My Renaissance Influence Poster, Not Yours

ethand on

So you probably have no clue what “Renaissance Influence Poster” is, let me explain. So in class my teacher was teaching us about the Renaissance and we talked about how things back then influenced our worldview today. So now she wants us to make a poster that explains some of the things that we learned that influence today’s worldview  with using the least amount of words possible. My first draft was horrible it just was horrible that’s like the only word that can describe it. I just could not think about what to do. Even though it’s ugly and horrible I’m going to show it to you and you can try and make some sense into it.

I don't know if I still understand it.
I don’t know if I still understand it.

See it’s horrible. Anyways I had to try again and this time I had a bit of a better idea of what I wanted to do. It took me a while to figure it out and find all of the right parts for it but I think it looks a lot better, you may not and if you send a mean comment that will make me sad😢😥😰, but what can you do when you live in a shoe😉. Anyways I tried and tried and I think I perfected, maybe?

The better draft, I think?
The better draft, I think?

So let me explain the picture to you:

The line on the bottom is a timeline explain how gender equality has changed from the Renaissance to the Future, you will notice that underneath “Now” it has an equal sign and crocodile thingy pointing toward Male, which is because I think that some people still don’t treat females eqauly still in this world. For all I know in the far future females could take over and it would be the complete opposite? The light bulb symbolizes how people have always been coming up with great ideas that are completly original. The books state ever since the Renaissance people have studied hard and have tried to become the best they can be.

To me I think this is good if you think I could have added something else let me know.

Now remember This is my poster, not yours, so don’t take credit for it.

My Religion Experience, Not Yours

ethand on

To start off in class we got to go to a bunch of different religious places such as a two Budhist temples, a Sikh temple and a Hindu temple.My class ended up going to more but I was on a band trip. Anyways these places were quite interesting and we first stopped at a Buddhists temple. In my opinion it was the better Budhist temple because it felt more authentic. When we first got there we were greeted by a monk and he told us to sit down in this room that had some of the most detailed art I’ve ever seen. There was a giant gold Buddha not a small one a giant one.

(Sorry it’s sideways)

That picture was takin from like, thirty feet away maybe more. My jaw dropped when I walked in there. The monk talked to us about most of the basics in their religion and why he became a monk.

The next Budhist temple we went to was more hands on and we did more things. I believe that we prayed 2 or 3 times in different rooms and their temple was more of temple but didn’t go to the same extent inside for detail but it was still pretty amazing.

Actually I think we stopped at a Hindu temple. Anyways the Hindu temple was pretty cool. First we went upstairs and got to see these cool statues that were sitting out in this room. The person who was giving the tour showed us what everything was for and everything symbolized. It was all quite interesting.

The last place we went to was a Sikh temple and one of my favourite parts about Sikh temples is that they serve food there. When we got there the outside was interesting and very cool, it had this cool elephant fountain outside.

(The Picture of the temple it self had my finger over it sorry)

First we had to cover our heads with these napkin like things. Then we went and ate at the cafeteria and ate vegetarian Indian food. Some of it was quite good other parts weren’t as good. After we were done eating we went into this giant prayer room that had a couple people in it and we all got in a line got down on our knees and touched our head to the ground and went and sat down. Then they handed out candy and we went upstairs but we weren’t alowed to eat the candy and we had to put it in our pockets and of course we were sitting down and I was wearing jeans so it was almost impossible to get it into my pocket. She told us things about Sikh religion and asked things if we knew them and she was surprised on how much we knew. After we were done there we left and went back to the school and left at 3:00.

That was my Religon experience,not yours

(Sorry I didn’t have that many pictures, they didn’t save)
