Western Civ

Yesterday in class we didn't do much. We went over one of are old test that we had.  I got a 78% o it so I think I did ok on it.  After that we took the test that we would of took if we would of voted to have a test Friday.  It was that hard but I didn't want to risk having a test and the failing it and my C go down.  After we finished it you gave us the answers so we can review for the exam.  I really want to get my grade up for western civ because it is at a 79.12% and I really want a B so I can get all B's on my report card.

Today in class we decided not to have the test and to do book work to try and bring are grades up. Questions  Renaissance - rebirth/ refers to are vital of art and learning. Humanism - an intellectual movement that focused on human potential and achievements. Secular - means wordy Patrons - A person who spent huge amounts of money for art. Perspective - shows three dimensions on a flat surface. Vernacular - Native language, instead of latin Renaissance man - All educated people were expected to create art. charming, witty, and educated in the classics. Renaissance women - should be upper class women also should know classics and be charming but not expected to seek fame. Overseas trade, surged by the crusades led to growth of large-state in norther Italy. Church leaders became more worldly. by having portraits painted or by donating art to the city/ public squares.

Yesterday in class we went over the power point and had someone in the class take notes on the board and we would all copy it.  I found it a lot more interesting then the other power points we have been doing because it talked about how they started to care about art, mathematics, and literature again. And also starting to look back at Rome and Greece and see how they did things.  It talked about a lady that was very Richard care about art and a lot of other things.  She would pay the artist to paint her or paint something she would want and there would put her in the back round.  For examples she asked Leonardo da Vinci t paint the nativity and put her in the back ground. If it wasn't for her we would not ave know a lot of these artist would have even existed.

Today are class was shortened to 40 minutes because of the assembly. So when we came in we took the test right a way so we would have time to finish it. I did not think the test was that bad.  As long as you studied the power points and listen to what he said last class when he told us what would be on the test you probably did fine.  Also this is the first class I have been to today because I had to get my braces off so I had time in the morning to study Again and make sure I got everything right. After that we have to read birth of the renaissance and Luther leads the reformation.  You didn't write on the board that we need to take notes so I didn't. It also says that are last test will be on those 2 sections.
