PAINTINGS
Probably the most famous painting in the world is Leonardo da Vinci's La Gioconda,
better known as Mona Lisa. This painting is a portrait of Madame Gherardini,
personifying the ideal woman of the Renaissance. They tried to damage the painting
more than once, and in 1911 it was also kidnapped, returning only 2 years later.
Admiration for it truly knows no bounds: Napoleon Bonaparte even removed it from
the museum and ordered to hang it in his own bedroom. The painting is officially
declared priceless, which is not surprising, as this masterpiece is the best art of all
time. The only existing price is its $ 3 billion insurance. Mona Lisa is currently kept in
the Louvre, Paris.
2. The Birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli (1486)
Another of the most famous paintings is The Birth of Venus. Botticelli's painting
illustrates the myth of the birth of Aphrodite. The beautiful goddess drifts to the
shore in a seashell, driven by the Zephyr's wind (West wind), and on the shore she is
met by one of the Graces. The Birth of Venus is well preserved thanks to the fact that
Botticelli applied a protective layer of egg yolk to the painting. This masterpiece is
kept in Florence in the Uffizi Gallery.
For more than 500 years of its existence, the famous fresco The Last Supper has
been restored at least five times, and the last restoration took 21 years. This fresco
by the great Leonardo depicts Jesus' last supper before his betrayal, arrest and
death. In addition to composition, shapes and colors, discussions of this fresco are
replete with theories about hidden symbols and the presence of Mary Magdalene
next to Jesus. As one of the famous art pieces, this important art asset is located in
the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery in Milan.
5. Sacred and Profane Love by Tiziano Vecelli (1515—1516)
The current name of the painting was not given by Titian himself, but appeared only
two centuries later. The composition of the painting caused a lot of controversy
among scientists, but in the end it was possible to prove that it was a gift for the
wedding of the Venetian aristocrat Nicolo Aurelio and the widow Laura Bagarotto.
The dress of an earthly girl imitates a wedding dress. The landscape in the
background is also symbolic: the road uphill is a symbolic wish of prudence and
loyalty, the plain is for mutual understanding and peace, and the rabbits are for
fertility. Among other famous art pieces, the painting is in the Galleria Borghese in
Rome.
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Dutch artist Jan Vermeer is often referred to as the
northern Mona Lisa. This is not only because of its extraordinary popularity, but also
because the expression on the girl's face is difficult to capture and explain. Very little
is known about the painting: it is not dated, the name of the girl depicted is unknown.
In 2003, based on the novel of the same name by Tracy Chevalier, a film was cut
about the hypothetical creation of the painting. Besides stylistic differences, “Girl
with a Pearl Earring” is technically not even a portrait, but “troni”, a Dutch word for a
person's head, but not a complete portrait. In 1881, at an auction in The Hague, the
painting was purchased for only two guilders and thirty cents. Between 2012 and
2014, when Mauritshuis was undergoing restoration, Girl with a Pearl Earring went on
tour to the USA, Italy, and Japan. Everywhere it gathered huge crowds, which finally
strengthened its status as one of the most famous paintings in history. The painting
is kept in the Mauritshuis gallery in The Hague.
8. The Night Watch by Rembrandt van Rijn (1642)
The true name of this painting by Rembrandt is The Shooting Company of Frans
Banning Cocq and Willem van Ruytenburch. In the 19th century, art critics who
discovered the painting thought that human figures were standing against a dark
background, and it was called The Night Watch. Later it was discovered that a layer
of soot made the painting dark, though the action actually takes place during the day.
However, the painting replenished the treasury of famous art pieces under the name
The Night Watch. The painting is kept in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Liberty Leading the People by Eugene Delacroix, as the best art of all time, kept at
the Louvre Museum in Paris. Delacroix created a painting based on the July
Revolution of 1830 in France. In a letter to his brother on October 12, 1830, Delacroix
wrote: "If I did not fight for the Motherland, then at least I will paint for it." The
partially nude woman leading the people symbolizes the dedication of the French
people who fought for liberal ideas.
ARCHITECTURE
Maremagnum//Getty Images
A museum’s architecture can be just as iconic as the artwork it houses inside, and
the Louvre Museum in Paris is proof. Fun fact: The museum’s incredibly iconic glass
pyramid was built by I.M. Pei, the first non-French architect to work on the project.
Controversy certainly ensued.
4.Sydney Opera House — Sydney
The Sydney Opera House had to overcome a series of hurdles before cementing
itself as the most popular performance hall. Though Danish designer Jørn Utzon won
over 233 other submissions in 1957, the project faced a series of complications and
Utzon formally resigned in 1966. However, Utzon agreed to rejoin the project in
1999, adding the final touches before the Sydney Opera House reopened in 2004.
5.Colosseum — Rome
While Rome’s Colosseum was originally built in A.D. 70 to serve as a fighting arena,
it has since become an architectural landmark not to be missed. With a round facade
and ancient Roman details, this is one iconic building that has withstood the test of
time.
6.The Shard — London
Though it’s relatively new to the London skyline, the Shard has already become an
iconic fixture. Determined to create a “vertical city,” architect Renzo Piano drew
inspiration from the nearby strand of railroads, sail ship masts, and paintings from
Canaletto. The result? A building that is both modern and majestic.
7.Taj Mahal — Agra, India
A UNESCO World Heritage site—and one of the new seven wonders of the
world—India’s Taj Mahal is a bona fide marbled masterpiece. There’s a reason
people travel from near and far to see this symmetrical structure.
8. Acropolis of Athens (Athens)
Acropolis of Athens
Built atop a rocky hill, the Acropolis of Athens is an ancient Greek citadel. Its most
iconic structure, the Parthenon, is a peripteral octastyle Doric temple, meaning it’s
surrounded by columns, with eight on either end.
9.The Pyramids of Giza (Giza, Egypt)
We can only theorize how exactly the Pyramids of Giza were built, but we do know
the complex of ancient Egyptian structures took nearly 100 years and thousands of
workers to complete.
10. Westminster Abbey (London)
Westminster Abbey
A site of royal coronations, weddings, and burials for nearly 1,000 years,
Westminster Abbey is an Anglican church whose current Gothic-style building dates
back to the 13th century.
Traditional Modern Dances
1. Ballet
Tutus, pointe shoes and men in tights are what come to mind when someone
mentions ballet. Yet Ballet is so much more than that. Said to be the most difficult
genre to master, ballet is a rigorous style of dance that is the foundation of most
forms of dance training. It is usually set, but not limited to, orchestrated music and is
often the first dance style a child will experience as they begin their dance classes.
Ballet shoes are usually worn until the dancer's feet have developed enough
strength to progress into pointe shoes, often around the age of 12 and only after the
students have been given permission by their teacher. Ballet is an excellent teaching
tool for all dancers as it is a complex mixture of technique, coordination and
musicality.
2. Tap
Tap is best described as "musical feet". Tap is a form of dance where dancers use
their feet as percussive instruments. Tap shoes are specially designed with
percussive metal plates on the toe and heel, called taps. There are many different
styles of tap dancing however the two most noted are Rhythm Tap and Broadway
Tap. Rhythm Tap is more musically driven, where Broadway Tap is more dance and
movement-oriented. Tap is great for fostering rhythm in dancers, as it turns their feet
into a musical instrument.
3. Jazz
Jazz is the most popular style of dance among dancers. Jazz combines all dance
styles in a high energetic dance that is without conventional boundaries. It has been
influenced by ballet, modern, tap, hip-hop, African dance and many more styles.
Jazz is most often accompanied by upbeat, currently popular songs. Jazz shoes
typically have a leather split sole which offers the dancer's foot more freedom to
bend and move. Due to the upbeat music, dramatic themes and cool choreography,
it isn’t hard to see why this is the most popular dance style!
4. Modern
Modern was said to be first created as a rebellion against classical ballet. A raw style
of dance, modern dance is an expression on the dancers' relationship to the floor,
including methods of contractions, release and movement, as well as the dancer's
breath. Modern dancers have a variety of shoes to choose from that allow freedom
in the foot while providing protection from the floor. Though its roots are in opposition
to the seemingly oppressive rigour for classical ballet, modern and ballet are closely
linked in the complexity of technique, coordination and musicality.
5. Lyrical
Though the basis of lyrical dance is ballet merged with jazz and modern. It is
dynamic while simultaneously subtle, and focuses on conveying feelings and
emotions through movement. Set to popular songs that emphasize deeper feeling
and emotion, such as grief, longing, love and despair. Lyrical shoes provide
protection for the dancer while allowing them to feel the dance floor as much as
possible. Though proper dance techniques are important, the true heart of lyricism is
found in its expressive nature.
6. Hip Hop
Hip Hop is an edgy, raw and intense urban dance style also known as Street Dance.
The origin of popping, locking and crumping, Hip Hop is mostly danced to rap, urban
and not surprisingly, hip hop music. Funky, high-top dance sneakers are normally
worn by dancers. What sets Hip Hop apart from most dance genres is that its
original street dance was freestyle in nature and did not follow a predefined
choreography. A style of dance that is open to personal expression, Hip hop artists
were free to interpret the dance in any way they could, and this led to many
innovative and exciting dance styles.
7. Contemporary
Contemporary dance embodies ballet, modern, jazz and lyrical. It uses a technique
such as ballet as its fundamentals and creates many more movements that do not
adhere to the strict rules of ballet and modern. There are different categories of
contemporary dance such as Contemporary Ballet and Contemporary Jazz.
Contemporary dance can be danced to all types of music and in non-traditional
costumes. Contemporary dancers often wear lyrical dance shoes, and sometimes no
shoes at all.
8. Line Dancing
Line Dancing is a social dance that is made up of a sequence of repeated steps and
is traditionally associated with country-western music. It is a solo dance that is
danced in a straight line, a circle or in a “follow the leader” pattern. Footwear is
decided by the dancer and is often cowboy boots for the men and heels for the
women. Many women choose to wear a Cuban heel shoe as it offers great support
and is the perfect heel height for any age.
10.Folk dance
Inspired by traditional dances passed down through generations. It's rooted in the
customs and rituals of diverse communities.

Hollywood pop star. They go on an adventure around Los Angeles and start to like
each other. When the girl returns home, the famous guy, on national TV, says he
doesn't know her, and never met her.
SONGS
About You is a sweet song about the sensations you feel when you are deeply in
love. In the lyrics, the singer describes how he still remembers why he loves that
person and asks his girl, “Do you think I have forgotten?”
about a relationship between lovers with incompatible desires. The story will surely
sound familiar to anyone who's wanted more from a relationship and tried to be chill
about it, but it's all the smartly phrased specifics that make "Casual" sing: the blurry
images of future domesticity, the re-contextualized conversation with a relative, the
eternal miscalculation of clinging to sex as a stand-in for emotional intimacy.
3.CRUEL SUMMER BY TAYLOR SWIFT
The song is about "the agony and ecstasy of an anxious summer romance".
4. LOVER BY TAYLOR SWIFT

will do anything for them even though they know they can't be together.
8.SUNNY DAYS BY WAVE TO EARTH
Is a happy and romantic song about the love for family and friends interpreted as the
love for a lover.
9. CARDIGAN

10. LONG LIVE

featuring girl group harmonies and chiming rock guitars. The lyrics are about Swift's
gratitude for her fans and bandmates, using high-school and royalty imagery to
describe the accomplishments in the narrator's life.
CONCLUSION
Songs, paintings, architecture, and movies are all powerful forms of artistic
expression that have a profound impact on human culture and emotions. They each
tell stories, communicate ideas, and evoke deep feelings, and music connects our
mind and soul using melody and rhythm. Songs can make a person sad, happy or
calm. Painting is a person's way to communicate or express their ideas or emotions.
Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing buildings and
structures that serve functional needs while also being aesthetically pleasing.
