Anthony P. Carnevale. <br>

Enjoy!
answers3: You may be interested in a "Great Books" curriculum, where
studies are built around readings from ~100 Great Books of the Western
Intellectual Tradition. There are perhaps two dozen colleges wholly or
in part teaching the Great Book Curriculum. Perhaps St John's College,
of Maryland and New Mexico, may be the most prominent.
answers4: The fundamental book of Western Civilization is the Bible. <br>
<br>
The fundamental books for the study of the United States are Democracy
in America by de Tocqueville and The Federalist Papers by Madison,
Hamilton, and Jay. You should also know the essays of Emerson and
Thoreau. <br>
<br>
You should know Shakespeare's most important plays, including Hamlet,
King Lear, Julius Caesar, and Romeo and Juliet. <br>
<br>
I hope that all of these works are still part of the high school
college prep curriculum, with the exception of the Bible, which does
not belong in a public high school curriculum. <br>
<br>
Fortunately, with each passing year the Communist Manifesto becomes
less important.

Humanities project?

answers1: If you prefer dancing look for information about the Russian
or English Schools of ballets, like the Kirov or the Royal Ballet.
<br>
If you prefer painting I recommended the impressionist movement. Look
for Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Gauguin or Seurat. You can find good
examples of this period in the Metropolitan Museum of N. Y., The
National Gallery on London, in the museums in Amsterdam or in the
Museo del Prado in Madrid. Enter on the sites of the museums and check
for information. <br>
If you don't like writing try painting a impressionist masterpiece in
a canvas with acrylic paint, use small dots of paint instead of brush,
use the Seurat's style. <br>
Good luck.
answers2: For painting look to Peter Paul Rubens for Marie de Medici
at the Luxembourg Palace in Paris. <br>
<br>
The riverlike flow is absolutely gorgeous.
answers3: So many great things to choose from! You could present
painting by Picasso, Van Gogh, Degas, Toulouse-Latrec, Renoir, Klee;
just check out the art books in your library. <br>
<br>
For dance, there's Isadora Duncan, Mikhail Barishnokov, Bob Fosse, for
starters. The movie "White Nights" had some amazing scenes mixing
Gregory Hines' tap with Barishnokov's ballet, even the plot is only a
vehicle for the dancing. <br>
<br>
Best wishes.

Is it true that Arts and Humanities people rate less?

answers1: Ahhhh, Curious Orange. Thumbs up and thumbs down is indeed
a rating system. In the Arts, beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
you know that. Many of the questions here fall into the rank of
average and mundane. The Arts and Humanities aspire to the higher
realms of visual beauty and standards, why should A&H want to
discourage the ascent of the normal person to higher climes by giving
thumbs down? It's all a learning experience for each individual. We
all are at different levels in our exploration of universal truths and
their implementation in our lives. <br>
<br>
We may appear to vote less, but there are fewer of us on the site than
others. If you look at All Catagories as the questions are listed on
Yahoo!Answers, you will see there are fewer questions for A&H people
to rate in the A&H catagory. Therefore fewer votes and ratings,
thumbs up or thumbs down. It is proportional. <br>
<br>
I could consider you as a "pot stirrer" or I could consider you a
person who raised the consciousness of others and makes them aware of
the discrepancies. <br>
<br>
We all follow our own paths. G'day.
answers2: It may be because it is not as busy a forum as others,
otherwise, I am at a loss for words. <br>

answers3: Thumbs up or thumbs down, it's better than having our thumbs
in our a••es!

Good Combination of Science and the Humanities?

answers1: I am a high school teacher who majored in English Education
and I now teach humanities and biology in addition to English. Have
you considered teaching? Of course, those who enjoy the material but
don't much like teaching never make the best educators, but if it's
something you like, I'd consider it. Outside of that and science
writing, I'm not sure how best to combine your interests. I find
Earth Science to be an excellent combination of science and humanities
because there is so much history (and anthropology and some biology
and a lot of other -ologies) involved in that stuff, if you get really
into it. That being said, I'm not sure what you would do with a
degree in that area. You could work in the field, but there would
likely be a considerable amount of lab work. If you don't want to
write or be a lab person, I'm not sure what you could do with your
interests except teach. I wish you luck!

Art Nouveau versus Art Deco?

answers1: When as the last time you saw someone stoned to death for
committing adultery in your town? People used to make a day out of
going to see the public hangings and executions. They would actually
pack a picnic lunch. Great fun! In the 19th century it was nothing to
see children starving in the streets of London, Paris, New York. Go
back further and you will find brutal tribal war and human sacrifice.
To say compassion is dying is a twisted view of history. We are more
compassionate now than we have ever been.
answers2: Art Nouveau this period was around 1900 to WW1 <br>

answers3: Art Deco is influenced by machines and represented with
streamlining. Art Nouveau is influenced by nature and the forms are
organic.
answers4: Basic difference – Art Nouveau is based on organic forms,
Art Deco on geometric. Art Nouveau is the earlier.

Do art colleges accept manga style art?

answers1: make it of art you thought of yourself. If you just do fan
art, it's going to appear that you lack imagination and don't have a
selective eye. Pick about 12-15 works that you think are your absolute
best, that you can see yourself hanging on a wall and/or showing to an
employer, because what a portfolio review is essentially IS a
portfolio interview. But make sure it's your absolute best work. Get
them professionally matted with white matts, museum cut ( bottom
weighted, meaning there is more mat on the bottom than the top or
sides). Make sure they are extremely clean looking. Invet in a good
hardshell portfolio. It's good but not required to have an artists'
statement and inventory list included in your portfolio as well. A
printed, matted portfolio is a MUST. Employers and schools often
evaluate every choice you make, including craftmanship of the mat
itself, as well as paper choice of your works. I had professors during
my graduate portfolio review open the mats to see how I had a work
attached to the backing (photo squares). As well as printed, DVD
portfolios are also common. Make sure the disc has a well designed
label! Also there are many ways to shw your work on disc. You can make
a simple Flash based gallery using Adobe Acrobat CS4 that you can burn
to a disc. If you have an automatically-moving slideshow, have the
slides sit for about eight seconds or so before moving on. That gives
the viewer a good chance to view your work. A resumé they can access
and read is also a must. Make the presentation as good as the work. A
print portfolio, whether they require it or not, is almost always
required by interviewing firms. Don't scrimp on it!
answers2: Colleges are more interested in your overall art skills,
rather than just what you can do in one particular category of art.
"Manga," although it is a valid art form, is a standardized, iconic
method of drawing. In college, you'll learn many aspects of drawing
and painting, and it will add greatly to your manga skills. My
advice...forget the manga for a while. Go to college...learn how to
draw and paint well, then return to Manga as a skilled pro and make a
fortune.
answers3: There must be art colleges which teach manga style art at
the US and at most countries. I think so because how do so many people
come up drawing anime? Probably some colleges specialize on anime.
