Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-27 00:00:00 David Bloomquist In the first part(1-100) of 1,000 years 1,000 people, it is mainly about the unsung and underappreciated. This part has the most recognizable people from Johannes Gutenberg to Henry the VIII of England. There are mostly scientists, and artists that are extremely famous for their pieces of art and their discoveries which have inspired many back then and still to this day. These people are the beginning behind everything. The others that come after build on top of what they've done, improving the ideas and thoughts for the better. The people that interested me the most were: Pablo Picasso, because he was an art colossus who was said to have worked twenty thousand works that included everything you could imagine, which shows his amazing and endless creativity to then be put into wonderful works of art. I also liked Joseph Marie Jacquard, and her four thousand year ago invention of the loom. Weaving back then was a very slow and painful process because everything was handmade. Joseph wanted to create a machine in order to make weaving much safer and faster. In conclusion, these two people put a lot of thought and effort into doing what they do which is why they inspired me the most in part one(1-100).
