Human Behavior

The paradox of human behavior is that we are both emotional and logical beings. These two behaviors are rarely separate. We categorize and classify for logical reasons yet the implementation of this is ususally emotional. Human behavior moves between these two extremes and rarely sticks with one.

Greek Sculpture

Greek art was different from all art previous to it. It was much more realistic but that is not the only difference. Greek sculpture was meant to imply motion, in direct opposition to the staticness o Egyptian and Near Eastern art. Greek sculpture was meant to capture a moment in time usually right before the performance of an action. It was meant to be viewed from multiple angles and would go out in several directions. Greek sculpture brought sculpture out of symbolic works and into almost photographic sculptures.

Catharsis

I'm having a catharsis. My body trembles and my mind quakes. I feel as if I have the power to change my world. I want to shout at the world as an introduction to the new me. Things will never be the same.

My right brain, my left brain

My right brain, my left brain. My right brain is responsible or my intuition, my creativity and social skills. My left brain allows me to act with logic and learn through memorization. My left brain helps me in school much more than my right brain but my right brain makes school worth it. My right brain is what allows me to enjoy my surroundings.

Human nature

Human nature is paradoxical as we are individuals, completely alone, yet we yearn for companionship and friendship. Human nature is complex yet usually simple in its motives. The fact of human nature is to search out another ending the solitary nature of man.

Human Condition

The human condition is exemplified by several paradoxes. One is that we are animals but are unlike any other on the earth. We can change our environment. Because of this we can create great things but are capable of great cruelty.
