La Grande Jatte
1990 Two paintings, Peasant Dance by P. Brueghel, and Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by George Seurat. Analyze what the differences in leisure activities shown in the two paintings reflect about the social life of peasants in the sixteenth century and of urban dwellers in the nineteenth century.Drastically diverse, the leisure activities and social life of the peasants during the Renaissance and the nineteenth century urban dwellers in Europe were depicted extremely differently. The leisurely Renaissance activities separated the social status of peasants from the nobles for the interests and hobbies were disapproved by the higher classes. The period of Impressionism in France attracted many urban dwellers who were contrastingly of wealth and portrayed etiquette and a pleasant society.
I. Leisurely Renaissance activities separated the social status of peasants for the quality and content was disapproved by the higher classes
- A. Leisure Activities of the Peasants
- Games were held in town squares (i.e. cockfights)
- Listening to music played by other peasants was extremely popular as well
- Drinking in taverns was well liked and many peasants took part in this activity
- Many peasants acted in plays in the theater
- Often sat down toward the bottom on the stage and acted very dirty, slum-like and savaged
- Activities very diverse from those of the middle class who acted more proper with more etiquette
- B. Peasant Social Life
- Peasants were at the bottom of the social ladder and were somewhat a small community
- Separated from areas of wealth and did not contact the higher classes often
- Peasants worked the land and often farmed for themselves and the higher classes
- C. Contrasting Middle and Noble Class Life
- Wealthy were more contained and private than the peasants
- Were more proper
- Lived in different sanitary conditions
- Enjoyed attending balls and grand parties
- D. Evidence from Peasant Dance
- Peasants are shown enjoying life and not having any worries
- They all get along and enjoy everyday activities
- Displays that peasants enjoyed music, dancing, games and drinking in taverns
- Shows crowded conditions in the villages where peasants dwelled
II. Urban Dwellers display a class of etiquette and contrasts behavior of peasants in the Renaissance
- A. Impressionism was used to emphasize light and life
- Evidence from La Grande Jatte shows the color and mood of the time period is more relaxed and serene
- Impressionism was also used to portray realistic situations with vibrant color and light
- B. Urban Life
- Cities consisted of higher classes and wealthy landowning peasants
- Different activities and recreational activities were prevalent
- Communities appreciated nature more and paid attention to the world around them
- Different classes of people often mingled and were in strong contact with each other
- Serenity and peace was established between the separate classes in the cities
- C. Evidence from La Grande Jatte
- More privacy was abundant in public areas
- A natural way of life and environment shows calmness
- No controversy is evident and everyone seems to be getting along
- Light used hints a positive society

1996 Compare and contrast the patronage of the arts by Italian Renaissance rulers with that of dictators of the 1930's.
Art was supported by rulers from both the time period of the Renaissance in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries as well as the 1930's by various dictators. Italian Renaissance rulers focused on individualistic purposes for their support of art including their own private collections. Dictators of the 1930's used art to reach out to the masses and gain much needed public support for themselves, and public hatred toward their enemies by the use of art propoganda. However, despite the different uses for art, these rulers allowed art during their eras to progress and flourish.
Italian Renaissance's Patronage of the Arts
Many rulers supported artists for their work in religious related art.
Portraits were also done mainly in Northern Italian Renaissance art.
Portraits often were done of the man in the family, however the entire family was sometimes painted or the head of the household's spouse.
With education, men and women began to appreciate the secular world and secular learning which led them to investments in the art, which they admired.
The Medici family in Italy was one of the main rulers that involved themselves with the patronage of the arts.
During the spread of the Black Plague, rulers also supported art since it depicted the horrors of the time period.
Overall, mainly involved spiritual themes for the salvation of the supporters while it showed their support for the church by investments in portrayals of Jesus and other leaders.
Medici directly financed famous painters such as Leonardo da Vinci and allowed them to reach their full potential by paying for their works of art.
The pope played a large role in the patronage of the arts and invested in works displaying important figures such as Jesus and his disciples.
Art was not used to gain support of any kind politically.
Paintings were also used for private collections of the nobility whose funding allowed the painters to be able to paint or sculpt as a profession.
The artwork was mainly used for individual purposes and not for the majority of the population to see.
1930's Dictator's Patronage of the Arts
Hitler used art to show what Europe would become showing perfect German soldiers.
Hitler also used artwork of landscapes to show Lebensraum, or the potential German living space after the war was over and won for the Germans.
Artwork ranging from Aryan military men to paintings of naked women all attracted the attention of the masses.
Stalin used artwork to ridicule his opponents during his fight for communism in Russia at the time.
Artwork of the 1930's was mainly used to be presented to mass populations in order to be used to gain support for their parties of themselves.
Used to spread hateful ideas and prejudices against certain ethnic groups or religious groups such as the Jews.
In newspapers, caricatures were used to pass ideas of leaders or groups across the masses.
Art was also used to show the great leadership of a ruler and to gain as much support as possible whether it be a fascist leader or a communist leader.
Portraits of the leaders were done to improve their public image.
The main themes of the art was more secular and was not very spiritual.

1997 Discuss some of the ways in which Romantic artists, musicians, and writers responded to political and socioeconomic conditions in the period from 1800 to 1850. Document your response with specific examples from discussions of at least two of the three disciplines: visual arts, music and literature.From 1800 to 1850, the Romantic movement was universal insofar as it was prevelant in all forms of art, music, and literature. Since romanticism was intertwined with high emotion and value of nature, the romantics were able to vividly portray the political and socioeconomic conditions present in the environment around them in their works. The ideals of liberalism were shown in the works of many of the romantic writers, who also showed a critique of their modern society. Also, these large amounts of emotion, which were created by intense and widespreaad nationalism in Europe, can be easliy seen through romatic art and music.
I. Ideals of Liberalism Shown in the Works of Many Romantic Writers, as well as Criticism of Society
· Principal ideas of liberalism are liberty, equality, freedom, etc.
· Liberalism was becoming increasingly intensified after 1815, which marked the end of Napoleon's dictatorial rule, allowing these ideas to flow
· Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, wrote famous Gotz von Berlichingen
· Play about a sixteenth-century who revolted against centralized authority and championed individual freedom
· These can be viewed as very nationalistic tendencies
· Walter Scott, born in Scotland, extremely influenced by Goethe's work, therefore must have held these nationalistic views in his works as well
· Victor Hugo, famous works include the Hunchback of Notre Dame
· Hugo exemplified romantic fascination with human emotions, equated freedom and liberty in literature with freedom and liberty in politics and society
· George Sand, wrote novel Leila, delved deeply into tortuous quest for freedom
· Lord Byron, rejected old traditions and championed cause of personal liberty in works such as Don Juan and Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
· William Blake, the better on got to know the world, the more the life of the imagination and its spiritual values began to recede
· Saw this problem as evidence of the materialism and injustice of English society (criticized society)
· Friedrich Schlegel also criticized society in novel Lucinde, attacked contemporary prejudices against women as capable of being little more than lovers and domestics
II. Intense and Widespread Nationalism in Europe Produces Vast Amounts of Emotion that Can be Easily Seen Through Romantic Art and Music
· Nationalism was based on cultural unity under a common language, history, and territory
· Nationalism was particularly strong between 1800-1850, what with the Napoleonic era in France, and the drive for independence in places such as Greece and Ireland
· Eugene Delacroix, master of dramatic and colorful scenes that stirred emotions
· Passionate spokesman for freedom, masterpiece Liberty Leading the People, celebrated nationalistic nobility of popular revolution in general, and that of France in particular
· Joseph M. W. Turner painted nature's power and terror, in reference to nationalism this means he may have wanted a more violent and quicker approach in other countries, because he was English
· John Constable also painted nature, but painted it gently, suggesting he wanted a more passive approach to nationalism
· Musicians gave symphonies a new wide range of forms that created powerful emotions, plumbed depths of human feelings
· Franz Liszt, one of the most famous pianists of his time, became a cultural hero
· Ludwig von Beethoven, used contrasting themes and tones to produce dramatic conflict and inspiring resolutions, much like nationalism
Scott Dunaisky
2002 Describe and analyze the differences in the ways in which artists and writers portrayed the individual during the Italian Renaissance and the Romantic era of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.During the course of European history, there were many movements which revolutionized societal norms and expectations, artistic values, and works of literature. Two major movements include the Age of Romanticism, and the Italian Renaissance. The Italian Renaissance portrayal of the individual was very different than that of the Romantic portrayal of the individual.
I. Italian Renaissance Portrayal of the Individual
- The Italian Renaissance saw several movements in art, literature, and intellectualism. Glorification of humans and the individual were shown in these movements and more as well.
- Humanism, in particular captured this very spirit. Humanism was an Italian Renaissance movement in which people turned to secular values instead of Christian ones, and put emphasis on the power of the individual and the worth and dignity of humankind.
- Humanists believed in studying to better oneself. They advocated the study of Latin and Greek classics and of the ancient church fathers in a hope to bring back the ancient norms and values to modern society.
- Humanists were also advocates of "studia humanitatis," which was a liberal arts program that put emphasis on the study of grammar, rhetoric, poetry history, and politics.
- Francesco Petrarch is considered the "father of humanism." Many of his works put emphasis on the ancient Romans such as his Letters to the Ancient Dead, Africa, and Lives of Illustrious Men.
- Other Humanist goals included the bettering of the individual (oneself). For example, they wanted to speak eloquently, be able to identify what is "good," and to practice virtue. (Civic Humanism)
- Renaissance art played a great role in humanism as well. Medieval art was abstract, formulaic, and was Church dominated. Humanity and nature were the interests of Renaissance artists. The communication of human emotions was a new key element in Renaissance art.
- These changes in art and literature came about as a result of men and women glorifying a secular world, secular learning, and the rise of national sentiment by competent state bureaucracies staffed by the laity, and not clerics.
- One work of art in particular embodied the spirit of the Renaissance. The School of Athens by Raphael shows a gathering of scholars in an ancient Greek setting in which Plato and Aristotle sit in the center.
II. Romantic Portrayal of the Individual
- Artists and writers of the Romantic Era emerged during the period of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars. In the Romantic Era, emphasis was put on nature, dreams, folklore, folk songs, fairy tales, hallucinations, sleepwalking, and medieval literature, art, and especially architecture.
- The Romantic Movement, in effect, was a resistance movement against the narrow minded, scientific rationale of the Enlightenment.
- As in the Italian Renaissance, the romantics too, were very individualistic, and they believed the full development of one's unique human potential to be the supreme purpose in life
- Romanticism, however, was a revolt against the scientific rationalization of nature. They were, more than anything else, infatuated with the power and awesomeness of nature.
- As a result, Romantic Art went a long way from embodying the spirit of the Enlightenment and intellectualism. Instead, Romantic art was centered on mysticism, dream, and the supernatural.
- In Romantic art, the individual is often portrayed as an insignificant being, compared to the might of the natural and the supernatural. Although they are portrayed to be very small, Romantic art still is very individualistic. The individuals portrayed in Romantic art are portrayed to be very inquiring, deep in thought, or maybe even possessed by their environment.
- Just like in Italian Renaissance art, there is emphasis on the individual, and the emotions of the individual are communicated well. However, As supposed to Italian Renaissance art, where scholarly attitudes, secular values, and supreme glorification of the individual were emphasized, Romantic art went against this very rationale and put emphasis on religion, natural and supernatural phenomena, and portrayal of the individual as an insignificant being in the greater scheme of things
Brian Kim
2003 Compare and contrast the relationship between artists and society in the Baroque era and in the twentieth century. Illustrate your essay with references to at least TWO examples from each period.
Throughout history, art has been used to express the values society imposes upon its' people. Thus, art will take different shape, form and theme throughout various periods in history. The effect of religion upon the art and its' painter will profoundly differ depending upon the age, such as the profound influence of Christianity upon Baroque and the lack of religion within 20th century art. Another significant variation between ages in art is the way in which they interpret society, for the Baroque period glorified society's actions while Modern Art condemned them. Finally, Baroque and Modern Art converge in the fact that both were available to a majority of the public.
Effect of Religion on the Art and Painter
- The Baroque period was initiated by the Catholic Church in an attempt to re-convert previous members of the Catholic Church during the Counter-Revolution in the 1700s
- The art was focused around the theme of grandiose and beautiful works exemplifying the beauty of the Catholic Church
- This new period in art attracted a great amount of old and new members to the Catholic Church, renewing the popularity of the Catholic Church.
- Nativity by Josefa de Obidos is a famous example of the profound use of religion through the Baroque period
- Modern Art is distinct from the various other art periods due to its starking absence of religious themes.
- However, this effect is not so strange due to the lack of religion within today's modern society.
- In fact, it can be said that today's society devalues religious as a major factor in people's lives and is thus reflected within the art.
- Also, religion has been noted as hostile towards Modem Art and its' effect on the people, therefore there is little reason for Modern Art painters to reflect religious themes in their work.
- A painting that reflects this is Van Gogh's "Starry Night".
Interpretations of Society
- Pablo Picasso's Guernica criticized the mass destruction reaped by the German blitzkrieg during the Spanish Civil War
- Modern Art was created to exemplifies the true acts of society, whether it be just or corrupt
- Modern Art was originally created to immerse the public in political and social debates
-Thus, all topics were meant to be controversial as opposed to the glorification of society
- This is also evident within Jackson Pollock's many works.
- Baroque style was the reciprocal, its' main ideal being to enlighten and praise society.
- The Catholic Church employed it to attract citizens and exemplify the better aspect of the Catholic Church
- However, Baroque didn't focus solely on religion, it also exemplified grandiose towns and people, awakening a sense of pride within the people for their society
- This is exemplified in Samson and Delilah by Anthony Van Dyck
Availability of Art to the Public
- Throughout the early era of art, only the rich were afforded the oppurtunity to appreciate art.
- However, when the Catholic Church created the Baroque style, they opened it up to the public so as to influence a greater majority of the people.
- This began the popularization and greater recognition of art everywhere.
- However, Baroque painters were still distinctly the rich, for only they could afford the tools and the time necessary to create art.
- When Modern Art was created, all were able to access it, for no longer did it represent elegance but rather opinions of the individuals.
- This created a much greater fan base and popularization of art around the world
- Also; this allowed almost all of the public to view art, for no longer were art prices so high as to exclude some of the population.
-This is represented through the work of Salvador Dali, who began as a poor man but was able to amass riches through the arts.

2004 Contrast the ways in which the paintings shown express the artistic and intellectual concerns of the eras in which the works were created.
During the late 14th century into the beginning of the 16th century the Renaissance peaked in Europe; during this great revival of Greco-Roman culture and the exiting of what was known as the Dark Ages due to the lack of culture that now was being experienced in art like the School of Athens above, by Raphael, but through the literature and intellectual movement of the time known as Humanism.
Matthew Williamson
Fast forward in history, to just after World War One. This Age of Anxiety birthed a major shift in the traditional boundaries and conceptions of art. Art came to be symbolistic and abstract as artists yearned to comprehend the tragedy and destruction that was passing or had just passed before their eyes. This is reflected above in Picasso's masterpiece Les Demoiselles D'Avignon. As such, movements including cubism, dadaism, and surrealism arose.
Arielle Koppell
Renaissance Art
- Art fully matured in the High Renaissance period of the late 15th century and early 16th century
- Differing from the Medieval art, Renaissance art become more about communicating human emotion and observation of the natural and secular world
- Gave art new order, making things proportional and symmetrical to make it more real
- New types of art work due to technological improvements that occurred in the 15th century like the invention of oil paints
- Also two old techniques had finally been perfected that of "chiaroscuro" and linear perspective:
- Chiaroscuro- using shading to enhance and perfect that naturalness of the art showing multiple shades and hues of colors as well as making art more life like
- Linear Perspective- usually just referred to as perspective, adjusting the size of figures to give a feeling of continuity
- These styles both helped to rationalize art work of the day with better space and paint to follow what things really seem like
- Seemed much more 3 dimensional as well as having more energy and color that would stand out more than gothic or medieval art
- True artistic ability of the High Renaissance reached its height with Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo:
- Da Vinci studied many different things, not just that of art but through his studies of man and the anatomy he was able to bring it back to his art through muscle structure, showed in the Vitruvian Man, and facial features, distinctly profound in the Mona Lisa
- Raphael died a premature death at 37 with a career shortened but in this time he was still able to show his sensitivity in his art work with human emotion but also make one of the greatest art pieces of his time, the School of Athens, where he shows off the old Greek philosophers of his time in this realm with Aristotle and Plato in it
- Michelangelo being one of the greatest artists of his time worked under commission of 4 different popes, creating the Sistine Chapel, the great sculpture of David, as well as perfectly exemplifying the arts of the Renaissance in perfectly showing off harmony, symmetry, proportions, shading, perspective, and as well as the idea of the Greco Roman artists glorifying the human body (usually always male body)
- Michelangelo also made an art style known as Mannerism, or which followed the art work of the High Renaissance but allowed the artists to put there own spin on the work
- Humanism can be looked upon in many ways but can be best explained as the championing of secularism and individualism as well as the educational program concentrated on scholarship and rhetoric
- But in all Humanism is best known as and most simply put, an intellectual movement in the idea to study Latin and Greek classics as well as church pieces in a hope to leave the stagnant dark ages and hope for return to the ancient norms and progression of the past
- Studia Humanitaits- a liberal program advocated by the humanist to increase education, mainly in grammar, poetry, history, politics, and philosophy
- Humanists were first orators and poets who wrote books in vernacular, nations language or romantic languages after Latin, but also could be in he fields of a secretary, speech writer, and a diplomat
- Petrarch- ""Father of Humanism", used elitism and textual studies to show classics and church can co-exist
- Wrote many love letters to a women named Laura as his most well known literature but was much more secular than many other writers
- Dante- Most famous for writing the Divine Comedy, sonnets that show him traveling through the after world going through the rings of hell all the way to the heavens
- Boccaccio-Wrote Decameron, 100 short tales about a group of men and women running away from the plague
- Pietro Paolo Vergerio- wrote On the Morals That Befit a Free Man which was a tract for education
- Castiglione- Wrote the Book of Courtier or novel or a novel to show how to be a perfect Renaissance man through showing off your character in athletics, military, musical skills as well as in your manners and in good character
- Christine de Pisan- wrote city of ladies which was basically a pre-mature version of a feminist who chronicled all the great female accomplishments
- Lorenzo Valla- wrote Donation of Constantine which proved the that the church's teachings of the bible and the written work on him were done in different centuries by the way they wrote but not fully used until the protestants use this idea to show corruption and impurity in the church teachings
- But the Renaissance also expanded into the North with those like Erasmus or Thomas More which followed a slightly more religious standpoint instead of the secular point of the Italians
- Erasmus-"Prince of Humanists", loved his religion but wanted slight reform from its practices which he wrote in many of his Adages or 5000 of his different works which he popularized many different quotes like "to leave no stone unturned"
- Thomas More- Good friend of Erasmus who wrote Utopia, which showed off a perfect world and society who showed all society's goods and property in common and all gained by proportion on how you worked
III: New Movements of Art
-There were many influences that affected art post-world war one including: 1) the confusion about the war's terrible destruction 2) depression at the suffering and stagnating economy 3) Freudian influences on art and literature
-The mass destruction of the war caused many Europeans to doubt ideals of progress established pre-war, as they spawned such devastation, leading to a lack of confidence and identity crisis in Europe. Moreover, a further manifestation of this theme of uncertainty was present in exploring the unconscious. Though previously, little had been thought of the search for it, it became popular in this period (the 1920s).
-Furthermore, deepening problems of the depression provided people little faith in governments and with little idea of where to turn to, the search for the unconscious, of the answers within, grew more popular.
-This period was very influential and amazing, various works of art emerged from this shift.
A. Dadaism
-Dadaism peaked from 1916 to 1922 and concentrated on anti-war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art and anti-art cultural work. Dada is considered the groundwork to abstract art a prelude to postmodernism, and the foundation of surrealism.
-For many participants, the movement was a protest against the bourgeois values, nationalist, and colonialist interests which Dadaists believed were the root cause of the war. It was against the cultural and intellectual conformity displayed through art and society that corresponded to the war.
-Many Dadaists rejected the reason and excessive logic of bourgeois capitalist society to embrace chaos and irrationality. It was called "anti-art" as it ignored traditional aesthetics and intended to offend viewers through destruction of a traditional culture.
-Some inventions of Dadaism included the collage (aspects of life portrayed rather than represented objects viewed as still-life), the photomontage (developed by George Grosz and John Heartfield to express views of modern life through images presented by the media), the assemblage (three-dimensional variations of the collage to produce meaningful or meaningless (relative to the war) pieces of work), and the readymades (manufactured objects viewed as art, ie: Marcel Duchamp's signed urinal).
-These were championed in order to reject traditional modes of artistic creation such as painting and sculpture as well as to present a medium for group collaboration, spontaneity, and chance. Also, conceptual art is rooted here: Duchamp first asserted the concept that the intellectual expression of the artist is of higher value than the object created.
-This movement was unstable and melded into surrealism (through the shared preoccupation with the bizarre, irrational, and fantastic) by 1924 and artists began approaching other movements.
B. Surrealism
-Surrealism was fathered by Andre Breton, a French poet and writer who published the surrealist guidelines, called Manifesto, in Paris of 1924.
-Breton was influenced by Freud's psychoanalytical methods and an anti-socialist attitude.
-It is an emphasis on the unconscious, importance of dreams, and psychological aspect of the arts and employs the psychic unconscious in a systematic and solemn manner.
-Important champions of the art include Salvador Dali, the Italian Giorgio de Chirico (strange and eerie town views), Marcel Duchamp, Max Ernst, Joan Miro, Yves Tanguy, Rene Magritte, and Russian Marc Chagall.
-This art did not have to be visually pleasing and aimed to give a different perspective on ideas. For example, Dali transcribed dreams in his The Persistence of Memory and Pierre Loeb made a month-long still life of an apple.
-Surrealism advocated that ordinary and depictive expressions were important if their arrangement was open to a full range of imagination. Marxist dialectic was looked to for these theories.
-Freud was a heavy influence on this movement: his work with free association, dream analysis, and the hidden unconscious was important in developing methods to liberate imagination.
-Some surrealists associated with communism and anarchism while aiming to preserve the social revolution and revolutionize human experience by freeing people of false rationality and restrictive customs and structures.
C. Cubism
-Cubism was initiated by Spaniard Pablo Picasso and Frenchman Georges Braques and limited to paintings and sculptures.
-Was influenced by African tribal art and geometrical forms and fragmentations.
-Picasso's above painting Les Demoiselles D'Avignon portrays five nude prostitutes that lack femininity and are rendered with angular and disjointed body shapes.
-Two of the women wear African mask-like faces, providing for a savage and mysterious aura. Picasso also abandons perspective in favor of a flat, two-dimensional plane.
-This was a radical departure from traditional European paintings and considered the antecedent of Cubism despite its departure from the spirit of Cubism. (It has a disruptive, expressionist element, contrary to being detached and realistic.)
-Cubism: objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in abstracted form in order to give a multitude of viewpoints of the object to represent the subject in greater context. The sense of depth is eliminated and the background and object planes merge to create a shallow, ambiguous space.
-Artists of the movement including Picasso, Gaugin, and Matisse were inspired by the simplicity of styles of foreign cultures.
-It is described as a radical attempt to stamp out ambiguity and enforce one complete interpretation of art.
-Analytical Cubism- reduces natural forms into basic geometric parts on the two-dimensional picture plane, color is nearly non-existent while forms like the cylinder, sphere, and cone are embellished.
-Synthetic Cubism- pushes objects together with few planar shifts and little shading, creating flatter space. Also, new subject matter of dada is introduced (Picasso uses text in artwork, mixed media used, different textures and surfaces, including collage elements are implemented.)
-Later artists of the movement are Robert Delauney, Marcel Duchamp, Juan Gris, and Lyonel Feininger, and they help pave the way for abstract art.

2007 Referring to specific individuals or works, discuss the ways in which TWO of the following expressed the concept of nationalism in the nineteenth century.
WritersNumerous European countries underwent a rise in nationalistic sentiment in the 19th century in response to the Napoleonic era. While this nationalism was evident in various countries' foreign policies, it was also greatly expressed in both art and literature. Russian literature was strongly influenced by the rapidly increasing nationalism and search for a unique identity, as was the development of the romantic movement in Germany, which encompassed both works of literature and art.
Russian Literature Expressing Nationalism and Exploring Russian Identity
- Napoleon's 1812 invasion to fueled a nationwide explosion of art in the search of nationalism. Literature in particular was highly popular.
- Russian literary works of that time involved defining Russian identity and culture
- These novels / plays / poems often explored Peter the Great's attempts to Westernize Russia and often assessed whether this developed or destroyed Russian culture. Following the French Revolution, many Russians concluded that the West was no longer a model worth imitating, and advocated Russian uniqueness instead.
- In Peter Chaadayev's First Philosophical Letter, he argued that Russia's location between the West and East created a nation that contributed nothing to the world à this led to an increase in the search for Russian nationalism, often expressed in the form of art and literature
- Nationalism was also greatly influenced by the role of peasants in Russian society and Russian expansionism.
- Alexander Pushkin --> expressed Russian national identity in his famous works, his poem "The Bronze Horseman" questioned both Russian identity and the rule of Peter the Great. Inspired future writers to create and search for their own versions of Russian nationalism.
- Michail Lermontov wrote about Russian expansionism in his novel A Hero of Our Time
- Ivan Turgenev --> wrote A Hunter's Sketches causing sensation due to its portrayal of Russian serfs.
- Leo Tolstoy --> wrote War and Peace, which explored the war raged against Napoleon, and Ana Karenina, which involved societal issues of the time
- Dostoevsky's writings included, The Possessed (1871 - 1872) and The Brothers Karamazov (1880), and both of which described the revolutionary movements in Russia and their impact.
The Romantic Nationalist Movement in Germany, wherein numerous works of art and literature were created
- German romantics created their art while keeping in mind their desire for their nation's unification
- Usually expressed their anti-French / anti-Napoleon imperialism and overall resentment of the French Revolution
- Johann Herder
- revived German folk culture by urging the preservation of distinctive German songs and sayings
- opposed the concept and use of a "common" language, and "universal" institutions such as those imposed upon Europe by Napoleon
- George Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
- termed the anti-thesis
- his philosophies lead to the conclusion that all cultures are valuable because each contributes to the necessary clash of values and ideas that allows humankind to develop
- discussed his philosophies in works such as The Phenomology of the Mind, Lecures on the Philosophy of History, and various others
- Caspar David Friedrich
- he was an anti-French nationalist
- often used motifs in his artwork to celebrate German culture and customs
- his painting, Old Heroes' Graves, created a feeling of nationalism with his depiction of the German leader
- Carl Spitzweg painted The Bookworm, which captured the conservatism in Europe following the Napoleonic wars and around the time of the revolutions of 1848
Stephanie Huynh
2007 Using the two Dutch paintings below and your historical knowledge of the period, discuss how the paintings reflect the economy and culture of the Netherlands in the seventeenth century.
Aelbert Cuyp, The Maas River at Dordrecht, c. 1650
Johannes Vermeer, Young Woman with a Water Pitcher, c. 1665During the 17th Century, art had a big role in reflecting Dutch economy and culture. Paintings by Dutch artists showed economic systems with the use of ships and trading, while other paintings showed women and traditional dress and customs.

-The Netherlands provided a connection for the raw material transfers from the Baltic region to the rest of Europe
-Amsterdam, the capital of The Netherlands, became the center of commerce in Northern Europe
-Amsterdam had actually replaced the Spanish city of Antwerp as the center of commerce
-Dutch dominance also came from technological advances, like the development of less expensive, yet efficient cargo ships
-The Bank of Amsterdam was founded in the early part of the 17th century
-The bank issued its own currency and increased the amount of available capital
-Amsterdam became the banking center of Europe
-In 1602, the Dutch East India Company was established
-The large capitalization behind the company allowed for the purchasing of more trading ships and warehouses
-The Dutch were very good businessmen
-For example, when the prices of certain spices decreased, they turned to selling other expensive things such as teas, coffees, and fabrics
-Women worked in homes doing domestic chores like cooking and cleaning and taking care of the children
-It was the norm for women to stay home and not work outside of the house
-There was a high standard of living in The Netherlands because of the amazing economy
-Economic wealth brought about a lot of money for families to buy expensive clothes and foods
-Most of The Dutch enjoyed the finer things if life because families were wealthy and successful with the husbands involved with commerce and trading in such a successful economy
-Wealth was more equally distributed in The Netherlands than in any other place in Europe
-Culturally, the 17th century was a golden age as well
-There were many Dutch artists at this time
-They reflected in their paintings that the majority of the population was Calvinist
-There was also the Baroque style of painting in The Netherlands which came in through Flanders, a Catholic city
-Dutch artists painted for private collectors
-It was common for Dutch artists to paint many pictures of landscapes
-A lot of artwork was very expensive
-A very gifted Dutch painter, Jan Vermeer, painted carefully composed scenes of everyday life of The Dutch

-The invention of the printing press in the mid fifteenth century allowed for heavy communication in the 17th century
-The Dutch stood out because of its tolerant attitude towards religious minorities, such as the Jews

Rajya Sabha TV (RSTV) is an Indian cable television network channel owned and operated by Rajya Sabha that covers the proceedings of Rajya Sabha (the Upper House of the Parliament of India).[1] Apart from telecasting live coverage of Rajya Sabha proceedings, RSTV also brings incisive analysis of parliamentary affairs. While focusing on current national and international affairs, it provides a platform for knowledge-based programmes for the discerning viewer. The channel offers special attention to legislative business undertaken by the Parliament.
Conscious of its role as a public broadcaster, RSTV has conceptualised programmes on the basis of the vibrant relationship between Parliament and the people of India. It aims at providing an objective perspective on national and international affairs to the people. RSTV touches upon all the aspects of political, economic, social and cultural life of the people, while promoting scientific temper among masses.
With a vision to document the story of how the Constitution of India was created, Rajya Sabha TV produced the 10-part TV mini-series Samvidhaan, which was directed by the noted film director Shyam Benegal.[2][3][4][5]
The following is a list of programmes which are telecast on Rajya Sabha TV:[6]
- The Big Picture: daily (Mon-Fri) program which features discussion on one topic of current national or international importance

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
AstraZeneca said today it will license from Merck & Co. its Phase IIa cancer drug candidate MK-1775. The $50 million-plus deal helps AstraZeneca build its pipeline in a core therapy area while enabling Merck to focus its oncology efforts on two later-stage experimental drugs.
Merck will receive a $50 million up-front fee from AstraZeneca, and could also receive future payments tied to undisclosed development and regulatory milestones, plus sales-related payments and tiered royalties. The agreement is contingent on expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvement Act.
AstraZeneca will be responsible for all future clinical development, manufacturing, and marketing of MK-1775, an oral small molecule WEE1 kinase inhibitor designed to kill certain tumor cells by inducing their division without undergoing normal DNA repair processes. According to AstraZeneca, preclinical evidence suggests that a combination of MK-1775 and DNA damage-inducing chemotherapy agents can enhance antitumor properties compared with chemo alone.
"The compound has demonstrated encouraging clinical efficacy data, and we intend to study it in a range of cancer types where there is a high unmet medical need," Susan Galbraith, head of AstraZeneca's oncology innovative medicines unit, said in a statement. "MK-1775 is a strong addition to AstraZeneca's growing oncology pipeline, which already includes a number of inhibitors of the DNA damage response."
Oncology is one of AstraZeneca's three core therapy areas, along with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, and respiratory, inflammation, and autoimmunity diseases. CEO Pascal Soriot halved AstraZeneca's core therapy areas to three in March, as part of a company restructuring designed to reverse years of clinical setbacks, and which included elimination of 3,900 additional jobs.
Iain D. Dukes, svp and head of licensing and external scientific affairs at Merck, said the licensing agreement will benefit his company by helping it realize the potential of MK-1775 while Merck focuses on advancing two of its later-stage oncology programs, MK-3475 and vintafolide.

Our city's transportation future is moving forward in an exciting way. VIA is focused on the future with Vision 2040, an update to the 2035 Long Range Comprehensive Transportation Plan (LRCTP). SmartMove is taking action now with near term solutions to help improve the VIA system today.
In 2011, VIA adopted a 2035 Long Range Comprehensive Transportation Plan (LRCTP) that prioritized transit services and high-capacity corridors in the San Antonio region. Over the past several years, these corridors have seen improved transit services. The 2035 LRCTP also identified short-term transit needs, including new transit facilities at the Grand and Centro Plaza, the Robert Thompson Transit Center, Brooks City-Base, and in the Stone Oak area. The improvements identified in the 2035 LRCTP are being delivered as part of VIA's SmartMove 5-year plan.
VIA updates its Long Range Plan every five years with revisions and amendments. This periodic update allows VIA to prioritize and align transit investments to coincide with other regional projects and priorities. Vision 2040 is an update to VIA's Long Range Comprehensive Transportation Plan, which identifies priorities for the public transportation system serving San Antonio and surrounding communities. The Vision 2040 planning effort will investigate the impact of growth in our region and engage our community in a conversation about how transit can play an increased role in supporting our region's transportation system. Vision 2040 builds upon the SmartMove capital improvements and identifies priorities that will carry us into the future.
To learn more about the update process and stay involved with the VIA Vision 2040 Long Range Plan visit VIAvision2040.com.
SmartMove is a 5-year plan created by VIA, local and national transportation firms, city officials and the San Antonio community. The plan aims to develop three transit centers, a park and ride facility, and improved downtown patron amenities. SmartMove is part of VIA's Long Range Plan. This collaborative vision will make San Antonio public transportation something to be envied by cities across the country. Our city's future is headed along an innovative path, and SmartMove is how we'll get there.

Carlsbad already is a laughing stock of New Mexico it is run by a bunch of corrupt crony good old boys and girls, perfect example look at Canal Street project what a F up job.
#8 Jan 19, 2012
Canal Street is a construction job funded and overseen by the State of New Mexico. The City of Carlsbad has no say in how it is done, by whom, or what the schedule is.
#9 Jan 19, 2012
They should hire my California Cutie.
#10 Jan 19, 2012
You are totally incorrect. Our local GOBs are in involved whether you believe it or not. Are you saying the Forrest family has no influence?
#11 Jan 20, 2012
In the progress of the Canal St project, yes, no influence. Sorry to disturb your fantasy world.
#12 Jan 20, 2012
Yeah...stop wearing your behind as a hat.
#13 Jan 20, 2012
Why do you think Harry and Jackie got out of town so fast, he got sick and tired of the corrupt cronies and he didn't want to get tied up with embezzlement charges, that's what's going on.
Canal Street project There's a lot of embezzlement going on soaking it for every penny they can.
#14 Jan 20, 2012
Why don't you go lie down on canal while they repave it.
#15 Jan 20, 2012
Hmmmmm Are you saying the Forrest family has no influence
#16 Jan 20, 2012
u must be a CDOD member.
#17 Jan 21, 2012
HAHA! Hardly! I JUST DON'T LIKE IDIOTS.
#18 Jan 21, 2012
HaHa! Just watched an old women make the Canal Street crew clean up tree clippings in front of store front right next to Canal. I was watching out the window when she started berating in on them. They went ahead and did it. If this old lady can do it, then the city or anybody can do it.
I go to Albertson's, then I find out that they have the West bound lane closed off, then you have to exit out back on E Church. Anybody else like this??
#19 Jan 22, 2012
Canal Street crew clean up tree clippings WOW !
#20 Jan 22, 2012
Even when the streets were in good shape, it's always been impossible to get anywhere in Carlsbad in a hurry.
Just relax, take the back streets, maybe you'll see something new and interesting. There's no reason to use Canal street unless you're going all the way through town, and that's been possible throughout almost all of the construction.

AbstractPhase change materials (PCMs) are a class of materials that use phase changes (e.g., melting) to absorb or release relatively large amounts of latent heat at relatively constant temperature. Applications include such things as clothing, building air conditioning, and medical-related shipping containers. However, the one area that still plagues the widespread use of PCMs is that they have a low thermal conductivity. A PCM that has a higher thermal conductivity would revolutionize the applications that could use PCMs for thermal energy storage. This research will develop PCMs that have significantly higher thermal conductivities. We will accomplish this by making "Additives" that can be dispersed throughout the PCM. We will determine the feasibility of these "Additives" by performing parametric studies on the PCM/Additive physical properties. The introduction of an enhanced thermally conductive PCM will have broader impacts through improved utilization in consumer products. Applications not previously pursued will be open to use of these materials because of the improved thermal transport. Currently thermal energy storage containers have to have expensive and exotic methods to increase surface area to compensate for the poor thermal conductivity of the PCMs. An improved understanding of the nature of an "additive" for thermal conductivity enhancement could benefit not only the thermal energy storage market but also the entire heat transfer fluid industry.

Al-Ahly star Mohamed 'Gedo' Nagy could be sidelined for six months after injuring his knee in a 1-1 CAF Confederation Cup draw against Etoile Sahel.
'Gedo' retired 30 minutes into the CAF heavyweights draw at the weekend and a club official told Egyptian media the striker would be out of action for up to half a year.
Nagy only recently returned to action for the Cairo 'Red Devils' after foot surgery and rejoins a long casualty list, including fellow striker Emad Moteab.
Egyptians Ahly and Tunisians Etoile are among the three most successful CAF clubs with 26 titles between them and the Group B match at Mediterranean resort Sousse did not disappoint.
Cautious Ahly were content to sit back during the opening half, but the tactic backfired near half-time when 2006 Confederation Cup winners Etoile scored.
Ahmed Fahy and Saad Samir failed to cut off a cross and Algerian Baghdad Bounedjah beat goalkeeper Sherif Ekramy from close range.
Etoile wasted several early second-half chances to score more goals and were punished just before the hour mark.
Gamal darted on to a pass from substitute Ahmed Shokri and scored with the only shot Ahly had on target.
Etoile finished strongly at the Stade Olympique with in-form Bounedjah foiled by the woodwork before Marouane Tej blazed wide.
The clash of giants at the 30,000-seat stadium was watched by a crowd restricted to 8,000 owing to post-Arab Spring security concerns.
A point kept Ahly top of the table with four, Etoile and Ivorians Sewe San Pedro have two each and Zambians Nkana one.
Sewe were grateful to goalkeeper Ake Ahouchi for a 1-1 draw at Nkana in a match overshadowed by the death of home club coach Masauso Mwale.
The 51-year-old died on the eve of the game from severe head injuries after his car overturned on the Ndola-Kitwe highway.
Roger Assale put the Ivorians ahead midway through the opening half, Roger Kampamba equalised, and a string of spectacular Ahouchi saves denied the Zambians maximum points.
Cameroonians Coton Sport leapt from the bottom to the top of Group A with a 2-1 home victory over Malians Real Bamako in Garoua.
Nigerien Daouda Kamilou scored to give the 'Cottoners' a 1-0 half-time advantage, Badra Ali Sylla equalised and Ephraim Yosanguim snatched the 80th-minute match-winner.
Kofi Boua missed a penalty, had a goal ruled offside, and fluffed several other scoring opportunities as Ivorians ASEC Mimosas were held 0-0 by Congolese AC Leopards in Abidjan.
Coton have three points, ASEC two, and Leopards and Real one each with the Cameroonians and Congolese playing a game less.
Matchday 3 fixtures are scheduled for the June 6-8 weekend.

Omarosa's Brother Murdered in Lover's Quarrel
Originally posted 10/11/2011 12:40PM
The brother of Celebrity Apprentice star Omarosa Manigault was murdered in a lover's quarrel last Sunday, police in Youngstown, Ohio, tell that town's Vindicator newspaper.
Jack Manigault, 40, received several gunshots, including a fatal wound to the head, after his home was broken into by Marco Cardenas, 22, say police. Manigault was asleep at the time with a woman who was formerly the girlfriend of the alleged assailant. Two children were also in the house.
A statement released by Omarosa Manigault through her Washington publicist said: "We thank everyone for their amazing outpouring of support surrounding the tragic death of my brother Jack. ... Right now it is an extremely difficult time and we ask that you allow family privacy to grieve and make all necessary arrangements."
Ivanka Trump's Baby is 'An Angel,' Says Her Aunt

While handbag designer Vanessa Trump and her husband, Celebrity Apprentice advisor Donald Trump Jr., await the arrival of their new son in eight weeks, their two children are already getting to know their cousin – Ivanka Trump's baby with husband Jared Kushner, Arabella Rose, who was born July 17.
"My daughter and son have both seen her. I'm very happy about that, because it's good practice, to see how they'll be when I have the baby in two months." Vanessa told PEOPLE this weekend at East Hampton's Blue & Cream store during a trunk show for La Poshett, a python-patterned handbag line that she designs with her mother and sister.
NeNe Leakes: No Hard Feelings Toward Star Jones

She was the the reason she quit Celebrity Apprentice, but that isn't stopping NeNe Leakes from keeping it cordial with former fellow contestant Star Jones.
"Saying hello costs me nothing – that's free," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star, 43, tells ESSENCE.com. "I'm not so in a rage that I can't say hello and I can't stand in the same room as Star."
The two famously feuded and resorted to name-calling on the NBC show, and their rivalry hit a peak when Leakes unloaded on Jones in front of a client.
Celebrity Apprentice Winner Revealed!

After a tumultuous season of rivalries on NBC's Celebrity Apprentice, John Rich and Marlee Matlin proved a harmonious final pairing.
Just before the final decision was announced on Sunday night – the final challenge had involved promoting a brand of soda – the pair performed a song, "For the Kids," which Rich sang and Matlin, who is deaf, signed.
Then came the moment of truth.

Marlee Matlin & John Rich: Too Nice to Fight on Celebrity Apprentice?
Originally posted 05/22/2011 06:00AM
Perhaps surprisingly, the two calmest of this season's contestants – Marlee Matlin and John Rich – ended up making it to the finale of Celebrity Apprentice, which will air on NBC Sunday night.
Unlike others who went before them, the Oscar-winning Matlin, 45, and country music's Rich, 37, never locked horns with others, as did Meat Loaf with Gary Busey, and Star Jones with NeNe Leakes.
Not that there isn't some sense of rivalry between the two finalists. "We are friends but we are still competing," Rich tells PEOPLE. "We still have to go before [judge Donald]Trump and America. I want the quarter million [dollars for charity], and I want it bad."
NeNe Leakes: Celebrity Apprentice Was 'Toxic' for Me
Originally posted 05/11/2011 08:25AM
NeNe Leakes never had second thoughts about quitting Celebrity Apprentice. It all just got to be too much, she says.
"I don't regret it. I felt very good about it. I always do what my gut tells me to do," the Real Housewives of Atlanta star says in an interview airing Wednesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
She adds: "I'm a grown woman, and nobody makes decisions for me. I make my own decisions. It was a toxic situation for me."
Star Jones Compares NeNe Leakes to a Wild Animal
Originally posted 05/03/2011 08:45AM
The last time the Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes sat down to talk with Ellen DeGeneres, she called fellow Celebrity Apprentice contestant Star Jones "a disaster." After Sunday night's vicious spat between the contestants, Jones appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show – and she didn't miss her chance to strike back.
"What were you thinking when NeNe was going off like that?" DeGeneres asks Jones in an episode airing Tuesday.
"I was thinking my grandmother is going to watch this," Jones says. "I was thinking I need to keep calm."
She also couldn't resist comparing her costar to a feral animal. "When you're confronted in the wild with an un-caged animal you're supposed to retreat," Jones says. "You're not supposed to attack."
NeNe Leakes on Star Jones: 'She Is a Disaster'

How does NeNe Leakes really feel about her Celebrity Apprentice nemesis Star Jones?
"She is bossy, she is manipulative, conniving," Leakes says. "And I'm not even being funny. I think that is real. I honestly think that is who she is."
The Real Housewives of Atlanta star, who appears on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Wednesday, tells DeGeneres that she and Jones were never friendly.

Celebrity Apprentice contestant Richard Hatch turned himself into U.S. marshals on Monday to begin a nine-month prison sentence, according to The Providence Journal.
But Hatch, who is serving time for failing to pay taxes on his $1 million prize from the first season of Survivor, has someone on the outside who may be willing to help him.
Bret Michaels Has Winning Advice for Celebrity Apprentice Contestants

After all the battles Bret Michaels has fought over the past 12 months, he still ranks winning Celebrity Apprentice as "one the toughest things I've ever done emotionally and physically, because they drain you down to find who the winner is." So now he has some expert advice for the show's remaining hopefuls.
"You got to work hard, delegate and be able to perform on a fume," says Michaels, who turns 48 March 15. "Because you don't eat a whole lot and you don't sleep a whole lot, and that's the truth."
He adds: "Listen to what Donald Trump and the task assigners are asking you to do. And you better be good at rallying your team, even when they don't like you or believe in you. Eventually, you're going to be facing the same people you worked with."

Hello all,
I'm trying my best to add a login box to the front-end of my site. Using plugins hasn't worked well so far aesthetically.
My preferred method so far has been to install ExecPHP and paste code into the widget in the footer, which works ok.
Further to what I've done so far, I'd like to:
- Add "Register | Forgot your password?" links for non-logged in users
- Add a link to account management for logged in users
- Remove the "Remember Me" box entirely, as it doesn't sit well with the theme
Would anyone be kind enough to help me out? My current code is below.
if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { // Display WordPress login form:
$args = array(
'redirect' => admin_url(),
'form_id' => 'loginform-custom',
'label_username' => __( 'Username' ),
'label_password' => __( 'Password' ),
'label_remember' => __( 'Remember Me' ),
'label_log_in' => __( 'Log In' ),
'remember' => true
wp_login_form( $args );
} else { // If logged in:
wp_loginout( home_url() ); // Display "Log Out" link.
echo " | ";
wp_register('', ''); // Display "Site Admin" link.
Nick :)

Though the observation was made 150 years ago, it is perhaps not generally realized that blood clots much more rapidly than usual after a severe sudden hemorrhage. Cohnheim noted, in fact, that during the course of extensive bloodletting in animals the last sample of blood coagulated almost instantaneously. This phenomenon has been investigated rather extensively and rests on well confirmed observations.1 The purposeful result of such a mechanism is apparent; it illustrates anew the existence of natural forces to counteract the effects of injury and disease. The ancient practice of bloodletting in cases of hemorrhage, paradoxical as it may seem, has perhaps a sufficient basis to account for its long continued use. The ability of the body to recover from extensive blood losses is great; the stopping of the leak by a clot, promoted by additional loss of blood, may in some cases be more important than replacing the

PHOTOS: First Look at Lisa Vanderpump's Pump Lounge in West Hollywood
Pump Lounge, a posh new restaurant, bar, and garden launched by Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Vanderpump, will open its doors to the public this Thursday. Before its grand opening, Vanderpump, who also owns nearby restaurants Sur Lounge and Villa Blanca, gave Out Traveler a private tour of her latest Los Angeles–area establishment, showing off her coat of arms, century-old olive trees, and a hand-painted homage to the LGBT heritage of the neighborhood. Check out the photos below.
Behind Pump Lounge's gates is a surprising garden with Mediterranean-influenced flourishes, including iron lamps, accent pillows, a waterfall, and outdoor chandeliers.
In an homage to West Hollywood's LGBT population, Lisa Vanderpump handpainted a message in the VIP lounge that commemorates the overturning of Proposition 8 .
In addition to quotations from Vanderpump and her costars on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Pump Lounge's VIP area also has the letters "HBIC" inscribed on the wall, short for "Head Bitch in Charge."
The olive trees planted throughout Pump Lounge's courtyard are around 100 years old and were transplanted from Northern California.
Bottles of Moët and Perrier Jouet await consumption atop the outdoor bar.
Food Network Star's Penny Davidi heads the kitchen, which serves much of Pump's Mediterranean-influenced cuisine like burrata, seafood carpaccio, tuna tartare, salads, and pastas, al fresco under the shade of olive trees.
Owner Lisa Vanderpump, standing in Pump Lounge's interior, prepares to brief her new staff.
Lisa gives the Vanderpump Rules to the venue's attractive waitstaff. Several episodes of the Bravo reality series, which follows the lives of Vanderpump's employees, are filmed at Pump Lounge and Sur Lounge, her other West Hollywood property.
Pump Lounge's sun-filled interior offers varied and whimsical seating.
A muscled bar staff discusses the game plan for Pump Lounge's opening weekend.
Select decor pays homage to Vanderpump's British roots, such as framed portraits of the Beatles.
A construction worker packs up, having just finished installing the venue's name on its facade.
Lettering and an olive tree graphic on the windows insist that besides being a bar and restaurant, Pump Lounge is also a garden.

While it may no longer be in existence, Hopewell High School is still very much alive in the hearts of its alumni.
Graduates of the former first through 12th grade school held a reunion with representatives from 28 classes. Chuck Norris was a member of the last graduating class to go through Hopewell.
"So you had the whole history from 1934 until '62 and I'd seen the consolidation of the new west Muskingum come by and it's special to me because we have all that history," says Chuck Norris of the Class of 1962.
The reunion is held each year, and no matter if they're from Zanesville or a couple states over, many make the trip to see old friends.
"I'm from Wisconsin. I'm here for my 52nd class reunion, I used to live here years ago, I come every year," says Majorie Ott of the Class of 1952.
Marjorie Ridenour graduated from Hopewell in 1935. "Some people I haven't seen for years and years so I've very glad to see them."
Following a meal, a representative spoke on behalf of each graduating class.

I like your plugin. But while i'm using it on my site(gvizdyk.org.ua), validation (http://validator.w3.org) shows an error.
