Rediscovering Atlanta’s Architecture
Atlanta is frequently accused of forgetting its history. Indeed, as progress marches forward and the city's core bustles with new development, older structures are discarded as worthless, usurped by monotonous, anonymous gleaming glass towers. We can learn from the losses of the Loew's Grand Theatre, the Piedmont Hotel, the original Equitable Building, Terminal Station, and several other smaller but no less significant buildings that demolition of historic fabric is a loss for our city. And the significance of appreciating the classical architecture that has survived.

Ever wondered why a chefs uniform is white?
We are all familiar with the look of a professional chef. They are all dressed in white, looking stressed and usually calling “service please” from behind a hot plate. Has anything about this image ever struck you as odd? Why would someone dealing with food all day actively choose to wear white? It probably strikes fear into anyone with a washing machine.

Art History Briefing: Bronze Statues’ Role in Art & Architecture
When used in art and architecture, bronze conveys a sense of wealth and nobility. Bronze statue has historically represented gods and leaders from all cultures, which adds to the regal impression one gets when studying them. The colour and complexity of the material appeal to artists, who have historically used it again after it corroded, melting it down to its original form and creating something new.

God’s Bull
This is a portrait of King Chain. He is the inspiration behind this piece and at the time of producing it, I pre assumed him to be the love of my life. Forever being an continuous support and drive in everything I do since we met. Never folding and always propelling me forward, our relationship has taught me many lessons. I was moved to create this to show my love and appreciation for him. I named the piece “God’s Bull”, because to me he is a blessing, born under Taurus. I pulled a lot of references from classical religious medieval art. I specifically chose the halo for its symbolism of spiritual power, whether from the intrinsic power found in a god(s) or that proscribed power by a god(s). The cross held in the right hand is an intentional continuation of refrences Christ blessing with his right hand depicted in religious art throughout history. It is also an ode to his family ties to Christianity. In the pose his head is slightly lifted and he is looking down upon the viewer in discernment, confronting them and drawing them into the composition.

The Passionate Scriptures
The Scriptures were never told this way. They were never known this way. Literally poetic in every form. Literally spoken in the language of the people. That's why it spread like wild fire. The people knew the language. They knew the stories would surround something. They had an idea. They had an hint of the ideologies. This was the Scriptures. Yes the people heard about great gods and goddresses but who would have thought of one god. These radical ideas were delivered by simple poetry. They were delivered by eloquent words. They were delivered by fire burning preachers. They were delivered by ordinary men and women with a mission to change the world. This was not just a fad. This was not just a moment. This was not just a time of sympathy. It was great enlightenment. It was great exploration. It was revolutionary. People weren't fighting as much. People weren't interested in war that much. People weren't infaturated with violence. They were ready to learn. They were ready to hear. They were ready to listen. It was the age of knowledgement. It was the age of advancement. People had many motives. People had desired to know what others have known. They were interested in culture. They were interested in rituals. They were interested in the world. And the Scriptures made known these influences debating Greeks' theologies and ruffing Roman governance. It terrified the rulers that knowledge was being spread and people especially those in boundage were advancing and changing the world. And they proclaimed no right to the knowledge, they only stated that they known the truth. So they could not contained them with their prisons. They could not contained with execution. How could they proclaim peace among their many provinces with violence? This paradox blow the Roman Empire apart. The very Scriptures weakened its grip on the world. The very Scriptures created a new kingdom that did not rely on dictatorship and tyranny. It was said that Messaic kingdom, where there is a unity where everyone matters where freedom will be respected. This has morph the world's governance and the world's views. The Scriptures time and time again have evolved the world's thinking with powerful men and women in power who lean toward their moral and religious belief to appease their people and the standard which was given. The Scriptures have shaped this world. The Scriptures have change history. It is only now we are beginning to uproot the very influence the Scriptures have on our commodities, our way of living and our known traditions.There is no better time than now than to understand the unforeseen. There is no better time than now to rationalize the untold. It is our duty to continue analyze the impact of the Scriptures, historically. They are moving and uplifting and lifechanging. Constantly as the number one book in the world for hundreds of years. We must strive to understand its influence and its driving force on our daily lives. We must learn to deal with its messages throughout our lives. We must learn to apply careful understanding and exact perception of its meaning. We must know the connotations that it leaves on the world we now know. We must try to fight for true paradim. True paradim comes from seeing and perceiving the inevitable and being prepared for the notions.It takes constant studying and constant open mindness. A daily habit of learning by sensing physically and spiritually and morally. We must learn to not be offended and understand the historical context. We must break through the modern norms and take a journey into the unrealized past then we can see the major and profound influences and recognized the truth.
