Arts & Humanities - 21 September 2006

I need to know what were the major influences/trends in art BEFORE the 1950's, and who were the most notable painters. I'm doing a comparative study of the most prominent artists before during and after the Civil Rights Movement.

Hi!!
I am very shy when it comes to dancing, but I would love to be able to dance when I go out clubbing with my boyfriend. Is there any tapes I can buy that will help me boost up my confidence because I have tried to dance, and it really turns out horrible. I try to copy other people too, but that does not work either...it is embarrassing. I feel pretty discouraged to go out clubbing with my boyfriend because of this! I really need some help!!

Why Be Moral? Imagine that you've borrowed $100 from a friend last month, promising to pay him back this month after you received your paycheck. But since then, you've spent more money than you thought you would, and paying your friend back would be very burdensome for you (although not impossible). He's demanding that you repay him. Describe what you would do, and why you would do it.

No matter how much I think that I am just another person in this world I just cant stop thinking that life has something very big and important for me to do. Do you all ever feel the same way?

I saw this painting in an art museum about 20 years ago. I can't remember what the foreground looks like, but the knight appears to be laying down from the top of the painting to the bottom. It's like one of those pictures in the paper where you have to find the hidden objects that appear to be a part of the whole picture.

I know that communism is bad and I'm asking in all seriousness. When you think about communism: "everyone's equal", it sounds like harmony, but it just doesn't work. Why? What are the problems?

I'm 14 and I would really like to learn more about this form of gavernment.

I'm not a communist so don't do the whole hate-mail thing. I'm just a curious teenager.

Thank you for responding seriously.

The bump is traded to another person (mythical) who accepts that bump but gives another ailment, such as a hump. It continues about three times, during the story. This story might have been a part of a collection of folklore tales, but had a moral ending, basically about accepting ourselves as we are. It was read to me back in the 70's, and I have searched. II would love to know the title and author, however, any websites to which one can research a book by content would be appreciated also, as I do not know the author or title. Thanks.

I'll sound like a dinosaur now, but I remember all the hours I spent in the library, etc. I know the internet is a good source for info, but if you're just asking people to give you the answers, you're lazy.

What is the dash called that Poe uses in his stories. For example, in The Purloined Letter, he discrives a character as "Minister D--". Why does he do that? Is there a specific name for that technique? I believe Bronte uses it too in her poetry. Any ideas?

We want to create graphics in Photoshop, but we only have our mouse to work with. What are some items that we can use to draw objects with without breaking our budget? If it helps, we have a Windows XP system.
