Humanistic Tradition Conclusion

For my last blog I figured that I would conclude by talking about some of the things that I have learned throughout the course. We began by talking about the Renaissance and then kept going until we reached the Enlightenment. During this time we talked about the difference in painters, scientists, and musicians of the time. We also explored many works by many different people that explored the same thing. In one book we learned about all the different things that go into painting, and what the author actually thought about painting. In another we learned about what it would take to be a prince. Another thing that we did throughout the semester was analyze different works of art. One of the things that helped me learn the most was the critiques that we did throughout the semester. In the critiques we had to put what we learned in the class and use it to judge a cultural event that we attended. This helped me to use what I had learned in an everyday situation.
