In Pieta, Michelangelo

until then had been given form
mostly from north of the Alps,

always been connected with the
idea of redemption as

in her arms
MONALISA BY LEONARDO DA VINCI
Da Vinci exploited an optical
illusion to create a unique smile
through perspective and his use
of shadow work. Da Vinci
painted the Mona Lisa in such
a way that the eyes of the Mona
Lisa fall directly in the center of
vision of the viewer, while the
lips fall just under the
periphery of one’s vision.
BAROQUE ART is a
period of artistic styles in
exaggerated motion,

grandeur.

Why
Social
Dancing?
A sedentary lifestyle is a mode of living in which a person, an adult
or child, does not engage in sufficient physical activity or exercise
for what is generally considered healthy living. The term is often
used by doctors or professionals within the medical community to
describe a lifestyle among many people in highly developed
countries that does not afford opportunities for physical activity.
This type of living has been heavily influenced by the propagation
of passive forms of entertainment, such as television, video games,
and computer use. Along with such inactive types of
entertainment, large numbers of adult workers have shifted from
physical labor to office jobs, especially in technologically
developed nations.
Many studies conducted by doctors and researchers have
indicated a variety of negative impacts on a person’s life due
to living a sedentary lifestyle. Most common among them is
increased weight gain and obesity and the accompanying
health problems they can cause, such as heart disease,
diabetes, and increased chances of certain types of cancer.
Lack of exercise can also have a negative impact on a
person’s immune system which can create the possibility for
even more negative health consequences.
