The two are seated on a swing, hanging on heavy ropes suspended from large unseen branches in a thick forest bathed with glowing primordial light. Her gown, diaphanous and white, more than slightly reveals her perfect sensual form. His arms hold tightly to the ropes, which supports them. Springtime is arguably the single greatest image of young romantic love ever conceived, poignantly touching the hearts of millions over the last 125 years. Pierre August Cot painted Springtime in 1873. Soon thereafter it was exhibited at the Paris Salon where it created a sensation. In the decades that followed it became a virtual icon of 19th Century sensibilities and taste, with fame so widespread that most westerners still recognize the image, if not the artist. Reproduced millions of times, the odyssey of this masterpiece is one of the fascinating and mysterious stories of the art world.
A triptych of essays. \"The Midwife\" aims to provide lessons in a novel field called \"sacred obstetrics,\" or the midwifery of God. Its main postulate is that God must be reborn into the world as an antidote to a pervasive cultural nihilism. The \"Postscript\" takes up a number of issues explored by Anti-Kierkegaard in \"The Midwife,\" such as irony, indirect communication, reflection, and the pia fraus. On the other side of the coin, in \"The Euthanist,\" anti-Nietzsche explores the landscape of a fully immanent spirituality after the murder of transcendence.

Bathed in the ephemeral glow of dusk, this evocative print captures the serene essence of St Abba's Harbour, nestled within our 'Scottish Harbours' collection. The piece exudes the quintessential characteristics of Expressionism, where emotions are emphasised over accurate depictions, and the inner world is brought to the fore. Vibrant strokes of colour enliven the canvas, with rich purples, deep blues, and warm oranges reflecting the interplay of light and shadow as day gives way to night. The harbour scene is alive with a dance of reflections upon the gently undulating water, creating a harmonic symphony of hues that offer viewers an immersive visual experience. The silhouette of the hills stands guard in the background, their form softened by the fading light, yet commanding in their presence. In opposition, the configuration of the boats moored in the harbour whisper of tranquil moments by the water's edge. The waterfront cottages, aglow with the day's last kiss of sun, appear both inviting and mysterious, held in a moment of time where stories begin to unfold as night approaches. This print is a celebration of Scottish heritage and the unspoken beauty of the country's coastal landscapes. Timeless and captivating, it is a tribute to nature's daily masterpiece at St Abba's Harbour, an artwork that promises to evoke emotion and contemplation in every viewer.
Welcome to "Part 3" of our "History of the World" Timeline Notebook Study (Part 1 is shared here, Part 2 is here)... How We are Conducting a "History of the World" Timeline Study: Our family goal is to go through the major events in history, starting with Creation, and document all the important dates using appropriate clip art (a.k.a.timeline figures) in a Book of the Centuries Timeline Notebook. We are complimenting this by having a separate notebook where we place our actual school work which pertains to each historical period. Each time frame that we study will be treated like a mini unit study. This we would keep inside our binders in chronological order and will continue to add work, tabs and notebooks as needed. Thus, we will be utilizing two binders per student. In the end, we hope to have a collection of information from the past, in chronological order, resembling our own "Personal Encyclopedia Set" (in binder format) and our own "History of the World" timelines (in binder format). We will be sharing some practical study ideas in the next post in this series... If you are hesitant in regards to: what to cover, when to cover it and what would be considered a "major historical event", then below are our favorite resources which take out all the guess work. They allow you to simply have fun studying together. Included in this series are a list of the major historical events (in chronological order), reproducible timeline figure clip art, reading suggestions, science suggestions, Biblical discussion questions, art/craft ideas and so forth for each time period. These lessons provide an excellent "outline of information" that you can modify for your own homeschool (while being very affordable for the years of use you will receive from them). I highly recommend these guides which are adaptable for grades K-9 (and up in my opinion).

We may not be able to recall this or that circumstance, but, 'the imagination is warmed'; we know that there is a great deal to be said on both sides of every question and are saved from crudities in opinion and rashness in action. The present becomes enriched for us with the wealth of all that has gone before." ~ Charlotte Mason

"I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!" - Daniel Plainview, "There Will Be Blood" Our 'There Will Be Blood' art print showcases the entire screenplay, creatively coloured to offer an interesting, contemporary take on traditional movie posters. Printed on museum quality heavyweight fine art paper with a smooth, matte finish, it should brighten any space. "There Will Be Blood" (2007), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, audiences are plunged into the ruthless world of Daniel Plainview, a driven oil prospector whose relentless pursuit of wealth and power leads him to confrontations with both his own humanity and the darker forces at play in the oil industry. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the film delves deep into the complexities of ambition, greed, and the relentless pursuit of the American Dream. As Plainview's empire grows, so too does the darkness within him, culminating in a gripping showdown that will leave an indelible mark on all who bear witness. With its haunting performances, mesmerising cinematography, and unflinching exploration of the human condition, "There Will Be Blood" stands as a modern masterpiece of cinema.

One of the most well-known forms of punishment today is imprisonment. One could argue that for any society to function properly, public order has to be maintained. This is an important function of the state and one of the ways this goal is achieved is through laws. Inevitably, laws have also been broken since they emerged, and punishments have been provided either as a form of retribution or as a deterrent to would-be law-breakers.
