Explore is a verb that can be used in many different instances and people can explore many different things. Exploration is a good thing because without it we wouldn’t know many of the things we know today. Exploration helped us discover many things in the past, present, and future.
Some of the things people can explore are places. Think about it, without exploration would Christopher Columbus have discovered America. Probably, no because he was an explorer and he found this by exploring the land around him. He traveled the world and was exploring around and in 1492 he came across America. (http://www.ibiblio.org/expo/1492.exhibit/c-Columbus/columbus.html). People in this world have jobs to be explorers. They spend their lives exploring different things. By exploring the world you will find new things like land, objects, or even people. Many things are out in the world waiting to be discovered. As people study the past they look back and analyze many of the things that happened. Some of the ways the analyze things is study the grounds of past locations and try to find objects that made lead them to new discoveries. By exploring the time period of The Renaissance we discovered many fabulous pieces of art designed back that. Some of this art is useful today. We have explored the past and have came up with many explanations for things. Because of exploration we have discovered many ancient Renaissance pieces of art. The art from The Renaissance had a lot of meaning. The artist put a lot of work into their art and it all had meaning. It meant something to the artist and by looking at a piece of art you could tell a lot about how the artist was feeling or some of their beliefs. Inn one painting an artist painted their image of hell on one side and one side paradise. In the middle is a group of people following a ritual in a community pool. There is a story behind what hey are doing and behind that picture that the artist is trying to get across to the viewer. Many hidden messages were put in the artwork. (http://ht.ly/1GeOt). Many artist today do the same thing, they will put hidden messages in their artwork for the viewer to interpret. Viewers who look at the painting may interpret the art work completely different from each other and even what the artist was hoping to get out of it. Art can be interpreted in many different ways. By exploring the art we can find these different meanings. That is one way you can explore objects. By exploring these things it can help us interpret things now and in the future. What we know that happened in the past is always helpful knowledge in the present and future.
The use of exploration can help us gain a lot of information and help us learn a lot. We can explore many things like land, people, and objects. Each of these things as its own advantages when it comes to exploring it. In the time of The Renaissance we explore more objects, more specifically art. They are many different pieces of Renaissance art. Each one tells its own story and has its own deeper meaning then what is just painted or drawn on. The artist has the intention of sending a deeper message through his use of art. When we explore this art we learn it’s deeper meanings."Exploration | Define Exploration at Dictionary.com."

ReplyDeleteIn an academic paper, you don't use the word "we" unless you are quoting someone. The reason for this is because you don't necessarily know who your reader is, and therefore the term "we" -- especially when stating an opinion -- can be full of assumptions.
