  • Powerpoint Guidance
    A Londoner Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in April 1775 in Covent Garden, London. His father, William, was a barber and wigmaker and his mother was called Mary. Joseph’s father was supportive of his artistic talent and would display his son’s early drawings in his shop. Joseph Turner kept his Cockney accent all his life. Did You Know? The Royal Academy of Arts Joseph attended the Royal Academy of Arts school in 1789 and was accepted into the academy the following year. Although Joseph was interested in architecture, he was advised to carry on painting watercolour pictures. He sold some of his watercolour paintings to help pay for his fees at the Academy. Joseph Turner was only fourteen years old when he started studying at Did You Know? the Academy. Capturing the Light Joseph Turner began sketching outside, using these as a basis for his paintings, indoors. This led to him touring the country during the summer and working in the studio in the winter. He became known as “The Painter of Light”. In 1796, he exhibited his first painting in oils: ‘Fishermen at Sea’. As you look at the following paintings, think about why Turner was known as Did You Know? “The Painter of Light”. Fishermen at Sea What are your thoughts about this painting? Painter of Light One of Joseph Turner’s most famous paintings is called ‘The Fighting Temeraire Tugged to Her Last Berth to Be Broken Up’ and is on display at the National Gallery in London.

  • {PDF EPUB} Dido Doomed Queen of Carthage by Ingrid De Haas the Story of Dido, Queen of Ancient Carthage
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Dido Doomed Queen of Carthage by Ingrid de Haas The Story of Dido, Queen of Ancient Carthage. Dido (pronounced Die-doh) is known best as the mythical queen of Carthage who died for love of Aeneas, according to "The Aeneid" of the Roman poet Vergil (Virgil). Dido was the daughter of the king of the Phoenician city-state of Tyre, and her Phoenician name was Elissa, but she was later given the name Dido, meaning "wanderer." Dido was also the name of a Phoenician deity named Astarte. Who Wrote About Dido? The earliest known person to have written about Dido was the Greek historian Timaeus of Taormina (c. 350–260 BCE). While Timaeus's writing did not survive, he is referenced by later writers. According to Timaeus, Dido founded Carthage in either 814 or 813 BCE. A later source is the first-century historian Josephus whose writings mention an Elissa who founded Carthage during the rule of Menandros of Ephesus. Most people, however, know about the story of Dido from its telling in Viergil’s Aeneid . The Legend. Dido was the daughter of the Tyrian king Mutto (also known as Belus or Agenor), and she was the sister of Pygmalion, who succeeded to the throne of Tyre when his father died. Dido married Acerbas (or Sychaeus), who was a priest of Hercules and a man of immense wealth; Pygmalion, jealous of his treasures, murdered him. The ghost of Sychaeus revealed to Dido what had happened to him and told her where he had hidden his treasure.
