    Hi, 123habiab12!

    Yes, this isn't the sort of site where people can simply post homework questions and expect to get the answers. We all give freely of our time here.

    If we simply gave the answers without some sort of initiative from the person asking them to come up with the answers themselves, how would that be helping that person to learn?

    I would love to discuss with you about some of the artistic oriented questions that you've posted on a number of threads. What you've posted on different threads, is exactly the type of field in which I'm been very involved for a number of decades. However, you're going to need to show me that you've already done some work to come up with the answers yourself, then I would be happy to help you in discussing the answers at which you arrived.

    Thanks!
