Historical
Was Cleopatra a Murderer?
Who Was Cleopatra? Cleopatra was the last ruler of ancient Egypt. Of the many things speculated about Cleopatra, perhaps the most sensitive issue as of late is her origin story. Some scholars debate that Cleopatra was not Egyptian. Cleopatra's mother's lineage is unknown. Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy XII, hailed from a long line of Macedonian Greeks who ruled Egypt for over 300 years. There are theories that she adopted Egyptian customs and learned the Egyptian language because an Egyptian mother taught her. No matter her heritage, she is still the Egyptian queen we remember most today.

Easiest Languages for an English Speaker To Learn
English loves to borrow words from different languages. We’ve borrowed “gung-ho” from Chinese, “chocolate” from Nahuatl, and “plaza” from Spanish. French, in particular, has a lot of words that are similar to English counterparts. Of course, similarities don’t end with vocabulary. Languages might have grammar rules similar to English’s or very different. Some languages use Latin characters like English, while others use different writing systems. There are many ways in which languages can be similar, and these similarities can be a huge help to anyone learning a new language.

One of the most renowned Native American painters and Modernist sculptors of the 20th century
In 1848, Mexico surrendered more than 500,000 square miles of land to a quickly developing United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Despite the fact that the deal finished the moderately short Mexican-American War, it denoted the start of a long battle for the Apache clans who lived on the surrendered land. Resulting from this battle was Allan Capron Haozous or Allan Houser the child of Chiricahua Apache detainees and a craftsman who might proceed to rethink Indigenous workmanship in the twentieth century.

Pablo Picasso
Spanish, 1881-1973. The art movement of Cubism was said to have changed the face of European painting and sculpture. Pablo Picasso was the co-founder of the entire movement together with Georges Braque. Cubism reconciled the three-dimensional with the two-dimensional spaces, in an attempt to hint at the intention behind the themes. Picasso also contributed significantly to Surrealism, Neoclassicism, and Expressionism. Despite achieving international recognition before the age of 50, a comparative analysis of the works created by Picasso in his life, from his childhood to his death, portrays a scale of development that perhaps no other artist could have achieved. By creating more than 20,000 Picasso paintings, prints, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, theatrical sets, and costumes, Picasso played an unparalleled role in impacting the course of 20th century art. Pablo Picasso paintings for sale are available online. Interested ones can browse the Picasso paintings online.

History of Juneteenth. Top Story - June 2021.
June Nineteenth, or Juneteenth, marks the celebration of the emancipation of African-American slaves in Texas in 1865. While the annual celebration started in Texas the following year in 1866 — and became an official Texas state holiday there in 1980 — this formerly obscure holiday is now observed across the United States and around the world. Yesterday, Congress and the President made it an official federal holiday. It is celebrated with church-centered celebrations, parades, fairs, backyard parties, games, contests, and cookouts.

A Journey from a Production Plotter to a Famous Artist
Betty Woodman was a ceramic craftsman most popular for her extravagantly vivid and innovative work which acquired acknowledgment in the mid-1970s. She frequently worked with a deconstructed adaptation of the conventional artistic vessel, with her pieces going from huge site-explicit wall paintings to fragmentary segments and rug like floor pieces. "It bodes well to utilize mud for pots, containers, pitchers, and platters, however I like to have things the two different ways," the craftsman clarified. "I make things that could be useful, yet I truly need them to be viewed as show-stoppers." In its utilization of shading and example, Woodman's initial work can be viewed as a response to the overwhelmingly sober Minimalist and Conceptual stylish pervasive at that point. Brought into the world on May 14, 1930, in Norwalk, CT, she considered craftsmanship at Alfred University and was outstandingly the mother of the commended late picture taker Francesca Woodman. Betty Woodman's works can be found in the assortments of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, among others.
