Classroom Discussion # 4

In class on wednesday we reviewed the renaissance period all the way to post modernism and there was a lot of things that I saw that were interesting. I thought it was cool how we went all that history so fast because I think by doing so I was able to see the difference between the ages and how much things stayed the same, evolved and completely changed like the mediums used, styles and interests of the people at certain time periods. Even today there is so much interest in the past and we know so much and love learning about how the people thought back then. Which is what this humanities class is all about. It seemed to me though after seeing a lot of the slides and having things explained to me that as time has gone on things have got a lot more complicated and more chaotic. For example the futurism movie. That was just creepy and i'm interested to review and learn a little more about dadaism. There's got to be a good reason for someone to take a picture of an upside down urinal and call it art. I'm glad I am able to learn about all this kind of stuff because I didn't know much about it before and it's cool to see how people thought in the past and how all of that affects us today.
