Did men drown during the Renaissance? Because I’m drowning now.

For the past while we have been studying the renaissance. We’ve looked at novels, art, great men, and what those men have done. Because the world then was filled with great men like Leonardo da Vinci and all those other people that did cool stuff. 
So the big thing at the end of it all was that we had to fill out a triple Venn diagram comparing and contrasting an artist, scientist and thinker. 

Now, i chose Baccio D’Angelo, Marcus Antonius Antimachus and Jean Baptise Denys

The other piece of work we had to do was to draw a picture that described what parts of the renaissance have had an affect on modern worldview. Now, mine may be simple, but sometimes, simple is best. 


Art led to the great works of today, viewed by the masses

Nobles lead to business leaders, who hold economic power over others.

Trade led to today’s economy, resulting in people being able to provide for themselves.

Scientific process led to mathematics, the sciences and technology.

These are what is represented.

Thank you Very much for reading,  and I’ll see you again. (Probably)

Temple Trips and Sore Butts

Hi, this is Marcus. And the blog is about the field studies that we’ve gone through In the past little while.

The first of of the Visits was to a Hindu temple.


When we walked in, the y told us that we had to take off our shoes to go in. Then we proceeded to go to the prayer room, where the woman that was guiding us told us about the gods of the Hindu religion. There were a lot of them, so I can’t remember all of them, but they were cool. They gave us some of the food that they use in offerings, and that was it. But it was fun.

The next temple we went to was a Buddhist temple, where, same as the last one, we had to take our shoes off. It was very big and decorated, with a big Buddha sitting in the back. The priest that was guiding us told us about Buddhism and Buddha, which was cool, then we got to take pictures, and then we left.
