(as I’m sure you do) that I did in fact have a very strong emotional response to abstract art; of utter loathing. It’s usually just a poxy little shape throw onto to a canvas sprinkled with a few blobs and then thrust under the nose of a (presumably near-blind) gallery owner.

convey the king's power and wealth. The king's compound, a collection of buildings with steeply pitched roofs, appears prominently in the lower register of images. The band of animals encircling the bottom represents crocodiles and the presence of water near the king's home.

A lot of the smaller, more detailed features of the moon look very different when seen through a telescope. The observation went smoothly, and, although I’m not an artist, drawing the visible object, that I had previously selected, was much easier than I was expecting.

I really enjoy these maps because they give a true sense
