Learning Profile

1. I learn best through movement so I am able to understand what the person s trying to tell me. When I'm relaxed I am able to understad what I am able to do on the task on hand. When I'm given step by step task or instructions I will skim the unimportant parts but read the parts which are most important. And i like to know what the end result will look like at the end.
2. I need to see the whole three-dimensional perspective. Make sure not to get to stressed so I don't feel clumsy and get stuck. And make sure i can listen and remember information given when i'm understress.
3. The strategies that would help me in my learning is an integrative balance of art, music, movement and interpersonal skills combined. Activities which help my brain. I should sit in the front at the left handed side so can use my left eye to access most of the information.
4. I would like my teachers to know that I try to study as much as I can so I am able to understand as much but not a lot of information gets through what I read.

Ethnocentrism Paragraph

When the British came to colonize Australia, they looked at the way the Aboriginals lived in an ethnocentric manner causing conflict between the two cultures. The British viewed the First Australian as savage, wild, uneducated, uncivil zed and also thought that they should be gotten rid off. Such views of the First Australians showed the ethnocentrism of the British were because the ways of the First Australians were different to the British, they were seen as inhuman, uncivilized, foreign, wrong and also labeling First Australians as less than keeps the British superior and the First Australians inferior. When the British came to Australia they spread a disease called small pox trough out Australia which made a lot of Aboriginals sick and made many die. The British also started fighting for land against other tribes in Australia because they wanted to expand their colonise and wanted to increase they’re farm so they were able to grow the right crops the food they like to eat. Because of the ethnocentrism between the British and the Aboriginals it led to many people dying and made the British view the Aboriginals as lesser people to the British, which made the British to invade many parts of the East side of Australia causing many wars between them and many other Aboriginal tribes.

Julius Caesar Duet Performance Assessment

Context: Caesar is talking to Decius about why he shouldn't go to the capitol and Decius is persuading to Caesar for him to go to the capitol so the conspirators plan will succeed.

This passage is about Calpurnia telling Caesar about her dream and how he shouldn't go to the senate because she fears he will die, so he sends a servent to ask the priest to make a sacrifies to tell the what is going to happen. And then Caesar agrees to Calpurnia and say's he will not go. But Decius enters to take Caesar to the capitol and Caesar says no to the go to the capitol. Then Decius starts to persuade Caesar to go by twisting Calpurnia's dream which then makes Caesar thinking for him to go to the Capitol.

Decius Brutus: Caesar, all hail! good morrow, worthy Caesar:
I come to fetch you to the senate-house.

Caesar: And you are come in very happy time,
To bear my greeting to the senators
And tell them that I will not come to-day:
Cannot, is false, and that I dare not, falser:
I will not come to-day: tell them so, Decius.

Caesar: Shall Caesar send a lie?
Have I in conquest stretch'd mine arm so far,
To be afraid to tell graybeards the truth?
Decius, go tell them Caesar will not come.

Decius Brutus: Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause,
Lest I be laugh'd at when I tell them so.

Caesar: The cause is in my will: I will not come;
That is enough to satisfy the senate.
But for your private satisfaction,
Because I love you, I will let you know:
Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home:
She dreamt to-night she saw my statua,
Which, like a fountain with an hundred spouts,
Did run pure blood: and many lusty Romans
Came smiling, and did bathe their hands in it:
And these does she apply for warnings, and portents,
And evils imminent; and on her knee
Hath begg'd that I will stay at home today.

Decius Brutus: This dream is all amiss interpreted;
It was a vision fair and fortunate:
Your statue spouting blood in many pipes,
In which so many smiling Romans bathed,
Signifies that from you great Rome shall suck
Reviving blood, and that great men shall press
For tinctures, stains, relics and cognizance.
This by Calpurnia's dream is signified.

Caesar: And this way have you well expounded it.

Decius Brutus: I have, when you have heard what I can say:
And know it now: the senate have concluded
To give this day a crown to mighty Caesar.
If you shall send them word you will not come,
Their minds may change. Besides, it were a mock
Apt to be render'd, for some one to say
'Break up the senate till another time,
When Caesar's wife shall meet with better dreams.'
If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper
'Lo, Caesar is afraid'?
Pardon me, Caesar; for my dear dear love
To our proceeding bids me tell you this;
And reason to my love is liable.

School of Athens

The School of Athens was painted by Raphael in the year 1510-151. The kind of art Raphael used to was fresco. Fresco is mural paintings which were painted on the ceiling or on the walls. This painting is about knowledge, the people in the paintings are philosophers and students learning from them. And also this painting wasn't about the Romans or nature it was about the famous Greek philosophers.This painting also shows perspective which shows depth and 3D which makes the artwork look more realistic. This art work shows how the Italians wanted to learn more about different type of knowledge not just from the ancient Romans but also the ancient Greeks. This painting shows how the Italians were focused in learning new things in life and whats happening around.

Driving Force of the Renaissance

Trading & Banking

I think the most crucial driving force was "Trading and Banking." Because with out trading and banking the Italians wouldn't have been able to discover new places, different kind of knowledge, different materials from other country etc. I chose a picture of the medic family because the medic's were a very successful family in trading and banking.
