By the 1920s and 1930s, Halloween had become a secular, but community-centered holiday, with parades and town-wide parties as the featured entertainment. Despite the best efforts of many schools and communities, vandalism began to plague Halloween celebrations in many communities during this time. By the 1950s, town leaders had successfully limited vandalism and Halloween had evolved into a holiday directed mainly at the young. Due to the high numbers of young children during the fifties baby boom, parties moved from town civic centers into the classroom or home, where they could be more easily accommodated. Between 1920 and 1950, the centuries-old practice of trick-or-treating was also revived. Trick-or-treating was a relatively inexpensive way for an entire community to share the Halloween celebration.

Today, Americans spend an estimated $6 billion annually on Halloween, making it the country’s second largest commercial…

The inside of the mask shows a man sitting with his legs bent in front of him while his arms are open and stretched to his sides. His facial features consist of sharp cheekbones, a wide triangular nose, a goat-t, a thin mustache, and thick dark eyebrows. The subject's facial hair is made up of black pigment. His eyes are peering up and his thick red lips are in a whistling position with a little tube in its mouth with three strings attached to it- one on both sides and one on the bottom. The strings on his left and right attach from his mouth to his arms. The bottom string attaches to the middle of his legs, just below the knees. It looks as though there is a harness or support cushion of some sort around the figure's neck but this is not clear. Perhaps it functions as a filler so there is not a lot of empty space (www.freespiritgallery.ca).…
In the late 19th centuries, because of the discovery of spectrum in physics, many artists change their artistic expression from color harmony to visual harmonic, and they pay more attention to the expression of light and color. Since then, Impressionism affected the whole of Europe and became the start of Western modern painting. Impressionist is most attention on the light, and they mixed the scientific concepts into painting, it is a transformation and innovation of traditional concept.

Name 3simplicity of an African ritual mask. The gaze of the black deformed eyes is directed into the distance or deeply inside of herself.

The sharp geometry of the eyes, nose, mouth, and the unrefined ear iscontrasted with a more rounded outline of her broad body that leans forward. The bulkiness of her silhouette is emphasized with a loose coat and the large hands that rest heavily on the folds of her baggy skirt. The face is large, rigorous and still, whereas the body and the hands suggest a readiness to move. The face, the hands, and the scarf stand out with their light colorand create a certain spatial tension. A warm blurred russet background somehow animates…
