Passions

The Vesperbild and the Pieta are funeral monument pieces conveying the emotions of pity, passion, and pain. Christ and the Virgin Mary effectively capture and translate those emotions from the artists’ imagination. Each sculpture successfully depicts the death of Christ, which Mary holds upon her lap in vein with high details as well. Most importantly, both sculptors found it fit to extend a particular style which they made their own when sculpting. Beyond the Vesperbild and the Pieta both…

As a child it was instilled in me by my parents that I would always have my education no matter what it took. It has been true to this day. I have been forever grateful for the opportunities that I have had as a child to young adult because of them. Although they have helped me tremendously, it would be nothing to them if I hadn’t put in the hard work and dedication that it takes in order to want to learn, excel and grow.

The little boys seemed to leer gloatingly at the blood upon the other…

The painting that I chose from the gallery was The Penitent Magdalene, created by Flemish artist Abraham Janssens around the year 1620. I really liked this painting and was drawn towards it because the woman represented in it looks very sorrowful, upset, and perhaps even a little lonely, tear mark clearly visible by her eyes. Despite this, she looks like she is contemplating something important and troubling to her. Perhaps it could be an event in her life that has gone wrong? Her arm is resting…

I was fortunate enough to shoot in tournaments around the country for four years, not only winning in my state of Texas but other states too. Shooting for my school drove me towards the sport of Bowhunting, and by doing this I found my passion. Through my passion for archery and bowhunting, I would make a business where I could design and manufacture compound bows for both tournament use and hunting. I believe that this business would be a good idea because bow companies and manufacturers today,…

The extract first begins with Spinoza saying that slavery is when we do not have power over our moderation of passions, and that passions are controlled by some external cause.
