This is a group of artists who are credited with documenting the ordinary life on a human level in New York City during this incredible time of
The beginning of the twentieth century beheld the rise of new art forms and styles in North America that reflected the transformation of society and the creation of new ideas.

Grant Wood I recently took a trip to the Jocelyn Art Museum. There they had many great painting in the permanent art collection.

Papiamento is not a dialect but a language that is evidence to the many influences of older languages and Aruba’s culture and traditions. It has traces of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, French and local Indian languages. It is a language that began in Curacao in the 1500’s in an attempt to help slave owners communicate with their slaves. It’s a comparatively easy language to learn with a limited vocabulary and a spicy rhythm that makes

The decade of the Fifties gave birth to Rock and Roll. When Bill Haley's Rock Around The Clock became popular in 1952, the nation learned to swing to a whole new sound. But, Rock wasn't the only music of the Fifties. (Rewind the fifties jukebox) Other artists with other songs had folks humming' for much of the decade.

As a fourteen-year-old, I have yet to fully experience
Construct validity of Meyer and Allen’s Three Component Model Pages 2 Researchers have studied the construct validity of Meyer and Allen’s (1991) three-component model of commitment along with its measures and found a strong support for the scale. Allen and Meyer (1996) reviewed the model with a revised scale by review of 40 sample and found the same validity.
