how there could be “the” story of Texas, since Texas has been culturally diverse throughout its history as a part of Mexico that became a separate nation and later a state. Shortly Texas will have no one group as a majority. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley, where the great majority of the population, like me, is Mexican American. How was this new museum going to present my story? I had to go and find out. When I first walked into the lobby, I noticed the large mosaic on the floor but I couldn’t
Jamaica’s Troubled Past ‘The Maroons’ Jamaica’s fighting spirit can be seen even in its early days with the Maroons. The fighting spirit is not uncommon with people who are oppressed or forced against their will.

Growing up in the Rio Grande Valley you become aware of all the opportunities that the world has to offer in contrast to the ones occurring here. You hear about all that is going on in such places as New York and California, but it is a novelty to hear anything or anyone being discussed from the Rio Grande Valley, unless it relates to Mexico. Ever since I was a child I had big ambitions, wishing for nothing more than to become successful in this world. As I matured I also developed a more direct
the desert Southwest of what is now the United States and the prairies and plains of central North America. In the Southwest it was also part of a longer route that ran down the Rio Grande into what is now northern Mexico. American Indian peoples used the route to trade the agricultural produce of the Rio Grande Valley and the bounty of the plains, such as jerked buffalo meat and buffalo hides. When the Spanish conquistador Onate came to New Mexico in 1598, he and his soldiers followed this ancient

Our history is like an ocean, there are many things that we don’t know about and that are hard to find about. In this world where we live in many things have happened, like murder, racism and many other things. This thing causes a big impact in our society. But in reality what should really matter to us is our history for each one of us, because from there we know where we come from and what our ancestors did on those old times. It is important to know about other times. It is important to know about
architecture, foods, and festivals. The name Texas is derived from tejas or teyas, the rendering by the Spanish in the mid-16th century of the Caddo people's word for friends or allies. It gradually became used to denote the region north of the Río Grande and east of New Mexico, and was officially applied as Texas when the area was organized as a republic in 1836. Texas was an independent republic until it joined the Union on December 29, 1845, as the 28th state. Its single-star flag dates from its
pay bills, and acquire job experiences. At first it was difficult because I was not aware of jobs, so as I applied I had self-doubt about getting hired. After all many jobs required experience, communication skills, and most commonly in the Rio Grande Valley Spanish. I did not have these important skills on what an employee is looking for. Secondly, I felt as though I did not try hard enough on the application because I had a negative mentality. Eventually, to my surprise six months later I get a call
beaucoup disputés. La voiture était bondée. Nous avons réservé une cabine dans le bateau et c'était très propre parce que le bateau était nouveau.

Nous sommes arrivés à Caen mais ça à duré deux heures pour quitter le bateau parce qu'il faut présenté les passe-ports et les tickets. J'ai dormi dans la voiture après plusieurs heures et quand je me suis levée, il était presque
Napoleon's Defeat The Campaign of 1812 should have been a another crusade for Napoleon, but he now faced 2 new policies that he had never faced before, the severe Russian winter and the notorious scorched-earth policy. On June 23, 1812 Napoleon's Grande Armee, over 500,000 men strong, poured over the Russian border. An equal amount of Russian forces awaited them. The result of the campaign was a surprise. Two authors, General carl von Clausewitz and Brett James, show similarities in reasons why Napoleon
Iconography and Iconology of an Advertisement Looking at the art of the past, we see many images depicting nude women. From Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus to Ingres’s Grande Odelisque, many artists like the idea of painting a woman in the nude in an interesting pose. Even modern images in contemporary magazines depict nude images. Yves Saint Laurent’s advertisement of their fragrance Opium depicts a nude woman covering her breast. Her pose is a symbol of the iconography, while beauty serves

His teachers at Petite École encouraged him to "try for the Grande École des Beaux-Arts". He applied, but was not accepted. Not giving up hope, Rodin applied two more times, but was rejected.

Such is the technique of pointillism, created by nineteenth century artist Georges Seurat, where points of pure color are grouped together to give off the appearance of a solid figure. My absolute favorite of his works is the popular "A Sunday on La Grande Jatte", a large mural depicting a social gathering in a park setting. The artist's dedication to use this technique is truly inspiring and somewhat unbelievable. Nevertheless, this piece of art has inspired me to attain perseverance and work to achieve

used the pointillism approach and the use of color to make his painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte, be as lifelike as possible. Seurat worked two years on this painting, preparing it woth at least twenty drawings and forty color sketched. In these preliminary drawings he analyzed, in detail every color relationship and every aspect of pictorial space.

The Luncheon of the Boating Party by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a piece full of rich colors that reflect both the time period and the artist’s impressionist style. This composition not only conveys a leisurely gathering of people, but also expresses the changing French social structure of the time due to the industrial revolution. To portray these themes Renoir uses, shape, space, color and texture. Shape is seen in the modeled figures and bottles, and space is created by overlapping of the bodies
The Aggie is the optimum school for a student who wants to be placed in a hands on environment that creates equality and acceptance everywhere on campus. Four years ago I transferred from Holbrook High School to the Aggie to start my freshman year in a new, positive environment.
