One simple doll can change the lives of young girls and parents may not even realize it. Keywords: Barbie, unrealistic features, young girls “I’m a blond bimbo girl, in a fantasy world, dress me up, make it tight.” Those are some of the lyrics of Barbie Girl by Aqua who sung a song about a Barbie doll and how she lives this perfect, materialistic world with her true love Ken. Looking back into my child hood. I was never the little girl who played with Barbie’s or had an obsession with having every addition. In other cases though, many girls are influenced by the doll and can have negative effects in their lives. Parents do not realize the effects that a Barbie doll can have on a little girl. Parents may think they are buying the perfect toy for their child, not knowing the bad effects that come along with Barbie. This plastic doll affects each little girl differently.

...Barbie Assignment I remember having trunks full of Barbies and playing with them when I was a little girl. My Barbies had all different careers and were of different races. My mom even convinced my older cousin to give me her MC Hammer doll. Being of mixed race, my mother wanted me to understand diversity through my dolls. The different skin tones that Barbie had, reflected the diversity I saw in my friends growing up. So for that I think Barbie had a pretty good influence on me. When I five years old, I was rewarded for being good at the doctor’s with a new Barbie. I was so excited because all of my friends had one already. I loved playing with my new found friend, but soon wanted more. After two more successful visits to the doctor’s, Ken and several others helped me to start quite a collection. These dolls were not only toys to me, but an extended family. I spent countless hours with them every day for years. They had a permanent home against my bedroom wall that stretched 5ft long. The monstrous house consisted of four beds, complete with linens and pillows that my mother had made. The kitchen was furnished of dishes, pots, pans, and an array of “food”. The living room had a TV that I made from an old cardboard jewelry box that I drew on and mini magazines. When I was seven, for Christmas my grandma bought me a baby blue Barbie Corvette and it still sits up on a shelf in my parent’s garage. One reason why I want them to keep it is because I think it...

Yellow, orange, green and blue are scattered throughout the painting. Michelangelo focuses on the action of human creatures quite different than Leonardo’s emphasis on perspective such as birds in flight. His art enhances the naturalism and he had a great skill at portraying profound emotions that make this painting striking. The painting is sort of obscure and has many different meanings.

...| Leonardo Da Vinci | Renaissance Man | | Jenny Bevier | 8/20/2010 | | Very few that have ever lived have been acknowledged as a genius. Leonardo Da Vinci was a renaissance man who was a true pioneer of his time. Though he is best known as an artist, he was far more than that. Leonardo was also an engineer, inventor, and scientist. He had one of the best scientific minds of his time. He carried out research in fields ranging from architecture and civil engineering to astronomy, anatomy, geography, geology, and paleontology. Leonardo was a renaissance man whose works of art and studies of mechanics and science paved the way for many artists, engineers, and doctors today. Da Vinci was born in 1452 in the small town of Anchiano, Italy. He was an illegitimate child of a Florentine Notary, Piero Da Vinci, and a peasant woman named Catrina (The World Wide Art Gallery, 2010, para. 2). Until the age of five Leonardo lived in the Hamlet of Anchiano with his mother. From 1457 on he lived with his father, grandparents, and uncle Fracesco in the small town of Vinci, Italy. Da Vinci never received a formal education. However, he was informally taught Latin, geometry, and mathematics by his stepmother Alberia, and her mother in law Monna Lucia. Also, he learned from scholarly textbooks that were owned by various family members. When Leonardo was fifteen, he was apprenticed to the artist Andrea Di Cione, known as Verrocchio. During this time is when Leonardo was...

...the medium or the mode of expression can be, the main thing is the way we can interpret the painting when we see it. In the following document we will be able to describe how two pieces of art “Mona Lisa” a portray by Leonardo Da Vinci and “Mona Loca” a graffiti by Abstrk can be similar in their forms but behind that, there is a vast difference in ideas, techniques and point of view of each artist. Mona Lisa is a masterpiece of the renaissance period characterized to look realistic and to bring the life out of the painting, while Mona Loca represents a contemporary art, a graffiti which displays surreal elements and less humanism in the artwork. The Mona Lisa is probably the most known piece of artwork in the entire world. It was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, who was a famous Italian artist between 1504 and 1519. Da Vinci was a considered a Renaissance artist. He was a great painter, but also an observer, scientist and a great inventor who also studies some medicine and anatomy. This preparation allowed him to draw and paint it more accurately than any other artist of his time. Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece “Mona Lisa” or “La Gioconda” results in a painting that seems to be alive. This quality of being realistic is what makes Mona Lisa to fit into Renaissance artwork. Mona Lisa is figure of a woman, dressed in the fashion of her day and seated in a mountainous landscape.

I believe that Apple’s most immensely colossal success is its ability to leverage its innovation processes to seize new opportunities in the marketplace and grow its business at an incredible pace.

...Brittney Reed Professor Turner AR115 27 September 2014 The Mystery Surrounding Mona Lisa Mona Lisa is one of Leonardo da Vinci’s most poetic and famous pictures he painted. Painted in 1503-1505 with oil on a panel, the meaning of this most recognized painting in the world has left many wondering about the portrait’s meaning and why it has changed over time (Harris & Zucker, 2012). The evolution around the Mona Lisa painting has grown over the centuries after it was completed. This and many other of Leonardo da Vinci’s painting and writing has became ever so popular because of who the artist is and the detail and technique that he used in them. Another reason the it fascinates me and many others is when you are looking into her eyes they seem to follow you where ever you move. This gives an erie feeling that people in the recent decades thrive for in today’s decade. The painting is also very mysteries. Who is Mona Lisa? Who was she posing for? What is the little smirk on her face? As most of the portraits that were see in that era there are no smiling faces, a blank look if you will. Many say that Mona Lisa is the wife of a Florentine merchant and the painting was intended for her husband (Harris & Zucker, 2012). After Leonardo had finished the painting it was never given to the husband and Leonardo decided to keep it for himself as he went to work for the King of France, Francis I and why that is to this day remains a mystery (Harris & Zucker, 2012).

...AUTOBIOGRAPHY Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci Born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, Leonardo da Vinci was the epitome of a “Renaissance man.” Possessor of a curious mind and keen intellect, da Vinci studied the laws of science and nature, which greatly informed his work as a painter, sculptor, architect, inventor, military engineer and draftsman. His ideas and body of work—which includes "Virgin of the Rocks," "The Last Supper" and "Mona Lisa"—have influenced countless artists and made da Vinci a leading light of the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo was, and is, renowned primarily as a painter. Among his works, the Mona Lisa is the most famous and most parodied portrait and The Last Supper the most reproduced religious painting of all time, with their fame approached only by Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Leonardo died at Clos Lucé, France, on May 2, 1519. François I had become a close friend. Vasari records that the King held Leonardo's head in his arms as he died, although this story, beloved by the French and portrayed in romantic paintings by Ingres, Ménageot and other French artists, may be legend rather than fact. Da Vinci has been called a genius and the archetypal Renaissance man. His talents inarguably extended far beyond his artistic works. Like many leaders of Renaissance humanism, he did not see a divide between science and art. STYLE OF PAINTING da Vinci’s Painting Technique Throughout his years (1452-1519), Leonardo da Vinci employed a variety of techniques...

...The Simpsons: Miserable but still trying… Homer: Kids you tried your best, and you failed miserably. The lesson is never try. (“Burns Heir” – Season 5, Episode 18)1 Carl’s Matheson’s essay “The Simpsons, Hyper-Irony, and the meaning of life” is a critical analysis of the animated family comedy show The Simpsons. The essay delves into how the show is failing miserably on humoring its viewers and the idea of promoting positive social purpose is not really what it seems after all. According to Matheson, as the show infuses its episodes with heavily induce quotations as a way to humor its viewers. In the process, the show ceases to be funny at all. From these observations, Matheson points out that while the show employs a great deal of quotations and hyper-irony as a form of comedy, it also detaches itself from its viewers in the process. Therefore, losing its audience shared sense of humor as well as the audience itself in the end. The shows critics’ reviews of the early episodes praise the show for its wit, realism, and intelligence. However, in the late 1990s, the tone and emphasis of the show began to change. Some critics started calling the show "tired”. By 2000, some long-term fans had become disillusioned with the show, and pointed to its shift from character-driven plots to what they perceived 1 http://www.buzzfeed.com/louispeitzman/the-100-best-classic-simpsons-quotes#.woxOwzdRev 1 as an overemphasis on zany antics.2 Fast forward to Season 26, the...

Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man of "unquenchable curiosity" and "feverishly inventive imagination". He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived. 500 years ago he set out to try and find out all that there was to learn. “I would do things no one in the past has dared to do, I would think new thoughts, bring new things into being”. He created works of astonishing beauty such including the Mon Elisa, the most famous painting in the world and The Last Supper made him known today as the Renaissance visionary who saw the modern world before it was realized. At the same time he designed terrifying machines, which spewed death and destruction. He designed ways of getting man to the bottom of the sea, He invented flying machines 400 years before man took to the skies.

...Michelangelo was one of the most inspiring artists history has ever seen. He possessed many extraordinary characteristics that made him into the imagine he is today. He was a perfectionist and hard-working. He communicated in his art and created things that no one else had created before. Most of all, he put his heart in everything he did. The Sistine Chapel, probably rated the most beautiful chapel, not only in Europe but also in the whole world, was painted by Michelangelo at the beginning of the 16th century. Michelangelo took four years of non-stop working to complete it. During those four years, Michelangelo started having serious health issues. He started having bad eyesight and his neck started having some issues from his awkward standing position. These health issues forced him to change body positions while painting and ended up lying down while painting. Despite these problems, he continued painting and two years after, the Pope attempted to convince Michelangelo to rush the final part and be done with it a year or two early. Michelangelo plainly rejected the idea and took his time. His product was magical. During his long, long life, Michelangelo suffered from many health problems including becoming slightly blind and having long term damage to his kidneys. Despite these, he kept on working with little rest. While he was painting the Sistine chapel, he went partly blind and started getting awful headaches from the position he was standing there Nevertheless, he...
