What I have learned in USA

First of all my name is Angelica, I am from Brazil and I am currently living in USA, North Carolina, my life is all about learning! My first language is Portuguese. English is a new language to me. So, please sorry for my mistakes.

You are probably asking why she is writing in English, if she is Brazilian. The answer is simple, I want and I definitely need to practice my English writing skills. So here we go!

1- Greek theories were amazing, but not really perfect!

Some people who considerer themselves very smart talk about Greek art and philosophies like they were beyond everything. What to tell about the fact that around 500 BCE in Athens slavery was considered natural and women were excluded from political life? In fact Geek culture had developed many theories very interest about education, social, political relations, and aesthetic pleasure, but they were not perfect!

2-Nike - I am not talking about shoes!

Nike was goddess of victory. The relief of Nike, from the balustrade of the temple of Nike is an example of Phidian style in Greek art.
