What I learn, know, and liked

Parthenon
Athen, Greece
447-438 BC
When looking over history in general from different perspectives of people, it has to be where it comes from. Having to learn new ideas of things that don't usually explain before until now, and what's been taught along the way. 

The beginning, a country creating things that would soon exist today, democracy, architecture, and philosophy. One thing to highlight is the architecture in Ancient Greece since it "elaborated on the traditional post and lintel architecture" (Part 1). Since the architecture they created is well-known based on their structures and how it's built before it's in ruins over the years. Also, having to learn more about them in my previous Art History classes on how they go into detail on the work they'd done and, of course, the history goes alongside when looking over the architect of the structures. That being said, what highlights for me when looking at Ancient Greece is the architect since it's been there for a while, even though it's in ruins and that it's still held up till this day.


What I learned when looking at Christianity is how it first came from Judaism since Jews and Hebrews would come up with the concept of having one God and worship him as a ruler of Earth. Also, how Jewish people would still worship him no matter the cause would happen to them over the past 5700 years. Mentioning how "Jesus' message was particularly resonant to the poor and downtrodden and pretty radical in its anti-authoritarian." (4:51-4:52). With how it's the Romans who killed Jesus and not the Jews, resulting in being misleading for most people who were Christians at the moment. Overall, learning about Christianity would be a big understanding since I'm not a Christian myself and how it's been part of my life from the far end, wondering how people who took part in that religion would feel about these fakes about the Jews being the influence to Christian or somewhere along the lines of that statement. 


Temple of Hera II
Paestum, Campania
460-450 BC


What I already knew about Romans is their architecture would influence Ancient Greece since both of these architectures would make a huge impact on the art world and people in general. As mentioned before, I learned this when taking Art History classes talking about the topics at hand. Honestly, I could remember which one it was but I remember being in class and looking over the structures and how they were built. Also, watching videos discussing the architects in Roman being influenced and taken on during their area until nowadays, that all you could see in stands with no roof on top of them. Concluding, what I notice when looking over the Roman era, with its architecture and structure being built during that time, and would influence future architects nowadays thanks to them.
