In 1498 he moved to rome where he got commissioned by Jean Bilhères de La Graulas, a representative of the French King Charles VIII to the pope, where he did the statue pieta.

The Types of Artworks A common Islamic art masterpiece is the use of tiles, more so the Iranian Star-shaped tile (Necipoglu 174). This is a 15th century artwork, probably made during the time when the Timurids ruled over Iran (Doak 136). This star-like tile; as illustrated in Figure I below, has a decoration of geometric shapes leaves and flowers on it, with a major flower being positioned right at the center of the tile. These tiles were made to cover outer walls of buildings, with designs and colorful patterns, to make such structures more beautiful. The tiles were fitted together using mortar on the walls of structures to create a mosaic design that adorned the outer walls of the structures.

“How did your experiences at The Manning School and the values learned at the school impact your life and education?”

The comparison between a primary school classroom and the Ragged school museum is that they both promote Auditory/verbal Learning. Similarly within the primary classroom where the teacher is talking at the children giving out information and instructions this approach is also used at the ragged school museum where the tour guide comes in to talk about the history of Victorian children. According to Donohue and Mototsune, (2012) “Talk is not only beneficial, but also essential for certain skills to develop”. This relates to children's learning at both these settings, when the teacher and the tour guide are verbally talking, the children are able to take in and absorb this knowledge. If children are unsure about anything they can ask questions

He was also interested in engineering, architecture, and art. Like other craftsmen of his era, he traveled in Greece and Rome studying the great buildings of ancient times (“Flash Focus: Italy in the Renaissance,” 3). He explored buildings like the Parthenon in Greece and the Colosseum in Rome to learn from the masters of the past, rediscovering what was lost from years before, but the Dome of the Florence Cathedral was a new idea.

During fourth period on Thursday, January 28th I observed Dee Hertzog’s Honors Geometry class. At the beginning of class Dee went around checking to see which students completed their previous night’s homework assignment. While this was going on students were expected to work on the warm-up problems that were projected on the Promethean Board. After Dee was done checking in with each student on the homework assignment she asked two students to work together to put their work and answers to the warm-up problems on the board. This warm-up was then reviewed with the class. While reviewing the warm-up problem, Dee activated prior knowledge by asking the students if they remembered using the Pythagorean Theorem. She asked the students what they

Perhaps the key moment that sparked Palladio's career was being employed by the Humanist poet and scholar, Gian Giorgio Trissino, from 1538 to 1539. Trissino became his mentor and provided him with this humanist education. This contributed greatly in giving Palladio an education in architecture.
