What Is The School Of Athens

The art piece that I selected for my analysis is called The Triumph of Divine Love by Peter Paul Rubens. The artwork is an oil painting on canvas, circa 1625. This piece of art was commission by Isabella Clara Eugenia, Infanta of Spain and Portugal. The Triumph of Divine Love was one of eleven art pieces in a series portraying the Eucharist cycle, an important issue in the Catholic-Protestant strife. Its purpose was to aid in the Catholic Reformation and the artwork was to be displayed at the Convento de las Descalzas Reales in Madrid. (Ringling Museum n.d.)

I chose Jose Clemente Orozco’s fresco, Gods of the Modern World, which was made in 1932. This piece shows a skeleton propped upon books, giving birth to yet another skeleton (baby) whom is wearing a graduate cap. Behind this scene, there are various graduates lined up in their different attire, all with straight-faced skulls as heads. This particular piece was aesthetically unpleasing to me as it was very dark with the color scheme and also depicted the dead world with the use of the skeletons. It also made me quite uncomfortable how there were little skeletons in glass bottles just lying around in the books below the birthing skeleton. Yet, I do agree with the message that he was portraying with these images. Sometimes I do feel like the university world is completely separate from the real world and there is a level of restraint on creative

The Painting I chose is called “Mixtec Culture.” And it was painted by Diego Rivera in 1942, Mexico. It’s a Fresco style painting, which is “a wall painting technique that has been used for large scale murals since ancient times” (Getlein 159). This entire painting is an homage to the culture of Mexico, specifically the Mixtec people, and that’s what I love about it. The Mixtec people were renowned for their artwork so it’s fitting that Rivera depicts a peaceful community of artists such as mask and jewelry makers. This painting celebrates the artistic culture of the Mixtec people and that theme is directly linked to the political influences of the time, “Mexican government commissioned artists to create murals about Mexico itself- the glories

Raphael’s “School of Athens” fresco is one of the four frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura , in the Vatican. The walls are covered with four different scenes, each depicting a different theme. The School of Athens represents Philosophy. The techniques and figures used in the fresco not only pay homage to Raphael’s influences, but are also a presentation of the skills acquired from each. Almost as though he was submitting it for approval. As Raphael traveled throughout Italy, he formed relationships with, and learned a great deal from the masters of the age. In the School of Athens, Raphael depicts his teachers and influences in disguise and presents the skills learned from each. It is because of these influences and the creativity of

Michelangelo is probably the most well-known painter of all time. He did works that none have been able to accomplish. He had artistic talent in almost every area of study. He could paint the most complicated and difficult tasks, an example: painting a ceiling with great detail and story. The ceiling of the system chapel in part shows the separation between God and man as it shows Adam’s arm and finger stretching out to touch God’s. The Greek’s muscular form makes a comeback in this era also, as can be seen through both the Sistine chapel as well as the statue of David. Another popular painter of the time period was Raphael. One of Raphael’s most famous and well known paintings is the School of Athens, which depicts many popular philosophers of that day, as well as past popular philosophical

The first piece I am focusing on is entitled The Death of Socrates. It is painted with oil on canvas by a French artist named Jacques Louis David in 1787. This image depicts the true story of the trial of Socrates. Socrates was an Athenian philosopher and teacher who constantly challenged the beliefs and politics of his state. He sought to teach the youth of Athens his methods of philosophy and politics. In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of impiety (specifically not believing in the gods that Athens believed in) and corruption of youth. The jury of Athens decided that Socrates was guilty of

The city of Athens is the capital city of Greece and is also Greece’s largest city. The city is full of rich history dating back to 3000 B.C and still stands to this very day. Athens is full of amazing archeological landmarks, beautiful views of the mountains and oceans. Many people visit Athens or Greece in general for the history that it holds. Athens, with many of the historical sites still standing, shows the ability of the ancient athenian people to make long lasting builds to stand against time itself.

Throughout this section I was exposed to what it was like to live during ancient times. Something that stood out to me was that Athens had the first democracy, the form of government we use today in the United States. It’s amazing to me, to see once again how the past has shaped our future. Luckily, not everything is the same as it was in the past and the world has further progressed as, in Athens women were not treated as equal to men and slaves were used.

Raphael painted the School of Athens in 1509–1511. The School of Athens includes all the greatest mathematicians, philosophers and scientists gathered together and sharing their theories with one another. It is important to note that that each of these people pictured in Raphael’s painting all lived at different times than one another. Raphael's painting “School of Athens” was not an actual school instead it was to represent the best of the best of the world’s great thinkers. In the center of the painting is Aristotle and Plato; they both had huge roles in Western thinking while also being very distinctly different in their philosophies. The idea behind Raphael's painting was to bring the ideas of everyone into one accord. The painting shows

A) I see people, artists and scholars, standing, sitting, and lying in the hallways either drawing or talking to each other. This piece of art have the colors: red, orange, yellow, blue, green, bronze, white, black, and gray. It uses natural colors, which makes the picture look mild. The lines in the foreground are very sharp, however, the other parts are soft.

For this assignment, I actually found this somewhat difficult to fully observe and make a full analysis based on what I saw for a period of time. Specifically, my experiment was conducted in Athens, Georgia where I found a very diverse population ranging from fraternity and sorority college students to public housing on the outskirts of downtown Athens. This general location has every type of social system and research data depends significantly on time and place of where it’s oversaw. In my observation, I came across two individuals that played different roles within society in downtown Athens where they are both accepted by society, but have a different outcome.

Every school has its own story to tell. The context in which teaching and learning takes place influences the processes and procedures by which the school makes decisions around curriculum, instruction, and assessment. The context also impacts the way a school stays faithful to its vision. Many factors contribute to the overall narrative such as an identification of stakeholders, a description of stakeholder engagement, the trends and issues affecting the school, and the kinds of programs and services that a school implements to support student learning.

Athens’ history dates back longer than any other European city. Located in Greece, Athens has been able to convert to the modern ways of the world while maintaining its ancient atmosphere. Athens is assumed to have begun as a small Neolithic hill-fort on top of Acropolis sometime in the third millennium BC, and the city today has come a long way by building a very successful society with over five million residents. In the beginning, the geographic location and climate played a role in why people chose to live here, but today people travel from all over the world to witness the rich history of the city for themselves. Over time, Athens contributed in huge ways to the world’s heritage, and it became the leading
