Of course, this is a picture of the Mona Lisa. The painting was done by Leonardo Divinci. The background to this picture is a regular painting that Divinci did. When he finished the background, he just painted the Mona Lisa on top of the background painting at another place.

This is a picture of the Vitruvian man. It was painted by Leonardo Divinci. He was always interested in the human body and how our muscels worked. This is a good example of his theories.

This is a picture of the Pieta. It is a sculpture that was made by Michelangelo. It is made of marble. It represents Mary holding Jesus after he was taken down from the cross. This statue is now at the heart of the Roman Catholic Church in St. Peter's Basilica.

In Class Today...

In class today, we took some more notes on Martin Luther. We also took notes on our 95These about John Carroll. We had a lot of ideas and putting them up might change the school.......forever!

Homework...

5 things I would change about JC.

1. We don't use computers- there are so many things that can go wrong with them (crashing!)

2. We should be able to wear whatever type of undershirt we want to. It doesn't matter what is under our school shirts just as long as we wear them.

3. We need more off mods. One off mod in a day is NOT enough!

4. The new advisories aren't such a good idea. Mainly the only thing I don't like is that I might not know anyone in my advisatory. We should be able to have at least one person we know in them.

5. We should be able to wear sweatpants when we get out-of-uniform days. Jeans are so uncomfortable, DON'T YOU WANT US TO BE HAPPY!:(

Today in class we went over our essays that we wrote when we took the ancient Greece Quiz. We also went over a little bit of the Medival Period time which is what we are going to be working on next.

middle ages

The period of the Middle Ages were part of the European history from the 5th century to the 15th century. They used the stone archtitecture for their buildings and their art was based on Christiananity. The breakdown of Rome signifies the beginning of the middle ages. The Hundred Year's War signifies the end of the middle ages. The last emperor of the Western Roman Empire was Romulus Agustus.
In class today we went over the tests that we had taken. We also took a test that wasn't graded on the Middle Ages. It is the next chapter that we are going to be working on.
