Blog 4: Renaissance - A rebirth.

This period is very important to us. This is the most challenging way by means of paintings, sculpture and architecture. The superiority of the Greek and Roman period was originated by the belief of the Europeans. The Renaissance was marked by an intense interest in the visible world and in the knowledge derived from concrete sensory experience.

Progress is made realistic through paintings and sculptures. In architectural forms, like the cathedrals, the principles of geometry and mathematics are applied. The sculpture for example, the David of Donatello, Michelangelo, Verrocchio and Donatello are being compared. The perfect word for this is the competition. This is the trademark of the Renaissance period.

For me, the time of this period is very good because the growth of arts in this period grows is rapid. Renaissance arts is important on what we the generation of arts today.

Blog 3: The Truth (Christian Art)

How Jesus Christ is began? Why there are many evidences in the first century that explains how Jesus Christ lives? The main peak of this is the Bible. Without the bible there are no paintings, sculptures and architectural forms in the past Rome and in the present, how we Christians today.

Jesus Christ is true. That’s the answer why the early Christians promote in any terms of Christianity in beginning. Even when Emperor Constantine is not yet became an emperor. The Christians kept their loyalty as Christians by making small chapels, catacombs and as well as Cathedrals. They treated as barbaric or cult members because early emperors want all the people to be treated emperors as Gods. But when Constantine became an emperor, he legalized the religion of Christian. Then so it began. They build different Cathedrals in Rome. Different styles and arts are hooked on this.

                As to present the different evidences like Cathedrals is preserved. It is very important to us not to ignore or forget how our religion began. Thanks to Constantine, thanks to early Christian people, and also thanks to all evidences that Jesus Christ is true. We must not forget them.

                In any matter, I have born as a pure Christian. But getting straight I want to change my religion to Iglesia Ni Cristo. Why? Because they are so disciplined and determined to their religion comparing to Christian religion. I think most of my friends know me as a “standard” person. But in this case I would not rely on that. I don’t care what they say; it’s a free country in any way. I just have to prove that I fit in this religion. Now I am taking the “Doktrina” process (the first way to be an Iglesia Ni Cristo).

                Just depend on the bible. Follow what it says. Even you are not always attending to church. Pray and always thank God on what you wish and what you receive. Thank you.

Blog 2: Classical Art

Classic, Classical, and Classicism, terms describing the style, historical period, or quality of a work of art, literature, or music; the terms originally were associated with the aesthetic achievements of the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. However, they have come to have much broader meanings and applications.

Greek Gods has the most roles to this period; they applied in paintings and architectural forms. I am very amazed to the Colloseum in Rome. It can accommodate 50,000 people. If you carefully think on it, that time is 1^st century. What medium did they use? How they are made? Did they have machineries big trucks to carry the stones? It is really amazing.

This period is the great foundation of Greek art. I hope that art forms in this period are well preserve.
