Reflection 8

  Yesterday I finished a book- Candide which in the end made me realize what is actually the most important in keeping yourself happy. It ended with the words "Let us cultivate our garden" which means to me that we have to keep ourselves busy even with simple activities to be satisfied. When I was thinking about it it reminded me of two weeks of the last summer that I spent with actually doing nothing effortable or productive. I remember that after that I felt even more lack of energy and satisfaction or happiness than if I was working really hard and was because of it exhausted. At least then I'd feel that I'm doing something important. That's why I think that these words are very accurate to nowadays world and we should keep them in mind when we e.g. complain for too much work.

  1. This is often a problem retired people have - having nothing to do they feel useless. This applies especially to men, as women find it much more natural to occupy themselves with 'simple activities' like cleaning, cooking or knitting.

Living off the land of Hawaii

  Nowadays we're dependent on big industries and I think that it's a problem. Usually we have to buy food that shops provides us but it's getting less healthy because it's mass grown and polluted by dangerous chemicals. Whereas, if it's organic, it's usually more expensive. This video shows that there're still people who provides food for themselves by hunting or growing it. For some it may seem primitive but I think that it's better for the environment, healthier for us and also cheapier. words: remote place, descendant, self-sufficiency People usually don't live in remote areas. Children aren't self-suffient because they're dependent on their parents. After king's death his descendant inherits the crown. . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJXEepvG6Hc&pbjreload=10

How to recognize Italian Ranaissance?

  To recognize renaissance in general you have to know its features. Firstly, artists started to admire human body for its anatomy and proportion and therefore, focused on naturalism. They also didn't concentrate on frontality but tried to put people in complex poses from many points of view which helped in expressing emotions. It was the first time when background of a painting was so important and the perspective and atmosphere were included (the way of blurring shapes and colours to make it less intense so that it looks like it's far away.). The revival of plants starts in spring. God is meant to have the eternal life. In the Bible a dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YiL9MNyGKE

Johannes Vermeer, Girl with a Pearl Earring

A Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of the most famous paintings in the world. It might be as popular for the same reason as Mona Lisa which is the mysterious look that impresses viewers and the history hidden beneath it. Although this technique is very painstaking and time-consuming, the smoothness of brush strokes makes a unique character to the woman's face which is innocent and simple. The lighting has also a big impact on its atmosphere. It highlights most important elements and draw viewer's eyes. Words: indeterminate, to gaze, painstaking Some paintings have  indeterminate  meaning. You should be  painstaking  to do your job properly. I was  gazing  out of the window while travelling by train. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-jLsoA1i_o
