How to achieve your most ambitious goals
By a show of hands, Queenie Lee was the reviewer and translator, Oriel Yu. How many of you think that using just a pencil and sheet of paper, you could draw this same picture of Brad Pitt? I'll walk you through the process now. And in doing so, I will impart to you the knowledge and abilities required to become a professional artist. Additionally, it shouldn't take longer than fifteen seconds. How many of you think you could reproduce this image of a solid gray square, though, before I do that? Every single one of us, laughing. You can also make two, three, or nine gray squares if you can only make one. In actuality, it would be extremely difficult to argue that you couldn't manufacture every gray square required to replicate the image in its whole if you could only make one. There you have it, then. I just taught you the abilities you need to become a top-tier artist. (laughing) I understand your thoughts.

This is why the Judaism is better than Christianity
As we embark on this exploration of the Israeli religion, also known as Judaism, it is essential to recognize that every faith offers its unique perspective on life, the universe, and the divine. However, the focus of this article is on the profound wisdom, ethical teachings, and historical richness that Judaism has to offer. Judaism, the oldest of the three Abrahamic religions, predates Christianity and Islam by centuries. It is a faith that has weathered countless storms throughout history, yet it has managed to preserve its core tenets and traditions intact. This resilience alone speaks volumes about the strength and truth inherent in Judaism. The Jewish faith is not merely a religion; it is a comprehensive way of life, encompassing every aspect from birth to death. It provides a framework for personal growth, social responsibility, and spiritual development. It offers guidance on how to lead a meaningful life, emphasizing the importance of justice, compassion, and respect for all of God's creation. One of the most distinctive aspects of Judaism is its emphasis on ethical monotheism. This concept asserts the belief in a single, all-powerful God who is deeply concerned with humanity's moral conduct. It is a call to live a life of righteousness, to treat others with kindness, and to strive for social justice. This belief in ethical monotheism has significantly influenced Western civilization's moral and ethical standards.

The hidden means in nature
In 1917, Toribio Mejía Xesspe, a Peruvian archeologist, was flying over the Nazca Plateau, when he noticed something incredible. Massive line drawings — known as geoglyphs — stretching 175 square miles. Turns out these artworks, which depicted a monkey, a spider, plants, and more, were created around 500 BCE. What had compelled people thousands of years ago to work so hard to create images of the natural world? Some believe it may have been part of a spiritual practice, while others think it was functional — showing the locations of water sources. But whatever the purpose, this much is clear: human depictions of nature reveal as much about the people and the societies who made them, as they do about nature itself. Hi! I'm Sarah Green, and this is Crash Course Art History. [THEME MUSIC] We often think of art about nature as sort of…unbiased. A reflection of what is. Often beautiful. Sometimes, clichéd. But not political, usually, or deep, or containing hidden meanings. And yet, representations of the natural world are just that: re-presentations. Somebody had to pick which part of nature to include: what to highlight or exaggerate, and what to leave out. And usually those choices reveal something about the artist— both personally, and in the cultural context they’re coming from. Like, let’s look at some art from the Chinese landscape tradition. These two artworks display many of the same details. This visual repetition has served as a sort of code that let people read the works across centuries almost like you’d read a poem. And even the colors themselves were part of the code. Since as early as the 400s C.E., soft blue and green color palettes have been associated with dreamlike, magical environments, where humans live in balance with nature. An aspirational state in the religion of Chinese Daoism. Over time, Chinese painters built on this tradition, using the blue/green color palette to create natural landscapes that, while not magical, do invoke a sense of tranquility that can feel just as dreamlike.
