Venus: The Mighty Turtle

Venus of Urbino illustrates a young woman, Venus, lying nude on what appears to be a reclined couch or bed. However, the woman depicted means much more than merely a nude woman. There have been many interpretations of this beautiful woman over the years but many art historians agree that the Venus of Urbino has to do unambiguously with the male sexual desire for the female nude body.

The Venus of Willendorf was believed to be created 25,000 years ago, is none-freestanding sculpture and is sculpted out of oolitic limestone. The subject matter I believe it to convey a fertility figure for men and woman to gaze upon. The Venus of Willendorf is a none-freestanding female nude stature, which is an 11 centimeters high, made out of oolitic limestone and now resides in Naturhistorisches Museum. She was found in 1908 in Austria in a village called Willendorf. This small oolitic limestone figure representing a woman in the nude is believed to be created 25,000 years ago. The stature has been carved out of oolitic limestone and has been given a red ochre tint. I believe that Venus of Willendorf was created to represent fertility in

Ever since the beginning of the Stone Age around 25,000 B.C. and throughout the late classical period in 400 B.C., we can infer and see that both men and women have been portrayed in many ways when viewing particular cultures around the time period. The representation of the female body can be seen through numerous pieces of Art. Ladies and Gentleman the figurine in front of you is called “The Venus of Willendorf”, and it is the oldest female figurine statuette. It most likely symbolizes female fertility. Now some of you may be wondering why this figurine is half naked. The reason for this again ties back to the cultures of Mesopotamia. Multiple Mespopotamian related cultures seem to have made this

Poetry has a way of having a significant impact on the way society thinks about and conceptualizes certain issues. In fact, a major part of the culture of a society comes from the poetry at the time and this has been true dating as far back as the work of William Shakespeare. Today, on the other hand, society has developed and advanced significantly and American society in particular. Whereas cultures and societies were traditionally grouped together, the United States has been different in that it has been one of the greatest cultural and societal melting pots in the history of the world. Consistent with Caucasians, African Americans, Latin Americans, men, women, and a variety of other diverse demographics all in between, the United States also faces societal issues that are much different than those which may take place in as a result of such a diverse population base. Among the most significant issue that takes place in this regard is the significant amount of inequality. Inequality has been the focus of many contemporary poems and is one of the leading topics of focus in modern poetry analysis.

Native Americans believe that all living things are important. They think living things are a main creditor as to why Native Americans are existing today. The authors of “The Earth On Turtle's Back” and “When Grizzlies Walked Upright” both have retold legends on what the Native Americans believed. “The Earth On Turtle's Back” and “When Grizzlies Walked Upright” both have some differences, but mostly are similar.

What is the significance of the Venus of Willendorf and the Catal Huyuk figures and what do they demonstrate about the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras? The Venus of Willendorf and the Catal Huyuk were, and still are exquisite pieces of art. Both of the sculptures a many profound meanings behind them that are so interesting to learn about. While looking at them and seeing their history and value you get a deep look inside the Paleolithic and Neolithic era.

Everyone had it in their mind that where the stars were around the Earth would

While the diameter of Venus is 12,092 km, when compared to the Earth Venus is only 650 km smaller. Even though the Earth and Venus share a lot of similarities such as composition of the ground, gravity, and diameter, this is where the differences come in. Earth is capable of supporting life; Venus is hazardous to life. The Earth has liquid water, and hard rocky surface, Venus’ land masses is made of hardened magma, with very little rocky surfaces. Another key difference between the two planets is Venus has a weaker magnetic field when compared to the Earth. Venus also spins very slowly once per 243 Earth days; this could be the result of Venus’ core not being as active or even if it if

In many ways Venus is found to be similar to Earth. However their similarities do not extend further than their physical properties, for instance, their atmospheres differ greatly from each other. Venus is said to have atmospheric pressure of 92.1 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) which it is evidently 92 times greater than Earth’s that is 1.01 barometers (Adams, D. Et al., 1994 p.126) at sea-level. In spite of this comparison to Earth’s atmospheric pressure, Venus owns an out of the ordinary atmospheric composition.

I had the marvelous opportunity to hear Dr. Morgan Frank read from her book Spokes of Venus that was recently published. The reading took place at T-bones café, one of my favorite places in Hattiesburg, and the atmosphere was quiet welcoming and comforting. How Dr. Frank found the title of her book from a story about the astronomer Percival Lowell was extremely intriguing. In her book Dr. Frank really embraces the spirit of honors forum. In one of her poems she mentions the historical connection of art and science and this particular thought really stuck out to me. Some of the greatest scientific minds in history were inspired by various forms of art. It is crazy to assume that because a person enjoys science that the arts are unimportant to

Venus of Urbino demonstrates a beautiful, young woman, Venus, lying nude on what appears to be a reclined couch or bed. However, the woman illustrated means much more than merely a nude woman.

Florence, Italy. He left Florence in 1480 to help decorate the Sistine Chapel in Rome with some of his art which only the most famous painters of that time were invited to do. In 1482, Botticelli returned to Florence and shortly

During the Upper Paleolithic era artists created a wide range of small sculptures. These sculptures were made from various materials, including ivory, bone, clay, and even stone. They represented humans, as well as animals; they even combined them at times. Most of the sculptures from this time show a high level of skill. From this time, there were two very influential sculptures, The Venus of Willendorf and the Venus of Laussel. This paper will discuss both sculptures, in detail, as well as, compare and contrast them.

The Birth of Venus is a beautiful Renaissance canvas masterpiece created by Sandro Botticello. The picture illustrates the birth of Venus in a very mystical way. Venus has emerged from sea on a shell which is being driven to shore by flying wind-gods. She is surrounded by beautiful roses which are painted in a truly remarkable color. As she is about to step to land, one of the Hours hands her a purple cloak. The back drop includes the sea and a forest. The overall effect of this painting are almost overwhelming, color and beauty meet the eye in every angle.

For my vacation, my family has chosen to go to Venus. This our first year traveling outside of earth so we chose a planet close. Venus is covered with a thick layer of sulfuric acid which will be a blast to land into but on the inside Venus is solid. Venus shines super bright and has orangish yellow tint. The overall look of Venus is dreary and the gas covers the area with a goldish hue and everything looks like gunmetal. Venus is VERY hot, it temperature reaches to about 870 degrees Fahrenheit! On top of the scorching heat the Atmospheric pressure is bone crushing and highly dense.Venus is about 0.72 light years away from the Sun and blank light years from Earth. Venus is very much like earth and not very much like earth. Venus is about the same size as earth
