a religious and sometimes political leader called the Dalai Lama. It was during the 13th Century during the reign of Kublai Khan, around the time of the production of this painting, that Tibet experienced the first incarnation of the Dalai Lama. One has to wonder if this painting is somehow related to that occurrence. According to

So much more can be conveyed in artwork when a finite canvas doesn’t imprison an artist. Pushing the boundaries of artwork from previous time periods allows new artists and graphic designers to experiment with, challenge, and/or destroy the rules of graphic design. This allowed for designs that truly challenge the audience, as well as other designers. Take for example the grunge artwork of David Carson who broke most compositional and legibility rules of graphic design – his style can be summarized by the phrase “expressive deconstruction.” Anything from grunge, to street art, to carving writing into your own body with a knife is considered Contemporary Design. In this world of art no authority can tell you what you’re allowed to do. With the definition of art so stretched, it really gives a lot of freedom to those of the contemporary time period to express a wide range of ideas.

Markus Zusak's compelling story The Book Thief shows young Liesel and how she works through the heart wrenching reality of her brother passing away and her mother leaving her with a foster family she had never met before. As Liesel matures she learns more and more about what is going on in the world outside of Himmel street and the truth about her mother. She also discovers how she truly feels about the word communist and what it means to her family. Whether it was the message or the characters or even the settings, that contribute to a superb novel that everyone should read.

The art piece that I chose to critique is the sculpture of a figure kneeling down and getting shocked. It is located on campus near the Morris University Center(muc). When I first saw this sculpture it caught my attention immediately, because of how gruesome the piece was. I feel like I don’t have a good understanding of what the sculpture represents, but it seems like it would raise plenty of controversy, due to its erotic features. It seems like the artist was venting his emotions when he created his idea. The sculpture is fairly large in size, which makes it noticeable, among the other art pieces on campus. The sculpture media consist of wood and concrete, and metal mostly. The individual is keeling down toward the west and is supported

In the art world, the medieval periods were traditionally though to be the unproductive phase of Europe between the decline of Rome and the Renaissance. Our modern feelings toward medieval art are far more appreciative. The main intent of Medieval art was to express Christianity which was also a common bond between a wide spread and diverse Europe. For this reason most of the art found from medieval times originated in monasteries and churches. European art during the Middle Ages can be divided into four periods. These four periods include Celto-Germanic art which ranged from 400 to 800 A.D. and was important in metal work. Carolingian art ranged from 750 to 987 A.D. overlapping 50 years of the Celto-Germanic period. The

If you have some free time and have always wanted to visit an art gallery, a start is the Art Sacré exposition. Just do not expect high quality art. Running from October twenty-third to December eight-teenth at Les Salles de Gesù, the exposition features four artists depicting spirituality and inner self.

The history of art dates back to ancient times. Artwork can be, and was, found around the world. What makes art interesting is that it can be created in any way, shape or form with any materials. It seems that the artwork can also tell us a lot about the artist. Art seems to be simply, a direct, visual reflection of the artist’s life. Therefore, one can assume that an artist’s life experiences and beliefs directly influence their art. If we look at examples from different periods of art we will be able to see the connection between the artist and the art.
