Powerpoint review

Today we watched the powerpoint and learned where the money came from that Da'vinci got for painting and many other artists.  People woud pay artists for the art supplies, and to paint or sculp their portraits or picture of their choice.  this was a great way to mae money back in the day.  many people would like to show off their art in their grandest rooms.  Even important, famous, and wealthy people did what theu did.  This gave the artist a good reputation as their are paintings by them are on the walls of kings/queens.  anyway time for bed.  Have a good one.

5/20 continued from Friday

1)
Renaissance: The great period of rebirth in art, literature, and learning which also was a  great time of rising for Europe.
Humanism: an intellectual movement that was about human potential and achievements
secular: Not pertaining to church matters or religion (Wordly)
patron: Not pertaining to church matters or religion (Temporal, worldly)
perspective: An artistic technique to make 3-Dimensional on a flat surface
vernacular: Speech of the people
2) Bankers and merchants were becoming wealthy. The individual achievement was what they believed people should believe in.  they were able to support the artists and families
3) Universal men were known as renaissance men.  A young man should know how to be charming, witty, well educated, know how to dance, sing, play music, and write poetry.  this defined the perfect renaissance/universal man.

Rome review

3 Cultures to base Rome:

• Etruscans: Metalworkers, artists, architects.  Virgil's Aeneid, The story of Remus and Romulus.
• Greeks: Many colonies on the Mediterranean
• Latins: came first, settled on the hill of Palestine.
• Lucretia is attacked by the seventh and final king of Rome Tarquin's which really gave him the boot.

Government:

• Democracy: People's assembly and tribunes
• Aristocracy: The Senate = 300 members
• Monarchy: The Consuls
• Tyranny: A mistake Romans did not want to repeat

Test review day

today in class we reviewed for our test on Rome which got moved to Thursday because of Mr. Schick’s outrageously big PowerPoint.... I’m just kidding but it is delayed till Thursday. Today we talked about the constitution and had a small debate about the bakery denying service to the gay couple that wanted a wedding cake.  I think that was the best part of class because I love debate and both sides of the argument were strong but I gotta say the bakery has the right to deny service to whoever they want to deny service to so there is no problem there.  Anyway we have class second to last tomorrow but in that time I hope soldiers don’t come to quarter my home. Haha. Have a good one.
