The Renaissanse, meaning rebirth. That’s our newest unit. It’s actually quite entertaining. For history, that is. The main, driving question for this unit was “How did the Renaissance affect our western worldview?”. We had to answer this in a visual, and a paragraph explaining said visual. But first, we had to research a Thinker, an Artist, and a Scientist or Mathematian. So, I chose:

Lovato Lovati. Mainly because his name sounds like Demi Lovato. But he did some cool things. He invented the barometer. Pretty cool.

Torricelli. Okay this guy also has a cool name. It sounds like some sort of pasta, which is cool. He was a scientist, and invented Torricelli’s law. It’s long and complicated, so I won’t explain it.

Raphael. The artist, not the ninja turtle. He painted some cool things, nothing about turtles, I found to my dissapointment.

So, once we had researched those guys, we had to answer the big question. I made a poster explaining how the Renaissanse influence our western worldview. It looks like this:

Lets do a quick run down of this. So pretty much it’s someone embracing all of the three major things that came out of the Renaissance. Thinkers, Artists and Scientists. But, that’s not all. If you look in the background, you’ll notice that the triangles go from grey to blue, showing that the Renaissanse really brightened up our worldview.

That was a lot of symbolism. And seriousness. I don’t like it.

Aaand the gif isn’t loading. Great. Well, as always…
