How many Baroque memes is TOO many Baroque memes?


Humanitarians, 

YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH. Our new president agrees with me:

So today we discussed Baroque art. We spent the day in the South - Italy & Spain - and discussed the role the Church and the King(s) played in art. We also practiced finding the characteristics in each painting while comparing styles. 
Which was your favorite? Was it Judith Beheading Holofernes?

Was it Las Meninas?


Or perhaps you are a Bernini fan, realizing that he is legit one of the greatest sculptors ever!


But wait, don't decide NOW, tomorrow we will move into the North and look at the Baroque there, perhaps you will find a new favorite. 

Tomorrow, you also have a humanities experience due if you are choosing to do it. We are working on getting all of your grades in, but most of you have a non-100 daily grade, so we highly recommend doing one!  You need to have it turned in before your class starts!!

One last lol Baroque meme before moving on to this day in history:

This day in history:
  • The trial of the "Chicago Eight", a radical antiwar and counterculture activists accused of conspiring to incite riots at the 1969 convention, began. 
  • 1991: Children's author Theodor Seuss Geisel, known as Dr. Seuss, died at age 87.

  • 1996: The United States and the world's other major nuclear powers signed a treaty to end all testing and development of nuclear weapons.

Finally, Happy Eid to all of those celebrating. 

Have a great Thursday!
