Answer:

The convention of representation depicted in the Lascaux cave paintings where the heads of the animals are in profile but their horns are facing forward is called the twisted perspective.

Explanation:

The Lascaux cave paintings (c. 17,000 BCE) are remarkable because the animals are depicted with a lot of vitality and detail for the time period. The Timeline of Art History on the MET's website describes cave paintings and engraving appearing on the ceilings or walls of caves as “parietal” art. It is likely the caves were more for ceremonial purposes than for providing a group or community shelter. At Lascaux, the artists used outlines for precision and detailed them with soft colorings that they likely blew onto the depictions using a straw-like tool. The animals at Lascaux are typically painted with a slight twisted perspective. This gives the drawing more visual power and sense of the animal in movement because their horns or antlers are painted from the front, but their heads are in profile. Scholars who have analyzed the paintings have found that this twisted perspective is also used in artwork originating from Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Further explanation

The science of perspective is the study of drawing objects that are volume, filled, bear / hollow in the field of drawing. The picture looks like an actual object so that objects have the impression of large-small, far-near, deep-shallow, light-dark, high-short and others.

Twisted perspective is when an animal or human profile is displayed while other parts of the same object are displayed frontally.

this is found in prehistoric art, where bulls drawn on the wall have their bodies oriented to the right while their heads are turned left or toward the audience. You can find it in Mesopotamian art or Ancient Egyptian art.

artists try to express three-dimensional forms into two-dimensional fields, consciously or unconsciously they have been involved with some sort of 'perspective'. Realist schools were first introduced into drawings or paintings by the use of shadows in Pericles' time. Shortening the perspective line and the emitting of light, some of it was known around the 4th century BC and the fragments of this work did not go away with the destruction of Pompeii.

The development of perspective as science began in the Renaissance. Paolo Uccello has spent so much time learning it. The work was then followed by others. Pioneered by Fillipo Brunelleschi, a builder, continued further by Leona Battista Alberti, an architect.

What are the similarities and differences in the core beliefs of Hinduism and Buddhism?
satela [25.4K]
The Similarities, <span>Both Buddhism and Hinduism share a strong belief in reincarnation; an endless cycle of births and deaths that must be broken.Attachment to people, places, things, or even ideas can lead to suffering; therefore, it’s best to practice non-attachment in the sense that you’re more anchored in your center than in outer circumstances.Meditation is highly regarded in both religions, because they believe real truth and spirituality is inward, not outward.Both believe that everything on the planet will eventually achieve enlightenment and liberation.</span>The

Differences, <span>Buddhism has no “rituals” in the traditional sense. They don’t do elaborate prostrations or pujas (prayer rituals). There are not even  priests, really; though they do have senior monastics.Hinduism has an entrenched caste system (though it can be argued it was never meant to be that way), where as Buddhism does not. Buddhists believe that anyone can achieve enlightenment, where Hindus believe you must be of the Brahmin caste.In many sects of Hinduism, it’s believed extreme asceticism is the ideal spiritual life. In Buddhism, the middle path is best. Neither extreme poverty nor extreme wealth are considered to be ideal.Traditional Buddhism has no gods, where as Hinduism has literally endless variations and incarnations of gods and goddesses. Although many Hindus believe Buddha is an incarnation of Vishnu, Buddhists do not usually share that view.<span>Buddha taught that the original Vedas (ancient religious texts) were originally sacred until animal sacrifice was introduced.</span></span>

McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all out battle.” How did he characterize
sp2606 [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

McCarthy noted that “we are engaged in a final, all-out battle.” How did he characterize the two sides in the “battle”?

What Republican Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy did was to confront the American People by accusing that several members of the federal government and the US military had ties with Communists or were Communists.

Why do you think he portrayed the Cold War in this manner?

I think he was a cruel person with peculiar political ambitions because he did accuse people but never present a valid or serious argument or piece of evidence to support his claims. He only accused people, affecting their public image and reputation. And that was so wrong. However, he scared and alienated many citizens and made the federal government investigate the alleged cases.
