However, the concept of democracy is more complex and nuanced, with various thinkers offering different definitions and interpretations throughout history.

History of politics
The terms "left wing" and "right wing" are often used to describe political beliefs, but have you ever wondered where these terms come from? The origins can be traced back to the French Revolution in 1789, when the National Constituent Assembly was formed to draft a constitution. The assembly was divided into two groups: those who supported the king and those who favored a more radical approach. The supporters of the king sat on the right side of the President of the Assembly, while the radicals sat on the left. This physical arrangement eventually became associated with the political ideologies of change versus tradition, liberalism versus conservatism.

Butterflies
"Butterflies" is a page from an adult coloring book. I used crayons to fill in the designs. This could be a worksheet for preschool or kindergarten children or even could be used in a special education classroom. The children can count and match the colors of each butterfly. How many orange butterflies? How many blue butterflies? Count the antennas of all the butterflies. It could also lead to a nature/science lesson. Please comment.

person
'person' is a pencil sketch that I did trying to show action of some kind. It is a sketch using my version of Cubism using cubes, squares, triangles and rectangles of various sizes. I see a person trying to throw a ball of sorts. I wonder what you see and I hope to read some comments that I would truly appreciate. I have more pictures and color art posted here on Vocal in ART and CRITIQUE. If you are interested in seeing more of my artwork I have published several coloring books and an art book at 'artwanted.com'.
