[ send me this essay ]

It is, however, very true. This 8 page paper asserts that the Rococo style was very similar in derivation and materials to the Islamic art that influenced it. Like the Arab style, it was primarily considered as n interior design and, or, architecture. It used stucco as a major material for reliefs and architectural features and it focused on the line as both motion and pattern to give meaning to the design. The religious content of both styles were presented through symbols as opposed to the narrative depiction associated with most Christian art of the Western tradition. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Much of the ongoing concern is focused squarely upon the nuclear bomb tests that have taken place between the ever-feuding India and Pakistan; indeed, the world held its breath when India conducted several nuclear bomb tests last year. Not to be outdone, Pakistan retaliated by detonating its own nuclear bomb test just a few days later. As a result of this blatant show of force between two nations that have a long history of discord, national leaders all across the globe imposed sanctions to clearly state their opposition to such terrorist acts.
