If you get this twice Ms. Separ Im sorry i wanted to make sure you got it so we dont have a problem like melhman did


Its been a while since the last blog, so Im gonna so my best for this. Today, we took notes on art of the 1450s-1750s. we went through many different regions starting with China. We depicted that the man in the photo was about a high class writer philosopher. We then saw about Japan and the Forbidden city. NIck asked why it was called forbidden. Tyler came back with a remark such as as if the name wasnt obvious enough. we then proceeded to hear about the different types of eunichs that were in the forbidden city. At that point all you heard from the right side of the room was groans and ows. We quickly move off this topic to Louis the 16th and the palace of Versailles. Ms. Separ pointed out how the Japanese and French had the same ruling styles, in that they kept th enobles close to watch and maitain power. Africa was the next style we looked at and saw a woman ruler. The queen of Angolia was show in a portrait and then shown in a warrior pose which is much similar to her natural pose and in her idea of what had to happen to avoid overtaking by the Portugese. Lastly we say about Peter the Great and him on his high horse in front of a large battle much like David said he would like to be portrayed when we started the day by saying how we would like to be painted to be rembered. SO staying with the theme Ill pick david to go next for the blog.
