School was always like a prison to me, I could never bring myself to stay there, even four hours a day, when the sun was shining and the sea was so tempting, and it was such fun scrambling over cliffs and paddling in the shallows." http://www.artcafe.net/ah/monet/index.html
"Cliff walk at Pourville" is one of the works of art by Monet that represents the connection of human beings within nature. This painting contains a variety of emotions a deep feeling of serenity and peace. By just looking at the painting, we can imagine being there and hearing the sound of the breeze, the smell of the salty water of the ocean and being in contact with nature. We can imagine admiring the sea and the mountains, the sunny day and the blue sky. The connection between human beings and nature is special and unique. Nature is us and is within us.
"Cliff walk at Pourville" presents two women walking a walk on the cliff. They are in contact with nature, with the plants, the sea, the natural environment. This painting was created in 1888, and Monet is showing and reflecting a day when two people went for a walk and enjoyed this connection, and peace within nature.
Claude Monet as an impressionist painter...
The horizon line, the division between the sky and the sea gives us an idea of infinity, leading us to go beyond the borders. This painting captures a moment that we all should admire and enjoy.

It still exists in us in our daily life but now it has stopped existing as it natural form at least in some parts of the world nature has just lost its essence and had become an "artificial nature."

This interpretation would therefore tend to suggest a view of the art that shows cultural and social disparities between classes and social groups in the society. 3. Conclusion In the final analysis what is clear that Mithen's approach holds a great deal of potential for an understanding of past cultures and societies from an archeological perspective. This interpretive stance is valuable in that it takes into account a wide ranging and
Particularism vs. Cultural Ecology Franz Boaz defined the concept in anthropology, which is known by the name of "Historical Particularism." Boas was a champion of this theory, which, although it did not by any means totally ignore the greater theoretical framework that surrounded an event, focused directly on the event itself and attempted account for this event by tying it in some way to a theory that could explain the
The life of the world is an endless cyclical act of discarding and renewal. The philosophical nature of art can show us that to refuse to recycle and to cling to the false idea that the shiny new tin wheels on our roller blades, that originates in the scrap metal of our recent ancestors, is new is a powerful one. Scanlan's poetic musings in On Garbage also stress the humbling
Human Ecology At the beginning of this course, I offered that my stance on the human ecological situation was generally pessimistic. That stance has not changed, because I do not see how any thinking human could be optimistic about the present state of human ecology. However, I would like to note that pessimism is not the same thing as quietism -- this course has inspired me to change my thinking about
