The man that is close to me

If I was in the painting'The School of Athens', Iwould be the Greek scholar Pythagoras used to meet in secret to discuss mathematical riddles. The Greek philosopher Pythagoras lived and taught about change, the topic of the Metamorphoses. He was though to have taught the second king of Rome, Numa. He was studying math but at the same time, he was reading a lot of books. I like to read as well, but I don't like math that much. So I would like to read a lot of books and study math and get more closer to this man.

How can art be a mirror of society??

How can art be a mirror of society? This question can be answered by the painting "The School of Athens". As you can see in the picture, there are men and women that are teaching. By showing this, you can say that from this time of Renaissance, women were starting to have the same education as men do. Another thing you can say is that the colors that are used. In this painting, Raphael is using all kinds of different colors and he is making a balance of the colors. In the painting, there is a dome shape on the top, so you can tell that this painting is from the time of Renaissance. By using a lot of different techniques, you can tell when it was painted, and you can tell that art is a mirror of society.

Lights and Shadows that are shown

Vermeer is a very famous painter by the lights and the shadows that he make. As you can see in the painting, the light is very realistic. It looks like that the sun is really shining on to the characters. The light is coming from the left side, and it tells us that it is in the morning. The story that is told in this picture is that, there is a lady that is playing her interment then she gets interrupted by her maid, and gets a letter. She goes "Whats this?"
She gets a letter in the morning, so it is telling that the letter is a good news and not a bad news. The lights and shadow that he makes can tell what is going to happen, is it a good or bad news, and when the time is.
You can tell that this is a Renaissance picture because, the painting that is shown is using oil painting, and the cloths that they are wearing is not what we wear today.
