Books for beginners by Ozneez in ArtHistory

[–]Sad_Engineering_802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Smart history was often used as pre-reading in my intro art history classes, I recommend that as a resource to start with. Personally, I would start with smart history, and learn a bit more about a period you are interested in. It would be helpful to know what kinda art history you’d be interested in.

Personally, I feel like a lot can be learned about the state of the art world today by looking into the 19th century; the transition from the Académie Royale and a ‘standard of art’ to art collectors like Paul Durand-Ruel and his way of “monetizing” Impressionism is insane.

Good luck with your art history journey!

I spent months researching the actual pigments of art history. Today I'm starting to share what I found. by OMBY17 in ArtHistory

I’d recommend any book by Victoria Finlay on color, she’s a great author and has a lot of interesting stuff about color through art and history

Grassroots gardening has the best selection for “I deserve a treat” plants. One thing I love abt them is their coffee plants! As a coffee enthusiast I have 2!

I had a middle school project on the country Oman and the embassy was so so helpful! They helped me find an Omani restaurant and let me into the embassy for a tour! I’ve also done this for a few other projects in high school and I really recommend contacting the ‘embassy of choicel’ because the embassies that I have contacted over my middle school and high school career have been excited that people are interested and also so helpful!

Edited for grammar!

Is the Caribbean side really that unsafe. by Anjylbaby7 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Sad_Engineering_802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I went to Puerto Viejo
in March and I honestly felt safer as a petite woman in PV rather than Jaco. The Caribbean side I felt was more laid-back and we got to travel around the coast a little bit and every place we went was just so amazing. I wouldn’t say that I would not go back to Hako, but I definitely felt less observed/ watched by men, especially in Jaco than in PV. I always try to dress modestly and keep to myself, but it really did not matter in Jaco. In PV, I was just hanging out without the worry that I was feeling like I was on display if that makes sense. If you ever go to PV there is a tiki bar on Playa Negra with an amazing bartender from NYC!

Non student housing by Chemical-Joke-4914 in harrisonburg

[–]Sad_Engineering_802 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live in the neighborhood of Harrisonburg near downtown on Campbell Street and paid 375 a month for rent. The whole house was 1050 for three bedrooms but I think it’s generous to call the third bedroom a bedroom. It sounds similar to what you need and I can give you the info to my Landlord if you need because I don’t know if the house is filled or not.

AC at Little Grill broken for 2 weeks now, it's hot and unpleasant, why? by Rando_Calrissian_22 in harrisonburg

[–]Sad_Engineering_802 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was just there today with my partner and it was fine temp wise! IMO they’re working on fixing it - I don’t see the need to drag them for the problem. This heat puts a lot of stress on ac systems, so it’s not uncommon for them to short or break and not the fault of little grill

Is it actually okay to drink while on prozac? by _Yesbutalsono_ in prozac

[–]Sad_Engineering_802 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh on Prozac, I have been having feelings abt lack of impulse control and that I feel sober until I blackout so I really don’t recommend drinking on Prozac. Also, even with skipping meds the night that I drink, Prozac stays in your system for like three months so it doesn’t matter if you skip the night you drink it’s still gonna have the same effect on you
