The School Athens a mirror of socity




Art is a univarsal language wich many people effectivly know, no matter where you are you can always understand the idea's, thoughts or the event being shown in the painting.The Scool of Athens is a fresco created by Raphael, where he is speaking to us about the acompleshmints of the Renissance. He shows you all of the important people who made the Renissance such and advanced era such as mathematicians, scientists, and philosophers. In the painting they are all doing what the do best studying, teaching, and speaking with one anothe. Not only does this painting show you people who made the Renissance era speacil but it also shows you how people in the Renissance interacted. They shared ideas and thoughts. This painting also shows you acomplishments that have already been made such as Roman Greek acutecure and how the people of the Renissace brought it back. This painting clearly shows you within its fine deataile how the Renissance was a time of change, re-discoving and discovering knowlge.



If I had the lucky chance to place myself as a person in Raphael’s fresco, The School of Athens I chose to be Hypatia of Alexandria. Hypatia was the first women to make great conurbtions to the Renissace. She conturbuted her knowlege about mathematics, philosophy and astronomy. For Hypatia to do this shows how will power her essance to strive and her drive to be the best. However even though Hypatia was being constantly put down buy the church and others for sharing knowlege beacse she was a girl, he work and her drived to learn has inspierd me in many way.I am a person who speaks thier mind when needed, in class when i have a point to make i say it, i also have a passion to learn more than what we learn in class. When i do this I like to think i am a risk taker and a person who will do what ever they can to get to the finish line. Hypatia, was a great risk taker when she was sharing her ideas in the Renissace knowing all the factors that played against her.Just like Hypatia i to have made contubutions to the world they might not be as big as her but I try and still am to make the world a better place. I truly believe a women like Hypatia is a role modle for young and old women she gives us women a chance of hope that yes we have a say in our world and men are not the only ones.
